High Value SG

Players costing $6,250 or under

Kelly Oubre Jr (at CLE – $5,800): Needs 26.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 37.75 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Aside from a slip up against the Kings, Oubre Jr has been great for the Suns since the trade. And “great” and “Suns” typically don’t go in the same sentence together. But that’s how good Oubre Jr has been for them. And now he gets the Cavaliers. It should be another strong night at the office for Oubre Jr. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

JJ Redick (vs MIA – $5,300): Needs 24.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 21.75 fantasy points against New York. Redick cooled off a bit prior to the break but don’t be too concerned. The shots are still there for him and he’s been good historically against the Heat. He had 31.75 fantasy points against them back on November and will continue to get plenty of opportunities. If nothing else, he’ll get you value. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Dwyane Wade (at PHI – $4,300): Needs 20.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27 fantasy points against Dallas. Wade has been good more often than not for the Heat prior to the break and now he’s at a great salary. This is a tough matchup but also the type of matchup Wade lives for. Expect him to come out strong in what will be the final second half of his career. I have no doubt about Wade on Thursday. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
