High Value SG

Will Barton, DEN at MEM ($6,200): If Gary Harris is out, that means Barton will likely pick up the start. He’s coming off a 34.3 fantasy point effort against the Pistons on Thursday. A starting Rolle will open up more chances for Barton as it means more time next to Nikola Jokic. Barton had 34.2 fantasy points against the Grizzlies on Mar. 2. Even if Harris plays, the matchup is good and Barton should at least hit value. And if he starts, 30-plus fantasy points is not out of the question. ****

Caris LeVert, BKN vs DAL ($6,100): LeVert came in under value against the Sixers on Friday, finishing with 21.6 fantasy points. His salary has jumped to where he needs 24.8 fantasy points to hit value. The Sixers just seem to have his number as that’s been his only two misses in his last six games. Both teams are on a back-to-back, but the Nets are at home and didn’t play the best team in the East in overtime on Friday. LeVert should have a bounce back performance. ***

Nick Young, GS at PHO ($5,000): Someone has to score for Golden State. It was Quinn Cook on Friday, but what are the chances he goes10-13 again, even if they are playing the Suns? Young is getting the majority of the scoring opportunities right now and even though he’s inconsistent, there’s always a big game lurking for Swaggy P. He’s a risky bet and if you want a more reliable option, then Eric Gordon is your guy. But it’s late in the season. Get weird. **
