Austin Rivers, SG/SF ($3,400) - Rivers might not be exciting, but he is a starting guard playing at least 31 minutes per night over the past three games. In that stretch, Rivers is averaging nine points and three assists per game but his shot volume does provide him with some more upside. Over the past three games, Rivers has taken an average of nine shots per game with seven of those coming from behind the arc. Rivers has only made three of his last 15 three-point attempts so there is a lot of production currently left on the table, but even at this level, we are close to a 5x return. With a few more made three-pointers, Rivers could easily surpass that tonight given his cost.
Kyle Guy, PG MIA ($4,100) – You know the drill by now. When you see a shorthanded team, pounce. It doesn’t matter that Miami just signed Guy to a hardship contract a few days ago and he’s only played two games for the Heat. In each of those games, Guy has played 24 minutes and taken eight shots from the field while handing out four assists, so in a small sample size, we have consistency in our favor. The main difference is that Guy scored 17 points in his debut with Miami and then dropped down to seven points last night as he missed both of three-point attempts after going four for six on Friday. If Guy makes a few three-pointers tonight, we could be looking at a 7x or 8x night.

Tim Frazier, PG ORL ($3,900) - Frazier is now on his second 10-day contract with Orlando, and he is coming off a season high 39 minutes of playing time last night. For the second straight game Frazier scored in double figures (14 points which followed a 13 point effort) and while his overall stat line isn't going to stand out (he added five rebounds and three assists), there was plenty of time for him on the court to produce. The end result was 25 FD points, and that is a return that I can get behind as it doesn't appear that his playing time is going anywhere.
KJ Martin, PF/C HOU ($4,900) – Martin helps us to save money at the center position, if so desired, tonight but regardless we are in position to take advantage of Alperen Sengun being out for the next week or so. When given the chance this season, Martin has produced to the tune of a 5x-6x return at minimum. On Sunday, Martin scored 15 points and grabbed seven rebounds in 31 minutes of action and he should see a similar workload tonight; even if it is off the bench.

Terrence Ross, SF ORL ($13) – Talk about a return. After missing seven games, Ross came back in a big way last night against Chicago scoring 33 points while grabbing five rebounds. Granted Ross’s last two games came over two weeks apart, but he broke the 40-fantasy point mark in each of them. To say that Ross picked up where he left off offensively would be an understatement, and with Orlando still missing key backcourt pieces, the forward will continue to be busy.
Terrance Mann, SF LAC ($14) – As the Clippers continue to deal with injuries, Mann will keep on playing around 35 minutes a night. Mann has reached double figures in seven of his last eight games and he is averaging 18 points over his last three games. The forward should continue to get heavy playing time with Paul George still out for the Clippers, and the offensive volume doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon either.
