High Value SF

Otto Porter Jr., WAS at ATL ($6,400): Porter Jr. was back up to his normal minutes on Monday, playing 36 minutes and finishing with 33.2 fantasy points. The Hawks are 28th against the position in their last 15 games, making this a great matchup for Porter. He had 20.2 fantasy points on Nov. 11 against the Hawks, but that game wasn’t competitive and Porter Jr. did not have to be his usual self on the score sheet. He’s been a bit inconsistent this season, but he’s better with John Wall in the lineup and should be at value on Wednesday. ***

Taurean Prince, ATL vs WAS ($5,500): Prince has missed value in three straight and has been a bit inconsistent this season, hitting value in just 58 percent of games this year. He had 34.1 fantasy points against the Wizards on Nov. 11. The game was a blowout, but it was a positive sign for the Hawks forward. He can do a little bit of everything and has the potential to have big scoring nights. The Wizards are 20th against the position in their last 15 games. Prince does post the second highest usage rate in the Hawks last five games. ***

Wilson Chandler, DEN at MIN ($5,300): Chandler had 25.9 fantasy points against the Jazz on Tuesday. It’s his lowest number since Dec. 15, but still above value. He’s been at value or better in eight of his last nine games. That includes a 28 fantasy point game against the Timberwolves a week ago. Chandler’s salary is still low enough for him to exceed expectations. He’s been better on the road than at home this season, which is rare for most players on the Nuggets. ****
