High Value SG

Monta Ellis-Indiana Pacers (5,800): Ellis had a rough Game 3 ending up with just 20.5 fantasy points on seven points, six rebounds, four assists, and a steal. He missed the practice the day before due to personal reasons and never seems to find his rhythm. He should be in for a bounce back game tonight and started the series pretty strong with 33.25 fantasy points and 30.25 fantasy points in the two games in Toronto. Since he hasn’t missed practice, I think Ellis will be more tuned in and ready to roll tonight. ∗∗

Wesley Matthews-Dallas Mavericks (4,600): Matthews finally got his shot dropping in Game 3, but it ultimately wasn’t enough for the Mavs to take the series lead over OKC. After going 3-11 in Game 2, Matthews shot 6-13 on Thursday scoring 22 points and adding five rebounds to total 36.25 fantasy points in just 33 minutes. If the Mavs can keep tonight’s game closer, Matthews could end up with more minutes and he’s a good option if his shot keeps dropping. ∗∗∗

Josh Richardson-Miami Heat (3,900): Richardson played over 30 minutes off the bench in both of the first two games of the series and was able to total 21.25 and 22 fantasy points. He had 15 points in Game 2 but only one assist and two rebounds. In Game 1, his non-scoring numbers were much better but he only scored eight points. If he can get all his production together, he could have a big game tonight and is a pretty low-risk option given the amount of playing time he’s getting off the bench right now for Miami. ∗∗∗∗
