High Value SG
Jaylen Brown, BOS at TOR ($5,500): Brown had 37 fantasy points against the Bucks on Tuesday. With Terry Rozier out of the lineup, Brown and Jayson Tatum saw more scoring opportunities and they delivered for the Celtics. He was held to 13.75 fantasy points against the Raptors on Saturday. If Rozer doesn’t play once again, it should bode well for Brown’s value. It’s a tough matchup, but he’ll see a higher usage once again. Rozier playing makes him a slightly less attractive option. ***
J.J. Barea, DAL at ORL ($5,300): Barea returned to the lineup on Tuesday against the Trail Blazers and finished with 28 fantasy points. He’s hit value in 72 percent of games this season. You know what you’re getting from Barea on most nights. He’s going to put up solid scoring and assist numbers, chip in elsewhere, and put himself over value. The matchup is good and he’s as reliable as they come as a value guy. ***
Damion Lee, ATL vs MIA ($4,800): Lee was the benefactor of Prince’s benching, playing 37 minutes and finishing with 39.75 fantasy points against the heat on Tuesday. At this salary, he’s a bit of a risk because he’s not the most reliable guy despite playing solid minutes on most nights. And if Prince returns to form, that lessens the opportunities for Lee. But maybe he’s riding hot from Tuesday. **
