High Value PG

Jordan Clarkson-Los Angeles Lakers (4,900): Clarkson had 20 points last night aginst the Wizards in 29 minutes giving him 16+ points in three of his last four games and six of his last nine. He didn’t get many non-scoring numbers so only had 23.9 fantasy points, but he has been over 25 fantasy points in five of his last nine. He’s a little risky since the Lakers backcourt is a very crowded place with Russell back, but Clarkson continues to make an impact when he rolls off the bench.∗∗

Yogi Ferrell-Dallas Mavericks (4,900): The Yogi show is likely to continue tonight since Deron Williams is doubtful and J.J. Barea has already been ruled out. In his last three games, Ferrell has stepped right into the Mavs’ starting lineup and posted 25.9 fantasy points, 35.5 fantasy points, and 24.1 fantasy points. He has played 36, 38, and 38 minutes in those three games and takes a ton of shots in his time on the floor. Tonight, he’ll get a good matchup against the Blazers in what should be a pretty up-tempo game by Dallas’s standards. While he isn’t the cheap bargain he used to be, I still think Ferrell is a solid play in one of the late games tonight.∗∗∗∗

Darren Collison-Sacramento Kings (4,800): Collison seemed to be shaking off his slump in mid-January, but then things fell apart on him on Monday and Tuesday of this week. He only had 12 and 15.4 fantasy points against the Sixers and Rockets as the Kings finished their trip which also saw him put up back-to-back games with 37.1 and 41.3 fantasy points. He’ll be lined up for lots of minutes tonight if Ty Lawson’s hand injury keeps him out, and he is a boom-or-bust play as the Kings return to Sacramento for their first home game since January 18. The matchup against the Suns is a good one if he’s getting all the minutes. ∗∗

Jamal Murray-Denver Nuggets (3,800): With all the Nuggets injuries, they’ve been able to get  rookie Jamal Murray more involved even though he battled a case of the stomach flu early in the week. Murray played 32 minutes against the Grizzlies and took 16 shots on Wednesday. He only managed to shoot 3-16, though, and finish with 9-4-2 with three steals and a block. He did still end up with 23.8 fantasy points which gives him three straight games with 20+ fantasy points. Tonight, the Nuggets have several players questionable including Emmanuel Mudiay, Nikola Jokic, and Will Barton. Jameer Nelson will be back after earning an early ejection on Wednesday, but the Nuggets will still find a way to get Murray minutes and he’ll get chances enough to make him the best sub-4K play at PG. Mudiay and Nelson in-∗∗ Mudiay out-∗∗∗
