High Value SG

Players costing $6,250 or under

Kelly Oubre Jr (vs POR – $5,700): Needs 25.9 fantasy points. Oubre Jr was down to 24.25 fantasy points against the Timberwolves on Jan. 22. His minutes were down as well but it was a blowout. This could be a blowout as well because the Suns are not good but Oubre brings the energy and remains at a reasonable salary. And with TJ Warren likely out, Oubre could see some extra minutes and opportunities. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Dennis Schroder (vs NO – $4,800): Needs 22.3 fantasy points. Schroder was down to 19.75 fantasy points against the Blazers on Jan. 22. He’s been all over the place this season but the minutes and opportunities are typically there for him. He definitely gets the shots to produce but his value is becoming tied to his scoring. The Pelicans depth isn’t great and they are on a back-to-back. Diagnosis: Inconsistent but a good ceiling.

Josh Okogie (at LAL – $4,400): Needs 20 fantasy points. Okogie was up to 35.75 fantasy points against the Suns on Jan. 22. His minutes have been all over the place but he’s in the starting lineup so he at least gets good run next to very good players to start the game. And there’s always a chance he plays big minutes, especially with the injuries to the Timberwolves. Diagnosis: Inconsistent but a good ceiling.
