High Value SG
Buddy Hield, SAC vs DET ($5,900): Hield has been over 40 fantasy points in his last three. He needs 25.8 fantasy points to reach value on Monday. The Pistons are 16th against shooting guards in their last 15 games. The Pistons have been inconsistent and disappointing since acquiring Blake Griffin and while the Kings aren’t good, Hield is providing them with strong production off the bench. The matchup is good and Hield’s hot streak should land him over 30 fantasy points. ****
Denzel Valentine, CHI at NY ($5,700): Valentine picked up the start against the Cavaliers and finished with 57.75 fantasy points. He should make another start on Monday as Zach LaVine is not with the team in New York. Valentine has been inconsistent all season due to fluctuating playing time on a team trying to figure things out all season. But he’s getting playing time right now and making the most of his opportunity. He should give you at least 28 fantasy points on Monday. ****
Jeremy Lamb, CHA at PHI ($4,200): Lamb has missed value in his last two, finishing with 12 fantasy points against the Knicks on Saturday. But Nicolas Batum won’t play on Monday, meaning Lamb should pick up the start. He’s averaging 29.5 fantasy points when starting for Charlotte this season. If you want someone who is reliable and will get you guaranteed points, J.J. Redick is your guy. But the circumstances should put Lamb over 25 fantasy points on Monday. If he doesn’t start, look elsewhere. ***
