LOS ANGELES, CA – DECEMBER 27: Brandon Ingram /

High Salary SG

DeMar DeRozan, TOR vs CLE ($8,800): No Kyle Lowry means DeRozan will be tasked with carrying the offense once again. He didn’t fare so well on Tuesday, contributing 39 fantasy points against the Heat. I’m willing to forgive that performance given that it was a back-to-back, he had no practice time to adjust without Lowry, and the Heat have a stingy defense. The Cavaliers have…the Cavaliers defense. I like DeRozan more with Lowry, but he’ll have a higher usage without him. ****

Brandon Ingram, LAL vs SA ($6,600): Ingram missed value against the Kings thanks to a lot of turnovers and not enough shots. Turnovers have been an issue for the young guard and a game against the Spurs isn’t the best remedy. No Kawhi Leonard should certainly help his chances. I still don’t know quite what to make of the Lakers rotations and this is not a good matchup for them. **

High Value SG

Bogdan Bogdanovic, SAC vs LAC ($5,000): Bogdanovic has missed value just once since Dec. 20. He’s becoming a reliable play thanks to his scoring and passing ability. The Clippers are 22nd against the position in their last 15 games. Bogdanovic should be around 25 fantasy points in this one with a chance to push 30 fantasy points if this turns into a shootout. ***

Dwyane Wade, CLE at TOR ($4,800): The Cavaliers have not played well as of late, but Wade has done his part for fantasy owners. He’s hit value in four of his last five and I continue to love his game next to Isaiah Thomas. Thomas isn’t to where he was last season, but just his presence opens things up for Wade. This is a big game for the Cavaliers and Wade typically shows up for these games. ****

HM: J.J. Redick ($5,500)
