Friday's Shooting Guard Value Rankings
Here are theScore's shooting guard value rankings for Friday's nine-game slate.
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Dwyane Wade (MIA) | at MIL | 8 |
| C.J. McCollum (POR) | vs. CHA | 8 |
| Khris Middleton (MIL) | vs. MIA | 8 |
| James Harden (HOU) | at OKC | 8 |
| Langston Galloway (NY) | vs. PHX | 8 |
When healthy, Wade can still string together big performances - he's averaging 25.6 points, 5.6 assists and 4.6 rebounds over his last three games.
If Carmelo Anthony (knee) and Jose Calderon (groin) sit out again Friday, Galloway will continue to have an expanded offensive role.
Best of the Rest
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Dion Waiters (OKC) | vs. HOU | 7 |
| Rodney Hood (UTA) | vs. MIN | 7 |
| J.R. Smith (CLE) | at DET | 7 |
| Jamal Crawford (LAC) | vs. LAL | 6 |
| Andrew Wiggins (MIN) | at UTA | 6 |
| Avery Bradley (BOS) | vs. ORL | 6 |
| Archie Goodwin (PHX) | at NY | 6 |
| Raymond Felton (DAL) | vs. BKN | 6 |
| Austin Rivers (LAC) | vs. LAL | 6 |
| Sonny Weems (PHX) | at NY | 6 |
| Arron Afflalo (NY) | vs. PHX | 6 |
| Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (DET) | vs. CLE | 6 |
Hood has at least 23 points in three of his last four games, while also contributing solidly in the secondary categories.
Weems can return modest value on his minimum price - he's averaging 11 points, two rebounds and an assist in his last two games. He's seemingly assured of a role as long as Brandon Knight (groin) remains out.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Bojan Bogdanovic (BKN) | at DAL | 5 |
| Victor Oladipo (ORL) | at BOS | 5 |
| Kobe Bryant (LAL) | at LAC | 4 |
Bryant is a risk to sit out on the second night of a back-to-back.
