Top Five Hottest Fantasy Small Forwards
1) LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers
James started the year off fantastically. Then he got hurt and was relatively quiet for a while. However, now James is back healthy and is dominating the NBA once again. The Cavaliers are playing better, which should also help James put up even better stats. He should be a top five fantasy player from here on out.
2) Danny Granger, Indiana Pacers
Granger is on fire for the Pacers. He’s putting up a lot of points, rebounds, steals, three-pointers and his shooting percentages are great. He had a slump earlier in the season but that slump is now forgotten. Granger is now arguably the go-to player for the Pacers and still has plenty of upside.
3) Andrei Kirilenko, Utah Jazz
Kirilenko has bounced back from a scary back injury to post very nice numbers. Although his scoring numbers aren’t outstanding, he has a nice all-around game including high shooting percentages and low turnovers. Kirilenko is a guy who can help anyone’s fantasy team.
4) Gerald Wallace, Charlotte Bobcats
Wallace is a true small forward but the Bobcats have been playing him at power forward. At his new position Wallace has been putting up stellar numbers. He’s played well posting up smaller defenders or blowing by larger defenders. Wallace is once again among the fantasy elite.
5) Caron Butler, Washington Wizards
Butler and the Wizards have been a bit cold lately but there aren’t many reasons to worry about Butler. He has emerged as a fantasy superstar this year. Once Gilbert Arenas returns from injury, Butler should still remain a huge part of the team. Butler is truly one of the hidden gems in the NBA.
