Here are theScore's small forward value rankings for Monday, January 4:
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Kawhi Leonard (SA) | at MIL | 10 |
| Paul George (IND) | at MIA | 9 |
| Gordon Hayward (UTA) | vs. HOU | 9 |
| Rudy Gay (SAC) | at OKC | 8 |
| Jae Crowder (BOS) | at BKN | 8 |
Leonard is the best cash game play at the position. He's less expensive and is almost guaranteed 20 points plus counting stats.
Best of the Rest
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| LeBron James (CLE) | vs. TOR | 7 |
| Omri Casspi (SAC) | at OKC | 6 |
| Trevor Ariza (HOU) | at UTA | 6 |
| Tobias Harris (ORL) | at DET | 6 |
| Jeff Green (MEM) | at POR | 6 |
| Andrew Wiggins (MIN) | at PHI | 6 |
| Giannis Antetokounmpo (MIL) | vs. SA | 5 |
| Nicolas Batum (CHA) | at GS | 5 |
| Marcus Morris (DET) | vs. ORL | 5 |
| Evan Fournier (ORL) | at DET | 5 |
James will cost you through the teeth, but he will put up big numbers most nights.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Andre Iguodala (GS) | vs. CHA | 4 |
| Bojan Bogdanovic (BKN) | vs. BOS | 4 |
| Al-Farouq Aminu (POR) | vs. MEM | 4 |
| DeMarre Carroll (TOR) | at CLE | 4 |
| Robert Covington (PHI) | vs. MIN | 4 |
| C.J. Miles (IND) | at MIA | 3 |
| Harrison Barnes (GS) | vs. CHA | 3 |
| Luol Deng (MIA) | vs. IND | 2 |
| Matt Barnes (MEM) | at POR | 2 |
| Stanley Johnson (DET) | vs. ORL | 2 |
Carroll remains on a minutes limit and his value suffers because of it.
