High Value SG

Courtney Lee-Charlotte Hornets (3,800): Lee has played plenty of minutes in this series with at least 40 minutes of court time in four of his last five.  He hasn’t had big numbers though, only managing between 13-20 fantasy points in each of six games so far in the series.  He won’t go off, but you can count on him for something since he gets so much playing time. At a top-heavy position, Lee is a solid cheap value. ∗∗∗

Allen Crabbe-Portland Trail Blazers (2,700): Crabbe should get plenty of playing time in this series against the Warriors since he’s part of the Blazers small-ball attack. Crabbe played well in the last three games of the Blazers series against the Clippers after being held scoreless in Game 2 and Game 3.  He played 27+ minutes in games 4-6 scoring in double digits in each contest.  Crabbe is a cheap flier, but one that could pay off if he gets expanded playing time again in Game 1. ∗∗

Norman Powell-Toronto Raptors (2,700): In Game 5, Powell played more minutes than he had in any of the other games in the series totaling 28 minutes and pouring in ten points to go with four boards and two steals for 19 fantasy points. For some reason I don’t understand, Powell only played 19 minutes in Game 6 scoring two points and adding two rebounds for just 4.0 fantasy points. He’s high-risk but I think he’ll be high-reward as well  as he and the Raptors return to Toronto for Game 7.  Powell gives the Raptors their toughest lineup, so I think Dwane Casey will get him back in the rotation tonight. ∗
