High Value PG

George Hill – Utah Jazz ($6000): Hill went off on Jeff Teague and the Pacers in their previous meeting this year, putting up a 30/6/5 line good for 48 FP. The Pacers have actually been better against point guards of late, but if Derrick Favors and Rodney Hood sit out again Hill will need to shoulder more of the scoring for the Jazz. He also loves playing against Teague.

Lou Williams – Houston Rockets ($5500): Sweet Lou has been all sour in his last two games, failing to connect on a three-point shot in both of them. He’s totaled just under 40 FP for those outings, but I’d be surprised if he doesn’t post a bigger number tonight. That game on Saturday fell quite short of the Vegas total, but I doubt that happens twice in a row. Look for Sweet Lou to bounce back tonight.

Jeff Teague – Indiana Pacers ($5900): Teague basically took George Hill’s job with the Pacers and the two both had tremendous games the last time they played. Teague had 40.5 in the previous meeting and the Pacers are at home tonight where they excel. They also need wins to keep their playoff spot, so expect another good battle between Hill and Teague tonight.

Jamal Murray – Denver Nuggets ($4800): Murray hasn’t gone off in a few games but tonight he is back up against the Rockets in what should be the highest scoring game of the slate. There is a lack of depth for value point guards tonight, but Murray always has a chance to pop off for 30 or more. He’s not my favorite value play of the night and with Russ and Harden going I might not need a value point, but he remains an option.
