High Salary SG

Victor Oladipo ($9,800): Oladipo missed value by 2.2 fantasy points in Game 3. He shrugged with his shot a bit and turned the ball over, but still rebounded well and created shots for others. Even when his shot is falling, he’s still a value option due to his role in the Pacers offense. He’ll give you at least 40 fantasy points in Game 4. ****

Bradley Beal ($7,900): Beal showed up in Game 3 and dropped 46.8 fantasy points on the Raptors. He found his rhythm at home and should enter Game 4 with plenty of confidence. Getting shots weren’t really an issue in Games 1 and 2, he just wasn’t knocking them down. Expect his hot shooting to continue in Game 4. ****

High Value SG

Klay Thompson ($6,500): Thank God Thompson is slightly under the average salary because there is absolutely nothing to love at shooting guard outside of the high salary players. Thompson missed value in Game 3, but he’s good for at least 25 fantasy points and always has a chance to catch fire from the field. ***

J.R. Smith ($3,600): Here’s what we know about Smith: he starts and he shoots. That’s, at least, something. He had 26 fantasy points in Game 3, but there’s always a chance he has under 10 fantasy points because he’s J.R. Smith. He’s not trustworthy, but there are some positive qualities to him unlike other value shooting guards. *
