High Value SG

Klay Thompson, GS at IND ($6,500): Thompson has been over 30 fantasy points in his last two games, including a 34.3 fantasy point effort against the Thunder on Tuesday. He needs 26.8 fantasy points to reach value on Thursday. With Steph Curry out of the lineup, he’s the second scoring option in Golden State and he’s a very good second scoring option. He gets his shots and he’s a safe bet to make them. Expect him over 30 fantasy points once again. ****

Andrew Wiggins, MIN at DEN ($6,400): Jimmy Butler is listed as doubtful for Thursday. Assuming he doesn’t play, you know what you’re getting from Wiggins. He’s been as reliable as they come with Butler out of the lineup and now he’s at a reduced salary due to Butler’s unknown status. And if Jeff Teague is out as well, that puts even more offensive responsibility on Wiggins. It’s a good matchup and he’ll get you at least 30 fantasy points with a good chance he’s over 35 fantasy points if the circumstances line up. ****

Caris LeVert, BKN at MIL ($5,400): LeVert has missed value in his last two games and is coming off a poor 13.6 fantasy point effort against the Sixers on Tuesday. But DeMarre Carroll is out of the lineup, which could lend more offensive opportunities to LeVert. He needs 22.4 fantasy points to hit value on Thursday. He’s a slight risk, but the matchup and circumstances are good for LeVert against Milwaukee. ***
