High Value SF

Jae Crowder-Boston Celtics (5,700): Crowder had a solid 17-10-2 performance on Wednesday against Orlando to post 34 fantasy points in 30 minutes. He has scored in double-digits with  at least 22 fantasy points in his last eight straight and should be ready to go for 30 or so fantasy points tonight against the Raptors who won’t have DaMarre Carroll. He’ll also have to be more involved on the offensive end with no Isaiah Thomas. ∗∗∗∗

Thabo Sefolosha-Atlanta Hawks (4,400): As the Hawks have struggled through a variety of injuries this month, Sefolosha has stepped up and been a solid producer when called upon. He has at least 22 fantasy points in each of his last two games and in five of his last nine. He had 10-5-5 against Miami on Wednesday and should get a boost in playing time tonight against the Bucks since Kent Bazemore has already been ruled out. ∗∗∗

P.J. Tucker-Phoenix Suns (4,000): Tucker somehow played 21 minutes on Tuesday and totaled exactly one fantasy point (a steal and two turnovers). While that is definitely not the kind of “impressive” fete you want on your fantasy team, he did have over 23 fantasy points in each of the three previous games and bounce back with 15.5 fantasy points against the Pacers on Wednesday. Tonight, he’ll get a log of minutes against the Lakers who are allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing SF this season. He’s high-risk, but there is value to be had since he’ll get the minutes in a really favorable matchup. ∗∗
