High Value PG

Tony Parker-San Antonio Spurs (4,800): Parker say out Tuesday’s game against the Timberwolves but returned on Thursday with a  monster game against the Bulls scoring 20 points to go with 12 assists for an impressive 45.5 fantasy points. Tonight, he takes on Russell Westbrook and the Thunder who gave up a huge night last night to Ricky Rubio and have allowed the third-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PG so far this season.  Parker is a little risky since his minutes and role in the offense fluctuate from night-to-night but he reminded everyone just how good he can be at his best on Thursday making him my favorite option in the under 5K for tonight. ∗∗∗∗

Jerryd Bayless-Milwaukee Bucks (4,500): Bayless played 40 minutes against Miami on Wednesday starting in place of O.J. Mayo and Michael Carter-Williams at the point.  He only managed six points and 13.5 fantasy points against the stifling Miami defense that almost always limits opposing PG.  It wasn’t a good matchup, but it does show how much potential he has if he keeps logging such heavy minutes the rest of the season. Tonight, he is in a much better matchup against the Pelicans who have been drained by injury in the backcourt.  Look for Bayless to be a solid value option tonight as he continues to play plenty of minutes for coach Jason Kidd and run the point for a pretty dynamic Milwaukee offense in a good matchup tonight. ∗∗∗∗

Toney Douglas-New Orleans Pelicans (3,700): Douglas got his first start of the season last night and played 42 minutes against Memphis finishing with 12 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and a solid 33.25 fantasy points. If Norris Cole is out again tonight, Douglas is a good cheap play since he has played over 35 minutes in each of his last two games and compiled over 25 fantasy points. No Norris-∗∗∗∗∗ With Cole-∗

Briante Weber-Memphis Grizzlies (?????): Still no Weber on DraftKings as of noon time. He had over 25 fantasy points in his first game in the NBA starting last night for the Grizzlies who will be without Mike Conley and Mario Chalmers again tonight as they take on the Hawks.  If DraftKings adds him, he’ll be an interesting sleeper at the right price, but it’s impossible to rank him or utilize him until they get him added to the system.
