High Value SG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Dennis Schroder (at GS – $6,000): Needs 24.6 fantasy points. With Westbrook back in the lineup, Schroder’s salary has dropped to a more reasonable level. He struggled on Nov. 19, finishing with just 18.5 fantasy points. But I’m not concerned. The minutes and chances will continue to be there. And there’s not a lot of reason to trust the Warriors right now. Diagnosis: He’ll bounce back. The minutes and usage will continue to be there. Expect him to be better.

Justin Holiday (vs PHO – $5,500): Needs 22.5 fantasy points. Holiday had 23.3 fantasy points against the Raptors on Nov. 17. Decent numbers, given the matchup. Holiday has been a bit all over the place this season, but if LaVine is out, the minutes are going to be there. Plus, it’s the Suns. You can always count on big games against the Suns. Diagnosis: Good value given the circumstances and matchup.

Malcolm Brogdon (vs POR – $5,000): Needs 20.5 fantasy points. Brogdon had 24.1 fantasy points against the Nuggets on Nov. 19. I love him and will continue to love his at this salary. He’s a high ceiling guy who plays alongside the potential MVP and gets plenty of chances to contribute. The Blazers are a tough matchup, and he wasn’t good against them on Nov. 6, but Portland is on a back-to-back and the Bucks are better at home. Diagnosis: Nice low-cost option who is reliable at this salary and has a high ceiling.
