Jae Crowder-Boston Celtics (5,900): Recently, Crowder has been playing well and had posted 27 fantasy points in six straight before taking on the Rockets in his most recent game on Wednesday.Crowder was even better on Wednesday finishing with one of his best stat lines of the year with 23-10-4 for 45 fantasy points. Tonight, he’ll get a good matchup against Orlando who he had 17-10-2 against in the teams’ last meeting.∗∗∗

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist-Charlotte Hornets (5,300): The Hornets have stuck with Kidd-Gilchrist throughout his struggles this season, and it looks like he may be starting to come around. He has at least 25 fantasy points in four of his last five and is coming off a strong 15-9-0 with two blocks against the Warriors. He finished that game with 32.25 fantasy points and has over 27 fantasy points in four of his last five games.∗∗

Kent Bazemore-Atlanta Hawks (5,100): Another player who started the season slow but is turning things around lately is Kent Bazemore who is getting more usage and opportunities since the Hawks traded Kyle Korver. He had 25-3-2 for 36.25 fantasy points against the Clippers on Monday and followed that with an even-better 16-6-7 for 42.5 fantasy points against the Bulls.∗∗∗∗

Jeff Green-Orlando Magic (4,000): Green continues to get some run for the Magic and has at least 19 fantasy points in each of his last five games. He started at SG in Orlando’s last game on Tuesday. He ended up with 13-7-1 for 24.25 fantasy points in that game, and if Evan Fournier is out again tonight, Green could be in the lineup once again. If starting-∗∗∗ Not starting-∗∗

Sam Dekker-Houston Rockets (3,800): Dekker has been playing extra minutes for the Rockets lately and with Eric Gordon unlikely to play tonight he’ll be an important part of the team’s second unit once again. Dekker has played 25 minutes or more in five of his last six games and has 24+ fantasy points inor more in three of his last four games including 15-4-0 with a block and a steal agains the Celtics on Wednesday for 24.5 fantasy points and an even better 43.25 fantasy points against the Grizzlies last Saturday.∗∗
