High Value SG

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope-Detroit Pistons (5,600): KCP has posted two strong games in his three since returning from a shoulder injury that cost him some time in mid-January. He had 14-5-4 for 34.75 in his first game back against the Kings, struggled to just 8.5 fantasy points against the Heat, and bounced back with 30.75 on 18-3-3 against the Celtics. Since he is under 6K, KCP can definitely can contribute over full value at this price.∗∗∗∗

Norman Powell-Toronto Raptors (5,500): Powell got another start with DeMar DeRozan out last night against New Orleans, and he stepped up again with 18-4-3, two blocks, and two steals for 34 fantasy points. He has over 28 fantasy points in four of his last five games which were his four starts. He struggled in the one game DeRozan returned for, but he’ll get another go tonight in Boston where he already had one good game earlier this season when he had 20-3-2 with five steals in a spot start in December.∗∗∗

Gary Harris-Denver Nuggets (4,800): Harris has over 34 fantasy points in three of his five games since returning from injury and had 17-4-4 with four steals in LA last night for 35.5 fantasy points. He comes home tonight as the Nuggets take on Memphis, but since he looks healthy and back to his full role, give him a look even though the matchup is less than ideal. He will get more playing time tonight if Will Barton is out again after missing last night’s game with a back injury.∗∗∗∗

Wesley Matthews-Dallas Mavericks (4,700): The Mavs somehow pulled off a huge back-toback sweep against the Spurs and Cavs this past Sunday-Monday. One of the main reasons why was the return and solid play of Wesley Matthews. Matthews had 17-7-3 for 34.75 fantasy points against San Antonio and 21-4-2 for 30 fantasy points against Cleveland. He has at least 29 fantasy points in each of his last four games not cut short by injury, and he looked healthy this weekend. As he and the Mavs host Philadelphia, look for Matthews to keep on piling up production with a very high ceiling tonight.∗∗∗

Courtney Lee-New York Knicks (4,300): Lee crashed back to earth with just 12.75 fantasy points last night against the Wizards on 5-5-1. He had been rolling before that, though with 34+ fantasy points in three straight (including the 4OT game) and at least 13 points scored in five straight. Tonight should be a great matchup for Lee which is enough to make him a boom-or-bust bounce-back option.∗∗

Iman Shumpert-Cleveland Cavaliers (4,100): Shumpert had a down game in Cleveland’s loss to Wes Matthews and the Mavericks finishing with only 13.5 fantasy points on 8-4-0. Before that game, though, he had 20+ fantasy points in six of his previous eight contests, and he’ll continue to start next to LeBron James and Kyrie Irving since J.R. Smith is still a ways from returning. Shumpert doesn’t have a  high ceiling but he’s fairly reliable for a 4K player. ∗∗∗
