High Value SG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Bogdan Bogdanovic (vs ORL – $6,600): Needs 28 fantasy points. It’s another member of the Kings. Bogdanovic entered the starting lineup against the Warriors and had 42.7 fantasy points. It doesn’t matter if he’s in the starting lineup or coming off the bench. The minutes are there and he’ll post strong numbers in this game. He does a bit of everything and it’s a good matchup. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Malcolm Brogdon (vs UTA – $5,900): Needs 25.1 fantasy points. Brogdon had 35.1 fantasy points against the Raptors on Jan. 5. You know what you’re going to get from Brogdon on most nights. He gets plenty of minutes and he’s a fairly reliable option. The matchup is tough, but he played well against the Jazz last season and he’s even better this season. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Evan Fournier (at SAC – $5,500): Needs 23.4 fantasy points. Fournier is one of the most inconsistent and frustrating players you’ll run into, but this continues to be a great matchup. He’s playing well right now and he typically gets the minutes to produce. Against the Kings, I have to trust that this will be one of his better games. Diagnosis: Love this matchup and Fournier does have a good ceiling.
