High Value SG

Will Barton-Denver Nuggets (5,700): Barton is coming off the bench behind Gary Harris, but he’s still finding ways to contribute as a solid sixth-man like he was last season. He had a huge game on Monday in Denver’s win over LA finishing with 23-8-6 for 43.5 fantasy points in 32 minutes. He has at least 25 fantasy points in each of his last three games and four of his last five making him a pretty good option to check out under 6K as the Nuggets host the T-Pups tonight.∗∗∗

Jamal Crawford-Los Angeles Clippers (5,400): In that Clippers-Nuggets game, the Clippers got a third straight game of 20+ points from Jamal Crawford who had 24-4-6 for 41.5 fantasy points. He has at least 27 fantasy points in each of his last three and is helping to fill in the gap while J.J. Redick and Chris Paul deal with hamstring issues. If they’re out tonight, Crawford would get another chance to reach 20 points against the Pelicans. With both active, he takes a back seat but I think at least one will be out tonight. Both J.J. and CP3 out-∗∗∗∗ Either active-∗∗

Jodie Meeks-Orlando Magic (3,900): Meeks has also been filling in admirably for Evan Fournier who is dealing with a right heel contusion. Since returning from his own injury, Meeks has looked solid when he has gotten playing time. He has over 20 fantasy points in each of the four games he has played over 20 minutes. If he gets that kind of run again tonight, he’ll be a nice value buy at just under 4K. No Fournier-∗∗∗ With Fournier-∗
