High Value SF

Johnathan Motley, DAL at PHI ($5,200): Motley has picked up starts in his last two games with Dirk Nowitzki out of the lineup. He had 47.4 fantasy points against the Pistons on Friday and needs 22.4 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. He can provide points and rebounds and is looking to make an impact heading into next season. Expect him over value once again, despite the tough matchup. ***

Dorian Finney-Smith, DAL at PHI ($4,400): Finney-Smith has done fairly well in these late season starts. He’s coming off a 34 fantasy point performance against the Pistons on Friday and needs 19 fantasy points to reach value on Sunday. He can put up solid scoring and rebounding numbers. He should be over value once more. ***

Mario Hezonja, ORL at TOR ($5,900): Hezonja missed value against the Hornets on Friday, finishing with 22 fantasy points. He needs 25.5 fantasy points to reach value on Sunday. His minutes were down against the Hornets, which is concerning heading into Sunday’s game. If he were guaranteed 30-plus minutes, he’d be over value. With the Raptors playing for nothing and Hezonja looking to further showcase himself, he should at least hit value, but proceed with caution. ***

Jamel Artis, ORL at TOR ($3,900): Artis is getting minutes and he picked up a start against the Hornets. He’s not a great option, but he can score and chip in with rebounds. Most importantly, he’s getting the playing time to be a contributor. He needs 16.8 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday and makes for a decent low cost option. ***
