High Value PG

D’Angelo Russell-Los Angeles Lakers (5,700) Russell had been banged up with a calf strain and a knee bruise costing him three full games and extremely limiting his time in two others. He looked great in his return against the Nuggets, though, with 22-7-10 and 51.25 fantasy points. He was starting to play well before the injury, and at this price he’s a great play tonight if he’s healthy and ready for full workload against John Wall and the Wiz.∗∗∗

T.J. McConnell-Philadelphia 76ers (5,600):  Another mid-range play to check out tonight is McConnell as he travels to San Antonio to take on the Spurs. The Sixers new PG had been playing well but hit a bad matchup against the Mavericks last night and only had 20 fantasy points. Before that, he had at least 30 fantasy points in four straight games, and if he gets back to that level tonight he’ll be a solid play at under 6K. He doesn’t have nearly the ceiling that Russell brings, but he is a little less risky since ehe has been turning in his numbers more consistently over the past few weeks.∗∗∗

Raymond Felton-Los Angels Clippers (4,900): Felton actually had better numbers than Rivers against the Warriors with 10-7-5 for 27.75 fantasy points. He has at least 23 fantasy points in seven of his last eight games, and he actually got the start last night against the Suns. The three-guard lineup probably won’t work against the Warriors tonight, but he still is an interesting play and costs much less than Rivers making him the better Clippers PG play tonight on a points-per-dollar basis.∗∗∗
