High Value SG

Players costing $6,250 or under

Evan Fournier (vs DAL – $5,700): Needs 26.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34 fantasy points against Philadelphia. Fournier has been up-and-down as of late and even though he’s coming off an up game, I like him to break the trend in this one due to the matchup. The Mavericks are not playing for anything and aren’t even playing that well. Fournier can do a bit of everything and should be is for a good night. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Dion Waiters (vs CLE – $4,800): Needs 22.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 19.5 fantasy points against Charlotte. Waiters is playing less in recent games but his salary has dropped and I love him against the Cavaliers because I know there’s still some resentment there. If you want to spend more, Wade is an option and probably a more reliable one. But Waiters will bounce back. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Gary Harris (at GS – $4,000): Needs 18.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.5 fantasy points against LA Lakers. Is Harris back? I don’t know. But I know he’s back in the starting lineup and playing more minutes because he’s one of their best players. And. I know the Warriors defense is abysmal right now, which should help Harris as well. Trust that he’s back to something, at least at this salary. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
