High Value SG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Delon Wright (at WAS – $5,300): Needs 22.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.1 fantasy points against Atlanta. Wright has been great for the Grizzlies in recent contests and now he gets the Wizards. The Grizzlies don’t score much but I have to trust him to score against this matchup. Both teams might be trying really hard to lose in order to better their draft position. But tanking is not a thing. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Jordan Clarkson (at DAL – $5,300): Needs 22.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 24.8 fantasy points against Orlando. Clarkson has settled into a nice spot and while he’s not showing a high ceiling thanks to the play of Sexton, this is a good matchup for him. He had 28.6 fantasy points against the Mavericks on Feb. 2. And he’s still a guy who gets plenty of minutes and opportunities. Trust him in this one. He’s reliable if nothing else. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Dennis Schroder (vs GS – $5,000): Needs 20.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 20.5 fantasy points against Indiana. Schroder has been all over the place this season but the minutes and opportunities are always there for him. And this is a matchup that seems to bring out the best in him. He’s averaging 45.8 fantasy points in two games against the Warriors this season. Thompson is the x-factor for the Warriors and Schroder is that same guy for the Thunder. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.
