High Value SG

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, LAL vs MIN ($6,300): The Timberwolves are on a back-to-back and don’t exactly have the most intimidating defense in the world. Caldwell-Pope has bounced back in recent games, going 12-plus fantasy points over value in games against the Jazz and Spurs. Minnesota is a much easier matchup than those two teams. He had 44.2 fantasy points against Minnesota on Feb. 15. He should be over 30 fantasy points once again. ****

J.J. Redick, PHI vs CLE ($5,400): Redick has been over value in six straight and is coming off a 37.4 fantasy point performance against the Pistons on Wednesday. He needs 22.5 fantasy points to hit value on Friday. Dario Saric is expected to be back in the lineup, which will take away some opportunities for Redick, but he still gets plenty of shots and potential assists in the Philadelphia offense. His minutes should be up, assuming this game is competitive. ****

Jaylen Brown, BOS vs CHI ($5,300): Brown has been hit-and-miss in his last ten games. He’s coming off a miss, finishing with 12.4 fantasy points against the Raptors on Wednesday. If you believe in the trend, he’ll be back over value on Friday. You can also believe in the matchup and Brown’s success against Chicago this season. The Bulls are 25th against the position in their last 15 games and Brown is averaging 27 fantasy points in three games against them this season. Expect him over value. ***
