High Value SG

Players costing $6,250 or under

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (at OKC – $5,400): Needs 24.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 21.75 fantasy points against New Orleans. KCP can be up-and-down but he’s coming off a down game so if the trend continues, he should be back up in this game. He’s certainly got the right matchup as the Thunder are a mess right now and will definitely play down to their competition. KCP will get the minutes and opportunities, which counts for something, especially against this OKC team. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Bogdan Bogdanovic (vs HOU – $5,300): Needs 24.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.75 fantasy points against San Antonio. Bogdanovic continues to play well for the Kings and he’s coming off a big game against the Rockets on Mar. 30 when he had 49.25 fantasy points. The minutes should continue to be there for him and I like the matchup as the Rockets defense still doesn’t scare me. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Bryn Forbes (vs ATL – $4,600): Needs 21.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 24.25 fantasy points against Sacramento. Forbes is getting more minutes than White at the moment and is the more reliable option, but I like White’s ceiling a bit more. Both guys are at such a good salary though that you can pair them and at least get value out of the duo with a strong chance that one of them hits in a big way. Trust this matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling
