High Value PG

Yogi Ferrell – Dallas Mavericks ($6,000) :  Ferrell has been quite the surprise since signing with the Mavs and he’s taken full advantage of Deron Williams’ injury, stepping right into the starting lineup and putting up some big games. But the salary isn’t 3, 4, or 5K anymore. Ferrell will cost you $6K now, and there is a possibility that Williams could return for tonight’s game. But if Williams is out again it would be hard not to play Ferrell tonight. Portland is horrid on defense and Ferrell smoked them last week for a killer 32/2/5 line, including an astounding 9/11 from downtown. This is a simple call: if Williams is out again Ferrell should be in your lineup. He’s averaging 37 minutes per game and over 33 FP per game with Williams out of the lineup.

Elfrid Payton – Orlando Magic ($5,700) :  Payton is simply one of the most volatile players in DFS. Case in point: he scored just 14.5 FP in his last game against Atlanta, who went out and let Utah score 120 on them last night. Payton has everything he needs to post big numbers. He’s still getting big minutes and hasn’t had a game with less than 10 shots since early-January. He’s off to a brutal start for February, shooting just 38% from the floor and missing all his three attempts over the last three games. Payton at just $5700 offers a buy-low option for a player with a lofty ceiling. He’s got to pull out of his mini-slump at some point, and he’s a good play for GPPs.

Sean Kilpatrick – Brooklyn Nets ($4,300) :  Kilpatrick loves playing against the Hornets, averaging over 33 FP per game against them, which is almost 10 above his season average. Brooklyn is mostly a big mess and Kilpatrick’s playing time is all over the place, but with Caris Levert out again Kilpatrick should be in line for somewhere around 30 minutes tonight. He’s played 26 and 32 minutes, respectively, in his last two games, shooting over 50% from the floor and downtown during that span. He’ll get starter minutes at a low price against a team he’s done well against. He represents a very solid play tonight according to the numbers.
