JR Smith has been playing above average basketball recently but he still has very little fantasy value.
Analysis: JR Smith is averaging 15.8 points and 2.4 threes made over his last five games. Aside from those stats he hasn’t done much other than continuing to play in a big media market. Thus far this season Smith is shooting 36% from the field, 61% from the line and 35% from three. He is the 66th rated fantasy shooting guard this year and the 37th best over the last two weeks. It’s amazing he is doing all this playing 32 minutes per game and only missing a handful of games this season.
Currently, JR Smith is available in 20-30% of fantasy leagues. If you need some shooting guard help you may want to consider Jodie Meeks. Meeks is shooting better from three and averaging 38 minutes per night in the month of January. Meeks is available in 15-30% of leagues. Kyle Korver is also available in some leagues and he is shooting a significantly better percentage than Smith from the field, the line and from three. Korver is also outperforming Smith in blocks and steals and is even with Smith in rebounds and assists.
