Here are theScore's shooting guard value rankings for Saturday, November 14:
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| James Harden (HOU) | vs. DAL | 9 |
| Eric Bledsoe (PHX) | vs. DEN | 8 |
| Marcus Thornton (HOU) | vs. DAL | 8 |
| Bradley Beal (WAS) | vs. ORL | 7 |
Harden's peak is higher than Bledsoe's but both get tantalizing matchups. Bledsoe will take on the young backcourt of Emmanuel Mudiay and Will Barton in Denver but at least the Nuggets have youth on their side. Dallas will feature a combination of Deron Williams, J.J. Barea and Devin Harris in the backcourt - a true turnstile defense. Advantage: Harden.
The Best of the Rest
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Wes Matthews (DAL) | at HOU | 6 |
| Klay Thompson (GSW) | vs. BKN | 6 |
| Khris Middleton (MIL) | vs. CLE | 5 |
| Will Barton (DEN) | at PHX | 5 |
| Danny Green (SA) | vs. PHI | 5 |
| Hollis Thompson (PHI) | at PHI | 5 |
| J.R. Smith (CLE) | at MIL | 4 |
Of this group, Matthews and Thompson have the highest upside, but both are far from sure things. Thompson struggles defers scoring duties to Steph Curry when his shot is falling while Matthews has dealt with injury concerns all season. For their price, both are worthy of consideration as medium-risk, high-reward players.
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Nik Stauskas (PHI) | at SA | 4 |
| Mario Hezonja (ORL) | at WAS | 4 |
| Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (BKN) | at GSW | 3 |
| Manu Ginobili (SA) | vs. PHI | 1 |
Ginobili is the biggest name on this list but is listed as questionable Saturday with a hip injury. The other three names are all first or second-year players who have struggled to find their rhythm on offense this season. Look elsewhere.
