High Value SG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Malcolm Brogdon (vs ORL – $6,300): Needs 27.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.7 fantasy points against Dallas. I continue to love the Bucks and the Bucks continue to love me. You can always get value out of these guys because they do a bit of everything and have a high-powered offense. The matchup is a good one as well. And if Middleton is out again, the opportunities for Brogdon only go up. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Terrence Ross (at MIL – $5,700): Needs 24.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38.5 fantasy points against Minnesota. Ross continues to shoot hot from the field and until I see signs of slipping or until the Magic play the Nets again, I will continue to take him with confidence. The Bucks are a tough matchup but they are on a back-to-back and the Magic are a scrappy bunch who can make these games competitive. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Iman Shumpert (vs OKC – $4,500): Needs 19.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.2 fantasy points against San Antonio. You’ve got to trust me on this one. No one kills the Thunder like Iman Shumpert kills the Thunder. He’s averaging 43.6 fantasy points in two games against OKC this season. They never have an answer for him and he’ll get some good looks in Houston’s system. I love Shumpert in this game because I always love him against OKC. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
