High Value SG

Klay Thompson, GS at POR ($7500): Thompson scored 24 actual points in Game 3, his best effort of the series, but he still only managed 30.4 fantasy points. Through three games, he’s averaging about 24 fantasy points per game and, though he has explosive potential on any given night, he has shown no signs of living up to his usual level in this series.  **

Bradley Beal, WAS at ATL ($7500): Beal had his worst game of the series in Game 3, scoring 20.5 fantasy points after averaging 36 fantasy points in the first two games. The Hawks jumped on the Wizards in Game 3, winning easily and cutting the series lead to one game, but Beal and crew will try to right the ship on the road for Game 4.  ***

Norman Powell, TOR vs MIL ($3100): Powell was not in the rotation at all in the first two games bu played well enough in 15 minutes of Game 3 to earn the start in Game 4. He took advantage of 34 minutes in Game 4 to score 24.8 fantasy points. He’s still risky and a bit of a punt play, but his price tag is low enough to justify the risk. ***
