High Value SG

Players costing $6,250 or under

Terry Rozier (at NY – $5,500): Needs 25.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.75 fantasy points against Charlotte. Rozier will head back to the bench with Kyrie returning and he has not been a good DFS player coming off the bench. But there’s a big factor working in his favor in this one. He gets to play the Knicks. The Celtics could easily turn this game into a blowout and Rozier might play a big part in that with his play off the bench. He’s a slight risk at this salary but there are positive signs. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a decent ceiling.

Joe Ingles (vs ATL – $5,300): Needs 24.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 26 fantasy points against Portland. Ingles has settled into a nice salary and has been around this value for a handful of games now. As mentioned on the previous slide, the pace will be high in this game leading to more opportunities for Ingles. I like this matchup and he’s reliable if nothing else. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a decent ceiling.

Damyean Dotson (vs BOS – $3,700): Needs 16.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 9.5 fantasy points against Dallas. Again, all about the circumstances. With the Knicks missing guards, Dotson is likely to see an increase in minutes and opportunities. It’s possible that this doesn’t happen. Basically, check the Knicks starting lineup. And grab their starting guards because they are going to see big minutes and chances. Diagnosis: If he starts, take him with confidence. If he doesn’t start, get the guy who does.
