High Value SF

Robert Covington-Philadelphia 76ers (5,700): Covington has at least 14 points in four straight games and has at least 25 fantasy points in each of those contests as well. He had a monster 26-12-2 game for over 45 fantasy points during that span and should be in a good matchup to attack tonight against the Pelicans. He’s still as boom-or-bust as he usulally is, but his recent play makes him a slightly better option since he seems to have a solid role and be establishing some consistency.∗∗∗

Jae Crowder-Boston Celtics (5,500): Crowder has at least 29 fantasy points in three of his last four games and is coming off his best performance since October. He posted 15-6-1 with five steals against the Heat on Sunday for 35.5 fantasy points. He also won rock-paper-scissors, but there isn’t a DraftKings bonus for that. Still, he can give you solid production almost every night with his multi-category effectiveness. He’s a solid play tonight although he is in a tough matchup against Memphis who allows the second-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing SF.∗∗

Justise Winslow-Miami Heat (5,000): Winslow played 32 minutes against Boston on Sunday and is showing no ill effects of the wrist injury which cost him a month of the season. Winlsow had 26.5 fantasy points on 8-4-4 with four steals in that game against the Celtics and should be able to improve on that total tonight against Orlando as he continues to work his way back to 100%.∗∗∗

Glenn Robinson III-Indiana Pacers (4,500): GR3 has started for the Pacers for his last five games, but he hasn’t really stepped up except for one game. He had 12-12-0 and 28 fantasy points against the Pistons last Friday, but only managed 5-4-0 and 9.0 fantasy points yesterday against Washington. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against the Knicks who allow the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing SG which is where Robinson is playing for Ellis. He has a ton of potential because o the matchup but a ton of risk due to his recent disappointments.∗
