Here are theScore's shooting guard value rankings for Wednesday, January 27:
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Klay Thompson (GS) | vs. DAL | 9 |
| Evan Turner (BOS) | vs. DEN | 9 |
| Rodney Hood (UTA) | vs. CHA | 9 |
| Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (DET) | vs. PHI | 8 |
| Archie Goodwin (PHX) | PHX | 8 |
Thompson's game-script shortened night on Monday caused his price to drop yet again on a variety of DFS sites. He enters another favorable matchup against the struggling Mavericks, and a slightly more efficient night would allow him to return value.
Turner is the most affordable of Boston's collection of guards, and he's scored in the double-digits in four consecutive games, all while maintaining his consistent production in the rebound and assist categories.
Goodwin's price is rapidly rising, but he maintains the ability to return value while in a starting role.
Best of the Rest
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Andrew Wiggins (MIN) | vs. OKC | 7 |
| James Harden (HOU) | at SA | 7 |
| Dion Waiters (OKC) | at MIN | 7 |
| Will Barton (DEN) | at BOS | 6 |
| Devin Booker (PHX) | at CLE | 6 |
| Avery Bradley (BOS) | vs. DEN | 6 |
| Gary Harris (DEN) | at BOS | 6 |
While Wiggins went 7-for-14 from the field Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, he grabbed just one rebound and dished out a single assist. His secondary and tertiary production has been inconsistent, but he'll need to take a high volume of shots Wednesday in order to keep pace with the Thunder.
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Raymond Felton (DAL) | at GS | 5 |
| Iman Shumpert (CLE) | vs. PHX | 5 |
| Jamal Crawford (LAC) | at ATL | 5 |
| J.J. Redick (LAC) | at ATL | 5 |
| Danny Green (SA) | vs. HOU | 4 |
| Nik Stauskas (PHI) | at DET | 4 |
| Joe Ingles (UTA) | vs. CHA | 4 |
Redick and Crawford have become one in the same, requiring a hot stroke to return value, as they can't be trusted for much production in any other statistical area.
Felton played 34 minutes on Sunday, posting 16 points, eight rebounds and two assists. He should maintain a full workload whenever healthy.
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| J.R. Smith (CLE) | vs. PHX | 3 |
| Manu Ginobili (SA) | vs. HOU | 3 |
| Kyle Korver (ATL) | vs. LAC | 3 |
| Wesley Matthews (DAL) | at GS | 2 |
While Smith and Ginobili have favorable matchups, neither player has a guaranteed workload. Korver and Matthews are far too expensive for the production that can be expected from them in more difficult matchups.
