High Value PG

Shaun Livingston-Golden State Warriors (4,100): Livingston leads the way of three solid ultra-cheap PG plays on DraftKings tonight. He played well while starting for Steph Curry in Game 2 against the Rockets. He finished with 16 points, six assists, two rebounds, and two steals in his 29 minutes for a solid 30.5 fantasy points. Since it doesn’t look like Curry will play again tonight, Livingston will have increased responsibility for the Warriors although they do spread around the workload fairly efficiently with their impressive depth. ∗∗∗∗

Cory Joseph-Toronto Raptors (3,300): While Livingston will get most of the attention as a cheap PG play, don’t overlook Cory Joseph who has also been productive from this affordable price point so far in the playoffs. Joseph had 18 points and 27.75 fantasy points in Game 1 against Indiana and followed that with 16 points and 23.25 fantasy points in Game 2. He plays 20+ minutes off the bench almost every night for coach Dwane Casey and is very involved in the Raptors small-ball unit as well as leading their second team coming off the bench. He doesn’t have the upside of Livingston, but if you want a contrarian play that could pay off if Livingston stumbles or Curry plays give CoJo a look. ∗∗∗

Devin Harris-Dallas Mavericks (3,300): With all the injuries in the Dallas backcourt, Harris was pressed into action on Monday playing 26 minutes off the bench and coming up large with 23.75 fantasy points on eight points, seven rebounds, two assists, and two steals. With Barea doubtful tonight and Deron Williams questionable, Harris should get enough time again tonight to make an impact off the bench. ∗∗
