High Value SG

Nicolas Batum, CHA at WAS ($6,200): Batum has missed value in his two games since returning from injury and is coming off a 14.9 fantasy point performance against the Cavaliers. He’s played just 24 and 26 minutes in his two games back. Lack of playing time is a concern and he’s taken a backseat a bit to Kemba Walker and Dwight Howard. He did post 31.2 fantasy points in 27 minutes against the Wizards on Feb. 23. He’s a risk due to his recent games, but the ceiling is high. **

Buddy Hield, SAC vs GS ($6,100): Hield has been up-and-down in his last five games. He’s coming off a 29.4 fantasy point performance against the Pacers on Thursday. He needs 24.8 fantasy points to reach value on Saturday. He’s been over 30 fantasy points in his last two games against the Warriors, including a 36.9 fantasy point performance against Golden State on Mar. 16. Expect him to at least hit value and likely push 30 fantasy points. ***

Caris LeVert, BKN at MIA ($5,800): LeVert has been over value in four of his last five. He’s done very well against the Heat this season, averaging 31.1 fantasy points in three contests, including 35-plus fantasy point games in his last two against Miami. He needs 23.6 fantasy points to reach value on Saturday. He gets good run off the Brooklyn bench and should at least give you value. ***
