High Value Guards

Players costing under $12,000

Gary Harris (at SA – $10,500): Needs 45.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 21.9 fantasy points against San Antonio. Harris has been consistent throughout the series and even though he’s been down in the last two, I like him to step up in this game. He’s worth making one of your top players because he’s going to deliver numbers and can get the boost depending on where you slot him. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Monte Morris (at SA – $9,000): Needs 38.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 22.3 fantasy points against San Antonio. Morris gets the minutes and opportunities, which certainly helps. He’s a player I like but I actually like Craig a bit more in this game. Call it a gut feeling. But Morris is a good utility option who will get you some decent points. Diagnosis: Reliable with a decent ceiling.

Torrey Craig (at SA – $9,000): Needs 38.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 15 fantasy points against San Antonio. As mentioned above, I like Craig in this game. He was down in Game 5 but I just have a good feeling about him in this one. I like his moxie and think he’ll end up coming up with a strong effort in this game. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
