Saturday's Shooting Guard Value Rankings
Here are theScore's shooting guard value rankings for Saturday's six-game slate.
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Avery Bradley (BOS) | at ATL | 8 |
| Evan Turner (BOS) | at ATL | 8 |
| Andrew Wiggins (MIN) | at POR | 7 |
The Boston wing duo gets the nod as top options, with Bradley being slightly cheaper on some sites. While Bradley is typically the more reliable scorer of the two, with Turner proving his worth through secondary contributions, Bradley has had at least five combined rebounds, assists and steals in each of his last four games, while scoring between 13 and 20 points every time.
While he took a step back with just 12 field goal attempts Thursday against Sacramento, Wiggins had attempted between 19 and 21 in each of the three previous contests, while playing between 37 and 42 minutes.
Mid-Tier Targets
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| James Ennis (NO) | vs. PHX | 7 |
| C.J. McCollum (POR) | vs. MIN | 7 |
| Jimmy Butler (CHI) | vs. CLE | 7 |
Ennis will likely produce a modest stat line, but he's starting and playing around 30 minutes per game at an inexpensive price.
Butler may singlehandedly try and will Chicago to the playoffs, but hasn't been overly productive in two games against Cleveland, averaging 18.5 points and seven rebounds.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Devin Booker (PHX) | at NO | 5 |
| Klay Thompson (GS) | at MEM | 5 |
| Zach LaVine (MIN) | at POR | 4 |
Booker and Thompson can catch fire, but are too highly-priced and don't always provide ample secondary contributions to make up for when they aren't burying 3-pointers.
LaVine is like a cheaper version of Booker and Thompson - if he's not pouring in points, he won't provide a viable fantasy return.
