High Value SG
Players costing $6,250 or under
Kent Bazemore (at CLE – $5,700): Needs 25.4 fantasy points. Bazemore had 31.25 fantasy points against the Sixers. I expect him to be just as good against the Cavaliers because who isn’t good against the Cavaliers right now? Bazemore should be able to put up big scoring numbers while chipping in with rebounds and assists. Diagnosis: I’m pounding the Cavaliers on Tuesday. They are a wreck, I don’t know who is playing, and the Hawks already smoked them once.
Buddy Hield (at ORL – $5,500): Needs 24.5 fantasy points. Hield has remained hot and is coming off a 47 fantasy point performance against the Heat on Monday. He’s red hot to start the season and showing no signs of slowing down. Even though the Kings are on a back-to-back, they are playing the Magic and Hield is a proven DFS this early in the season. Diagnosis: Great matchup for a player who is on a roll right now and still has a low salary.
Rodney Hood (vs ATL – $5,100): Needs 22.7 fantasy points. Hood is coming off a 31.7 fantasy point performance against the Pacers. I still don’t know what the Cavaliers are doing, but I would imagine that Hood is going to get some good playing time and he’s always got the green light. Diagnosis: Great matchup and I expect Hood to get plenty of shots.
