High Value SG

Players costing $6,250 or under

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (vs POR – $5,900): Needs 27.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 50 fantasy points against Utah. KCP can be all over the place but he’s been playing great as of late and the minutes and opportunities are obviously going to be there for him. The Blazers defense isn’t great and even though the Lakers offense is nothing to write home about, I still like KCP to keep up his hot streak and finish strong in this game. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Jeremy Lamb (at CLE – $5,700): Needs 26.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33.5 fantasy points against Detroit. Once again, the Hornets have plenty to play for and Lamb has been playing well for them as of late. And it’s the Cavaliers. Lamb is a guy who can step up in this position and I fully expect him to deliver once again. He’s averaging 37.8 fantasy points in three games against the Cavaliers this season. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Mikal Bridges (at DAL – $4,700): Needs 21.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31 fantasy points against Houston. I love this matchup as the offense should be there for both teams as neither team has a reason to care about defense, so they will let the offense flow. And with Booker out of the lineup, there are more numbers to go around for the Suns. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
