High Value PG

Jordan Clarkson-Los Angeles Lakers (5,700): Clarkson has been a regular contributor for the Lakers scoring at least ten points in 15 straight games and averaging 16 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.1 steals in his 14 games this month.  He had 36 fantasy points on  Tuesday against Dallas scoring 18 points to go with seven assists and six rebounds.  He has at least 21 fantasy points in four of his last five games and is a solid option under 6K tonight against the Bulls who will likely have Derrick Rose (probable) but he may not be 100%.  Clarkson’s team has also been ravaged by injury and both Louis Williams and Kobe Bryant are questionable which could leave much of the offense to Clarkson if one or both of them are out. With Kobe and Williams-∗∗ Without Kobe and Williams-∗∗∗∗

Norris Cole-New Orleans Pelicans (5,100): With all the Pelicans injuries, Cole will likely get plenty of playing time tonight as well.  He played 35 minutes against Houston on Monday and had 17.8 fantasy points on ten points, four rebounds, and four assists.  He is an inconsistent option with plenty of upside (like his 32 fantasy points last Thursday against the Pistons), but he also has a tendency to disappear at times. ∗∗

Toney Douglas-New Orleans Pelicans (3,600): The third member of the Pelicans backcourt who could get a boost in value tonight is Toney Douglas who has played 24 and 25 minutes in his last two games with 29.25 and 36.25 fantasy points. He has looked pretty good the last two games, and if Evans is out he makes a good dice-roll at just 4K. No Evans-∗∗∗∗ With Evans-stay away.

Cory Joseph-Toronto Raptors (3,600): Joseph could be the best value not he board, though, if he gets the start in place of Kyle Lowry.  Lowry is questionable for tonight’s game against the Knicks with a wrist injury that forced him to miss practice yesterday.  If Lowry is out, Joseph would pick up a huge chunk of his playing time.  Joseph is coming off a pair of nice games with over 20 fantasy points in each contest after 12 points and three assists against the Clippers and ten points and six assists against the Wizards.  Joseph has shown he can be productive, and he could have a huge game if he moves into the starting unit. No Lowry-∗∗∗∗ With Lowry-∗
