High Value SG
Andrew Wiggins, MIN at HOU ($6,200): Wiggins missed value on Tuesday against the Magic, posting 22.8 fantasy points. It was the first time in six games he had missed value and possibly a sign that his hot streak is over given the matchup. The Rockets are 26th against the position in their last 15 games. On paper, this should be a good matchup for Wiggins. With the Rockets missing key guys, he’ll likely have an easier time on offense. I think he’ll be around value, but I’m not 100 percent confident in him given his inconsistencies. ***
Evan Fournier, ORL at CLE ($5,700): Fournier had 37.9 fantasy points against the Timberwolves on Tuesday. With Arron Afflalo likely to be suspended, Fournier should see those minutes and opportunities, much like he did on Tuesday once Afflalo was ejected. He had 21.7 fantasy points against the Cavaliers on Jan. 6. I like him to step up and make the most of his extra chances, especially against a weak Cleveland defense. ***
Dwyane Wade, CLE vs ORL ($5,200): Wade had 32.3 fantasy points against the Magic on Jan. 6. He’s been over value in three of his last four. The Magic are third against the position in their last 15 games, but I’m not too concerned about that number when it comes to Wade. He posts a high usage rate coming off the bench and gets every opportunity to put up scoring and assist numbers. The Cavaliers may give up a lot of points, but they’ll score plenty in this one. ****
