High Value PG

Jordan Clarkson-Los Angeles Lakers (4,700): With D’Angelo Russell out, the Lakers have been giving their other guards more run, but Clarkson is still running with the second unit. However, he did play a solid 35 minutes last night giving him at least 33 minutes in three of his last four and he has at least 28 fantasy points in each of those three games including last night’s 31.25 on 22-3-2 with a steal. He will likely be coming off the bench, but he’ll be the Lakers best chance to keep things close in the late game tonight in Utah.∗∗

Jameer Nelson-Denver Nuggets (4,500): Nelson is liked up to start again tonight with Emmanueal Mudiay officially doubtful for the game against the Suns. Nelson is coming off of 17-7-1 for 30.25 fantasy points on Tuesday against the Jazz and has at least 20 fantasy points in six of his last eight games. He isn’t quite as cheap on DraftKings as he in on FanDuel, but he’s still a solid play as long as he gets the start against Phoenix who is allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing PG this season.∗∗∗

Jamal Murray-Denver Nuggets (3,600): If you want an even cheaper PG play from Denver, check out Jamal Murray who is boom or bust on a nightly basis. He has posted 24. 5 fantasy points against the Spurs (13-6-2) and 29.25 against Minnesota (17-5-3) in two of his last four games but only had 16 fantasy points on Tuesday and has been held under that in seven of his last ten games.∗

Pierre Jackson-Dallas Mavericks (3,000): Jackson is expectedd to get the start against the Thunder tonight and should log plenty of minutes with both Deron Williams and J.J. Barea unavailable. Jackson had 10-2-5 for an impressive 22.5 fantasy points on Sunday against the Lakers while only playing 18 minutes. Last night after Williams left injured, the former-Baylor star ended up with 24 minutes but only had 4-3-3 for 12.25 fantasy points. He’s a flier at the minimum tonight, but he should get enough minutes and chances to produce.∗∗∗
