High Value SG

Evan Fournier-Orlando Magic (5,700): Fournier has scored at least 13 points in nine games in a row and continues to be one of the few stable options in the Orlando attack. He had 21 points in consecutive games last week with 37.5 and 31 fantasy points but trailed off against Indiana on Monday with just 14 points and 21.5 fantasy points. Fournier should be able to attack the Pelicans tonight in a game the struggling Magic could really use a win in at home. ∗∗∗

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope-Detroit Pistons (5,000): Caldwell-Pope has turned things around since a one-point disaster in LA against the Clippers early last week. In each of his four games since that blowout, he has at least 22 fantasy points went off for 40 fantasy points against the Suns last Wednesday night. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against New York who is allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing SG so far this year. KCP had 17 points against the Thunder on Monday, and he should be primed for a big night at Madison Square Garden tonight.∗∗∗∗

Seth Curry-Dallas Mavericks (4,600): Curry has at least 20 fantasy points in three straight games and is playing 30+ minutes for coach Rick Carlisle with Deron Williams and Dirk Nowitzki out. There’s a chance D-Will is back tonight, but if he’s sidelined again Curry makes sense as a nice play at this price especially against the small-ball friendly Celtics. No Williams-∗∗∗ With Williams-∗

Jamal Murray-Denver Nuggets (3,700): The Nuggets are going to get a long look at rookie Jamal Murray with the news that Gary Harris will miss the next few weeks and coach Mike Malone’s publicly stated displeasure with starting PG Emmanuel Mudiay’s play lately. Murray has been showing good signs lastly with at least nine points in five of his last six games and a pair of games with over 25 fantasy points in his last three. He had a career-high 19 points against the Blazers on Sunday, and he should get lots of run tonight in a great matchup against the backcourt of the Suns which has been one of the most generous to opposing PG and SG all season.∗∗∗∗
