High Value PG

Darren Collison-Sacramento Kings (5,600): Collison came off the bench for the Kings on Monday against the Bulls since they wanted to match James Anderson up with Jimmy Butler instead of the smaller Collison.  However, Collison still played 32 minutes and had a solid 28.8 fantasy points on 19 points four rebounds and four assists.  He has at least 25 fantasy points in seven of his last eight games and has been a solid source of points and assists for most of the year whether starting or coming off the bench.  I like his matchup tonight against Minnesota in what should be a high-scoring game, and he could shoulder some extra offensive load if DeMarcus Cousins is unable to give it a go (questionable). With Boogie-∗∗∗ No Boogie-∗∗∗∗

D.J. Augustin-Denver Nuggets (4,600): Augustin is another option coming off the bench with good production lately having found a nice fit in Denver after being moved at the deadline. Augustin had a little bit of a down game against Cleveland finishing with just 18.9 fantasy points on eight points and five assists.  he had three straight games with over 28 fantasy points before that  and had scored in double-digits in eight of his previous nine games. Augustin will look to return to that level of production tonight and should be in a place to get plenty of run as the Nuggets take on the always-struggling 76ers.∗∗

Raymond Felton-Dallas Mavericks (4,200): Felton should get more playing time with the Mavs small-ball lineup now that Chandler Parsons is out for the season (or at least a while). Felton has shown he can produce when given the time and has at least 28 fantasy points in the two his last four games when he has gotten extended run.  Since the Blazers like to go small too, expect Felton to log plenty of court time tonight, and he should be able to contribute in multiple categories like he was earlier in the season. ∗∗∗

Jerian Grant-New York Knicks (3,600): If you have to take a flier at PG, the player who I’d give a look to is Jerian Grant of the Knicks who is earning more time while Jose Calderon nurses multiple injuries and coach Kurt Rambis tries to get more time for his young players. Grant played 27 minutes on Sunday against the Kings and had 14 points with two steals and two assists for 21.2 fantasy points. He has at least 18 fantasy points in four of his last seven games and has looked good when given 19+ minutes.  He unfortunately is still risky since there are games where he plays very little like on Saturday when he only managed three minutes. He’s high-risk, but he has the best upside of any player under 4K at PG tonight. ∗
