Here are theScore's small forward value rankings for Thursday, November 19:
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Giannis Antetokounmpo (MIL) | at CLE | 9 |
| LeBron James (CLE) | vs. MIL | 9 |
Antetokounmpo hasn't been elite in any one category, but he's been a consistent statistical contributor across the board. James has scored a minimum of 30 points in four consecutive games, with highs of 12 rebounds and eight assists in that span. He has also gone 9-for-18 from 3-point range in his past two games.
Best of the Rest
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Rudy Gay (SAC) | at MIA | 7 |
| Justise Winslow (MIA) | vs. SAC | 6 |
Gay is coming off a season-high 27-point performance in his last game. His point and assist averages are down from their career marks, but his rebounding is slightly up. Winslow has played 30-plus minutes in five of six games, and he's been easily exceeding a modest price tag.
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Harrison Barnes (GS) | at LAC | 4 |
| Luol Deng (MIA) | vs. SAC | 2 |
Barnes and Deng both represent inconsistency and low ceilings. Both players have scored 20-plus points just once this season. On a light slate, both come in as mid-tier players, but it'll be best to pay up or look for deeper value.
