High Value PG

Toney Douglas-New Orleans Pelicans (5,800): Douglas and the Pelicans host the Bulls tonight who are playing for the first time since being eliminated from playoff contention. Chicago has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points this season to opposing PG, so Douglas should continue to produce nice lines as the starting point for the Pelicans.  He has at least 33 fantasy points in three straight contests and has scored at least 19 points in each of those outings.  At under 6K, he’s a solid play tonight since he continues to start and get good minutes. ∗∗∗∗

Patrick Beverley-Houston Rockets (5,000): The Rockets are one of my favorite stacks tonight since they have everything to play for and are in a good matchup against the defensively-challenged Timberwolves in Minnesota.  Beverley has been doing his part to help the Rockets stay in the playoff hunt with at least 29 fantasy points in four of his last six games including yesterday when he totaled 39.25 fantasy points against the Lakers on 19 points, seven boards, six assists, and a steal. He’ll be a good play again tonight even though the matchup isn’t quite as good as he faces Ricky Rubio and the Wolves. ∗∗∗∗

Ramon Sessions-Washington Wizards (4,600): With John Wall resting his knee but not officially ruled out yet and Breadley Beal severely limited as well, the Wizards have been giving plenty of playing time to Ramon Sessions.  Sessions has been excellent filling in for Wall including a 18-point, 13-assists double-double that resulted in 43.25 fantasy points against the Nets who he’ll face again tonight.  He had a double-double yesterday afternoon against the Hornets totaling 41.25 fantasy points, and he’ll be in a great place to produce if he gets another start tonight. If starting-∗∗∗∗∗ If not-∗∗∗

Shane Larkin-Brooklyn Nets (4,400): Minutes are no problem for Shane Larkin anymore since he has moved into the starting lineup for the Nets.  He has averaged 9.7 points, 6.8 assists, 1.7 steals, and 3.7 rebounds in last ten games while playing 30.6 minutes per contest. He has at least 27 fantasy points in three of his last five games and totaled 34.5 fantasy points against the Pacers yesterday on 15 points, eight assists, and four rebounds. ∗∗∗

Seth Curry-Sacramento Kings (4,300): Curry is playing well for the Kings coming down the stretch getting a good helping of minutes since many of the Kings’ wings are dealing with injuries.  Curry scored 20 points on Saturday against the Thunder with enough non-scoring numbers to get to 29.5 fantasy points. He has at least 24 fantasy points in four of his last five, and he will continue to get plenty of run in a great matchup tonight against the Suns. ∗∗∗

Archie Goodwin-Phoenix Suns (3,500): Goodwin has slid in as PG for the Suns even though his skill set is better served at SG. He’s been effective in his last two games, though, with 31.5 fantasy points against the Rockets and 31.1 fantasy points against the Pelicans. He should continue to get playing time 34.25 if he keeps scoring since the Suns are so desperate for offense. ∗∗∗∗∗
