High Salary SG

Bradley Beal, WAS vs NO ($7,700): The Pelicans are last against shooting guards in their last 15 games and have struggled to defend the perimeter all season. Beal is going to see plenty of looks from deep and he’s a proven shooter out there. He’s been great since John Wall has returned, continuing to get his points but also picking up rebounds and assists. He needs 34.4 fantasy points to hit value. He’s been at that number or better in seven straight. *****

Khris Middleton, MIL vs CLE ($7,300): Middleton continues to be a fantasy stud playing alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Cavaliers are 22nd against shooting guards in their last 15 games. Middleton has been the second best player on the Bucks in recent weeks, putting up numbers in all categories. His two games against the Cavs have been night and day this year. He had 17.75 fantasy points against them on Oct. 20, but finished with 52.75 fantasy points on Nov. 7. ****

High Value SG

Dwyane Wade, CLE at MIL ($4,800): Wade is scheduled to return after resting against the Wizards. He’s missed value in five straight, but needs just 21.9 fantasy points to hit on Tuesday. The days off should do him some good. Even when he’s not scoring, his picking up assists and rebounds, which helps him reach value. ***

Kelly Oubre Jr., WAS vs NO ($4,700): Otto Porter Jr. didn’t practice again on Monday, which doesn’t bode well for his availability on Tuesday. If he’s out again, Oubre Jr. should draw another start. He had 25 fantasy points against the Cavaliers, picking up solid numbers in every category. Even if he’s coming off the bench, he’s a solid play that should be at a minimum of 25 fantasy points. ****
