High Value PG

Marcus Smart-Boston Celtics (5,500): Given the Nuggets struggles to defend the point outlined in my Isaiah Thomas pick, I also like Marcus Smart to have a solid game as he continues to serve as the Celtics sixth man.  He has at least 30 fantasy points in each of his last two games and in four of his last seven.  On Monday in Washington he finished with a well-balanced 13 points, six rebounds, five assists, and two steals.  He’ll need to continue to produce across the board since his scoring can sometimes still be inconsistent.  However, since he has played at least 29 minutes in four of the C’s last five games, I like him as a solid value play even though he’s coming off the bench. ∗∗∗

Trey Burke-Utah Jazz (4,700): In good news for Burke owners or potential owners,  he should get a heavy dose of minutes tonight against the Hornets since Raul Neto has been ruled out with a concussion.  In bad news, Burke is coming off a rough game when he failed to score a single point missing all eight shots against Detroit finishing with zero points and six assists for just nine fantasy points. He will get the opportunity, but he’s still high risk since he is coming off a complete dud.∗

Archie Goodwin-Phoenix Suns (4,100): Goodwin is a great play again tonight since he continues to be the starting PG for the injury-riddled Suns.  Last night, he had 26 points to go with six rebounds, six assists, and two steals for a huge 42.2 fantasy points against the Sixers.  He played only 29 minutes so fatigue shouldn’t be too much of a factor tonight as the Suns take on the Cavs.  Goodwin has at least 20 points in three straight games and has finished with 26.6 fantasy points, 35.2 fantasy points, and 42.4 fantasy points all of which are awesome returns at his price just over 4K. ∗∗∗∗∗

J.J. Barea-Dallas Mavericks (3,500): Barea is a high-risk play whose playing time has faded as of late, but he had a good game last night against the Lakers playing 28 minutes and posting 18 points to go with four assists and four rebounds.  It was Barea’s shooting that helped power the Mavs to their win over Golden State at the end of December as he shot 9-12 from the field and 5-6 from long range on his way to 23 points, six assists, three rebounds, and a steal.  Remember, though, Barea was starting then and Stephen Curry wasn’t. Barea will almost certainly come off the bench tonight, but he still should get some extra playing time against the Warriors small-ball lineups and be a high-risk, high-reward play tonight. ∗∗
