High Value PG
T.J. McConnell-Philadelphia 76ers (5,500): McConnell continues to out-produce his value and e a strong play for the Sixers. He’s coming off an 8-6-11 game on Saturday in Atlanta where he finished with 33.7 fantasy points, and he has at least 29 fantasy points in two of his three games since returning from injury. McConnell doesn’t have to score to be effective, but he should be able to create tonight agains the Clippers who don’t have Chris Paul.∗∗
Austin Rivers-Los Angeles Clippers (5,400): Rivers was a big part of my FanDuel daily picks last night when he went off against Atlanta for 27-4-6 in 41 minutes for a massive 36.8 fantasy points. He now has at least 24 fantasy points in five straight games and will continue to get plenty of usage for as long as Chris Paul is sidelined. Rivers and the Clippers head to Philadelphia tonight where he’ll continue to get plenty of usage in another good matchup (although not as good as last night’s).∗∗∗
Kris Dunn-Minnesota Timberwolves (4,700): Dunn had a huge game against the Nuggets on Sunday playing 34 minutes and finishing with 10-8-9 for 40.1 fantasy points. He’s likely headed back to the bench with Ricky Rubio expected to play tonight against the Suns. Dunn had under 17 fantasy points in nine straight before his breakout game, so don’t count on him off the bench. If he starts, he’ll be a must-play, but off the bench he’s a stay-away. If starting-∗∗∗∗ Not starting-don’t own him for DFS
Jamal Murray-Denver Nuggets (3,700): Like Dunn, Murray is coming off a strong game that he put up when filling in. With Emmanuel Mudiay out and Jameer Nelson struggling, Murray played 20 minutes in Minnesota on Sunday and posted 17-5-3 for 38.5 fantasy points. He has over 23 fantasy points in two of his last three games while stepping up his scoring and non-scoring totals despite some continued struggles with efficiency. If Mudiay is out tonight, though, Murray will definitely be worth a look. No Mudiay-∗∗
