High Value PG

Shaun Livingston-Golden State Warriors (4,500): Livingston played 18 minutes in Game 5 against Portland after being ejected in Game 4.  In those 18 minutes, he had an uncharacteristic four turnover which limited his fantasy production to just 11.9 fantasy points. He will see a dramatic reduction in his role with Curry back, but he’s still a decent play coming off the bench for Golden State. 

Cory Joseph-Toronto Raptors (3,600): Joseph has been the go-to guy as a cheap PG play throughout the playoffs since he usually gets plenty of minutes.  He didn’t really see much court time though against the Heat in Game 7 since Lowry and DeRozan were playing so well.  CoJo only played 19 minutes and finished with 7.5 fantasy points. However, he’s still the best option under 5K tonight, but I’d try to get two starters at PG and find another place to go cheap.  Joseph is the best available cheap option at PG, but he’s not as strong a play as some of the cheap options at other positions.
