High Value SG

Danny Green-San Antonio Spurs (3,500): Green’s playing time and contributions fluctuate from time to time since the Spurs rotation changes based on need and opponents’ matchup. Green played 26 minutes in Game 1 turning in a solid 34.5 fantasy points on 18 points, four boards, and three blocks.  He is a huge part of the Spurs defensive gameplan and when he adds offense like he did in Game 1, the Spurs are almost unstoppable.  Look for Green to continue to step up for the Spurs throughout their playoff run, and I expect to see much more of him in Game 2. 

Tim Hardaway Jr.-Atlanta Hawks (2,000): If your other investments force you to the bottom of the SG options, the player who I think has the most potential for a surprise performance tonight is Tim Hardaway Jr. who gives the Hawks instant offense coming off the bench. Hardaway started Round 1 battling a hamstring issue but played 18 and 17 minutes in Game 5 and Game 6 respectively.  Hardaway had seven points, three rebounds, and two assists for 14.25 fantasy points in Game 6 and if he gets similar run tonight against the Cavs he could be a sneaky place to get some production at SG. He’s very high-risk, though, since the Hawks rotation coming off the bench is inconsistent depending on the flow of the game.
