High Value PG

Darren Collison-Sacramento Kings (5,400): Collison will need to step up for Sacramento as they travel to Denver tonight since DeMarcus Cousins and Rajon Rondo are both expected to be unavailable.  Last night, Collison was on fire from the field going 8-13 and sinking all nine of his free throws on his way to 26 points and 31 fantasy points. Tonight, he’ll probably pick up his assist production since he’ll be running the point, and he has really nice upside in a good matchup against the Nuggets. Collison has proven he can be very productive when starting in place of Rondo, and he should be able to reach 28 fantasy points for the fifth straight contest tonight. ∗∗∗∗∗

D.J. Augustin-Denver Nuggets (4,600): On the other side of the Kings-Nuggets matchup, Augustin is a nice cheap play as he continues to get plenty of minutes and production off the bench for Denver.  Augustin has at least 23 fantasy points in three of his last five games and six of his last ten.  He is averaging 12.7 points, 5.2 assists, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in his 23 games since the All Star break, and he has proven to be a great trade deadline acquisition for the Nuggets.  Tonight, his production depends on how Emmanuel Mudiay performs since he shares time at PG with the somewhat-inconsistent rookie.∗∗

Seth Curry-Sacramento Kings (3,200): Seth Curry has stepped up for the Kings coming down the stretch and seems to have solidified himself as the starting SG for the rest of the season.  He has at least 12 points in four of his last five games after scoring 21 against the Heat last night.  He had 33.5 fantasy points in that contest and should continue to get plenty of looks in the Sacramento offense tonight with Cousins and Rondo both expected to sit tonight’s game in Denver out. Curry has at least 21 fantasy points in four of his last five games and is a great value play tonight. ∗∗∗∗
