High Value SG
Players costing $6,250 or under
JJ Redick (vs CHA – $5,600): Needs 25.4 fantasy points. If you’ve been following along this season, you’ll know that I always love Redick. He’s rarely going to hurt you given the amount of shots he gets in Philly’s system and he’s such a good shooter that you trust him to make shots. If Embiid is out, someone has to pick up the offense. Redick is as good a bet as any. Diagnosis: Trust the shooter.
Bojan Bogdanovic (at CLE – $4,400): Needs 20 fantasy points. Bogdanovic hasn’t been great this season, but I will trust him to play well against the Cavaliers. He still gets respectable minutes and good looks on offense. His value is largely tied to his scoring, but this feels like a game where he has plenty of points in him. Diagnosis: Cleveland is reaching Suns territory where you should take advantage of them.
Garrett Temple (vs PHO – $4,000): Needs 18.2 fantasy points. Temple has put together some decent games this season, including 44 fantasy points against the Hawks on Oct. 19. He’s a veteran guy who gets big minutes on a balanced team that can sometimes use scoring. Plus, he’s going up against Phoenix. Diagnosis: Low cost option with a high ceiling and a great matchup.
