High Value PG

Austin Rivers-Los Angeles Clippers (5,400): With Chris Paul out, Rivers is getting lots of usage for the Clippers heading into a tasty matchup with the Nuggets. Rivers had a big game against Denver the day after Christmas when he played 42 minutes and had 19-3-5 for 27.1 fantasy points. He has at least 15 points and over 24 fantasy points in each of his last three games and has 24 fantasy points or more in five of his last six. The Nuggets allow the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing PG so Rivers is a good investment tonight.∗∗∗∗

Malcolm Brogdon-Milwaukee Bucks (5,400): Brogdon has been a regular in my FanDuel daily picks and a solid contributor especially since he has taken over the starting PG spot for the Bucks. He had 13-6-5 with two steals for 30.7 in the Bucks’ last matchup with the Heat and has three games over 25 fantasy points in his four games since then. He doesn’t normally have an ultra-high ceiling when Milwaukee is at full strength with Giannis and Jabari carrying the load, but he is a low-risk, multi-category producer.∗∗∗

Ty Lawson-Sacramento Kings (4,200): Lawson missed a game earlier this week, but he was back in action last night with 13-4-5 off the bench for the Kings against the Grizzlies to total 26.3 fantasy points. He has at least 20 fantasy points in five of his last six games not cut short by injury and is a solid value option tonight as Sacramento visits the Bulls.∗∗∗
