High Value PG

Dennis Schroder-Atlanta Hawks (5,000): Schroder is out of the dog house in Atlanta and has been playing well since being left out of the rotation entirely for the last game of 2015 and the first game of 2016.  Schroder has at least 20 fantasy points in each of his four games since then including two games with over 31 fantasy points. He has at least six assists and four rebounds in each of those contests, and when he scores in double-digits he is a very viable fantasy option. With Jeff Teague struggling a little and dealing with an ankle injury, Schroder could be set up for more minutes if he continues to produce such nice numbers.  Right now, his limited playing time does cap his upside, though. ∗∗

Ramon Sessions-Washington Wizards (4,300): Sessions continued to produce solid numbers even with Brad Beal’s limited return  on Wednesday.  Sessions had 15 points and five assists giving him 23.75 fantasy points.  He has at least 22 fantasy points in seven of his last ten games, and he’s a solid cheap option in what should be high-scoring, run-and-gun game in Indy.

Norris Cole-New Orleans Pelicans(4,200): Cole burnt me badly last time I was high on him, but with Tyreke Evans dealing with knee issues again, Cole deserves a look since he’ll pick up a bunch of usage if Tyreke is ruled out.  On Wednesday, Cole had 24 fantasy points on 18 points, two boards, and two assists after filling in for the departed Evans with 26 minutes.  He has at least 23 fantasy points in five of his last eight games, but has played a very limited role in the other games during that stretch.  Cole is high-risk if Evans plays, but if Evans is ruled out prior to tonight’s game, Cole will be one of the best sleepers at any position tonight.
