High Value PG

Jeremy Lin-Charlotte Hornets (5,100): With Nicolas Batum possibly out for the series, Jeremy Lin stepped up for Charlotte in Game 3 even though he was still coming off the bench.  Lin scored 18 points in his 26 minutes while adding four assists and four rebounds to get to 32 fantasy points. He has stepped up throughout the season when called upon to fill in for Batum, and I think he’ll continue his strong production tonight. Charlotte needs him to spark their offense if they want to beat the Heat and level their series 2-2 before heading back to South Beach. There is a chance Batum plays tonight, but I think Lin will get his chance to make an impact. Lin is a really nice PG option at under 6K tonight.

J.J. Barea-Dallas Mavericks (5,000): Barea was unable to score in Game 4 but did have six assists in his 27 minutes.  He’s considered probable for Game 5, but its unclear how much his injury will limit his production like it appeared to last game. 

Devin Harris-Dallas Mavericks (3,300): If Barea is still limited, another good PG option for tonight is Devin Harris who will keep getting extra run especially now that Deron Williams is officially done for the season.  Harris scored 12 points in his 24 minutes in Game 4, and he had 23.75 fantasy points in Game 2 as well. Harris should get 20+ minutes again tonight which is enough to make him a decent option at such a cheap price. ∗∗
