High Value PG

Emmanuel Mudiay-Denver Nuggets (6,000): Like Russell, Mudiay is putting together a nice finish to his first season in the NBA and has posted good numbers in his four games in March.  He has at least 29.9 fantasy points in those four contests and is averaging 19.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.8 assists, and 1.0 steals.  He is still shooting an unimpressive 41%, but he is getting plenty of playing time and becoming the focal point of the Nuggets attack.  He is in a good matchup tonight against the Suns who allow the second-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PG and may just be working Brandon Knight back into the rotation, so look for another strong game from Mudiay. ∗∗∗∗

D.J. Augustin-Denver Nuggets (4,000): Augustin will also get enough playing time to likely take advantage of the Nuggets great matchup against the Phoenix backcourt.  He has played at least 20 minutes in five of his last six gams and has scored at least ten points in all six of those contests. Augustin has at least 18 fantasy points in five of those six games and had a high-water mark of 37.9 fantasy points when the Nuggets played the Lakers.  If Augustin gets his 20+ minutes tonight, he should be the best cheap play at PG. ∗∗
