High Value SG

Wesley Matthews-Dallas Mavericks (4,900): Despite all the Mavericks injuries, the team continues to play hard and Matthews found a bit of his rhythm in Game 3 with 22 points and 36.25 fantasy points and carried that over to Game 4 when he had 19 points and 23.5 fantasy points while playing a massive 38 minutes.  With Deron Williams officially out for the season, Matthews will play extremely heavy minutes for however long the Mavs can extend the series.  His 13 total points in the first two games of the series in OKC are cause for concern, but he has shown signs of turning the corner. 

Josh Richardson-Miami Heat (3,700): Richardson posted 21+ fantasy points in each of the first two games of the series but only managed 9.0 fantasy points in Miami’s Game 3 loss with two points, two rebounds, and two assists.  In good new for Richardson investors, he did play a still-busy 29 minutes and should keep getting plenty of time as the team’s primary backup guard.  Despite his disappointment in Game 3, I think he’ll bounce back tonight and be a solid value play once again.
