High Value SG

Caris LeVert, BKN at NO ($5,700): LeVert continues to be a solid contributor off the Nets bench. He had 29.5 fantasy points on Tuesday against the Spurs. The Pelicans have struggled with perimeter players all season and are 26th against the position in their last 15 games. The back-to-back is concerning as LeVert has missed value in four of six back-to-back games. He started in three of those contests and simply doesn’t perform as well as a starter. As long as he’s coming off the bench, he should be at value. ***

Jordan Clarkson, LAL vs MEM ($5,500): With Lonzo Ball scheduled to miss a few games, Clarkson almost becomes a must-play. He’s going to be the starter moving and likely see 30+ minutes every night. He had 45.7 fantasy points as the starter on Monday against the Timberwolves. He’s a more aggressive scorer than Ball, but he showed good restraint on Monday, running the Lakers offense and collecting rebounds and assists. The Grizzlies are on a back-to-back and might be the worst team in the West right now. *****

Kent Bazemore, ATL vs WAS ($6,100): Bazemore has been a solid fantasy player all season, hitting value in 73 percent of contests. He’s beet at value or better in six of his last seven games. In the one game where he missed value, he missed by just .4 fantasy points. He had 23 fantasy points in 24 minutes against the Wizards on Nov. 11. He puts up solid numbers in every category and really helps his value with his defensive play. ***
