High Value PG

George Hill-Indiana Pacers (4,700): Hill scored 22 points in Game 4 finishing with 31.3 fantasy points. He followed that up with 15 points and 25.9 fantasy points in Game 5, and he’ll need to continue giving the Pacers a second scoring option alongside Paul George.  Hill struggled in Game 2 with only 6.7 fantasy points, but he has been solid in the rest of the series.∗∗∗∗

Austin Rivers-Los Angeles Clippers (4,200):  Rivers played a ton of minutes in Game 5 in place of the injured Chris Paul logging 37 minutes but only totaling 13 points, three rebounds, and three assists for 18.1 fantasy points. Rivers hasn’t reached 20 fantasy points in any of the five games in this series, but he has the potential to produce a big number tonight since he’ll continue to get all the minutes he can handle with Paul out for the playoffs. Rivers has a higher ceiling than Hill, but he also carries much more risk. ∗∗

Cory Joseph-Toronto Raptors (3,600): Joseph continues to be my go-to for a cheap PG option whenever the Raptors play. He had eight points and 19.1 fantasy points in Game 5 and hast at least 19 fantasy points in four of the five games in the series.  He did lay an egg in Game 4 when he totaled only 4.2 fantasy points, but he has been very good in the rest of the series.∗∗∗
