High Value SG

Players costing $6,250 or under

Kelly Oubre Jr (at MIN – $5,700): Needs 26.1 fantasy points. Oubre had 36.75 fantasy points against the Hornets on Saturday. He continues to deliver for the Suns and could see even more opportunities in this game as the Suns might be without two key players in their frontcourt. He does a bit of everything and he’ll make plenty of energy plays in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Jeremy Lamb (at IND – $5,400): Needs 24.7 fantasy points. Lamb had 37.75 fantasy points in 24 minutes against the Suns on Saturday. He’s been good over the last three games for the Hornets and he’s at a good salary given his usual minutes and production. The scoring and rebounding should be there for him in this outing. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Bryn Forbes (vs LAC – $4,600): Needs 21.4 fantasy points. Forbes was down to 15 fantasy points against the Timberwolves on Jan. 18 and he’s been a bit down in the last week or so. I’m not too concerned as he’s always going to get minutes and give you something. There’s no real risk of a dud game and the matchup is a good one on Sunday. As always, you can pair White and Forbes and feel confident at the guard position. Diagnosis: reliable with a decent ceiling.
