Wednesday's Shooting Guard Value Rankings
Here are theScore's shooting guard value rankings for Wednesday's 10-game slate:
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| DeMar DeRozan (TOR) | vs. MIN | 10 |
| E'Twaun Moore (CHI) | vs. WAS | 9 |
| Klay Thompson (GS) | at MIA | 8 |
| J.J. Redick (LAC) | vs. DEN | 8 |
| Langston Galloway (NY) | at IND | 8 |
DeRozan dropped 35 points against the Timberwolves immediately before the All-Star break. He's scored at least 21 points in each of three games since the break. Moore came into his own in his new starting role last time out, scoring 24 points with four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal. He went 4-for-4 from 3-point range.
Galloway is expected to replace PG Jose Calderon in Wednesday's starting lineup. He'll easily return value at his current cost in an expanded role.
Best of the Rest
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Andrew Wiggins (MIN) | at TOR | 7 |
| Danny Green (SA) | at SAC | 7 |
| Wesley Matthews (DAL) | vs. OKC | 7 |
| Lou Williams (LAL) | at MEM | 7 |
| Zach LaVine (MIN) | at TOR | 7 |
Wiggins had 26 points in that recent game against Toronto. While Wednesday will technically be a road game for the 'Wolves, it's a homecoming for Wiggins. Green went 4-for-5 from the field in his most recent game. While owners would like to see him shoot more, he did contribute seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals.
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Raymond Felton (DAL) | vs. OKC | 6 |
| Monta Ellis (IND) | vs. NY | 6 |
| Gary Harris (DEN) | at LAC | 6 |
| Marco Belinelli (SAC) | vs. SA | 5 |
| Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (DET) | vs. PHI | 5 |
Felton has a minimum of four rebounds in each of his past four games. He has scored in double digits in three of his past four. Prior to Monday's lackluster performance, Ellis had scored 48 points in two games, and the scoring should return against the lowly Knicks.
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Will Barton (DEN) | at LAC | 4 |
| Arron Afflalo (NY) | at IND | 4 |
| Bradley Beal (WAS) | at CHI | 4 |
| Courtney Lee (CHA) | at CLE | 4 |
| Jamal Crawford (LAC) | vs. DEN | 4 |
Barton had a high of 20 and a low of 10 points in his past three games. He's attempted at least 12 field goals in each outing, but he's gone just 2-for-10 in his past two games from three-point range.
Lee struggled in his Hornets' debut, but he should capitalize on a low price as he gets more accustomed to his new role.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Terrence Ross (TOR) | vs. MIN | 3 |
| Kobe Bryant (LAL) | at MEM | 3 |
| Nicolas Batum (CHA) | at CLE | 3 |
| Dwyane Wade (MIA) | vs. GS | 2 |
| J.R. Smith (CLE) | vs. CHA | 1 |
Smith will always be an option in GPPs, but he's been struggling with his shot of late and should be avoided in all cash games. Wade and Batum should be avoided due to their matchups.
