High Value PG

Tyler Johnson, MIA at BKN ($4,400): Johnson had 35.75 fantasy points against the Spurs and projects to do just as well against the Nets. Brooklyn ranks 25th against the position in their last 15 games. Johnson provides strong minutes off the Miami, but if he’s not scoring, he’s not adding a ton of value. He’s been at value or better in three of his last four games and given the matchup, should be there again on Saturday. ***

Kris Dunn, CHI vs NY ($5,900): Dunn is coming off his best game of the season, a 52.50 fantasy point effort against the Hornets. He’s been over 30 fantasy points in five of his last six. The Knicks are a favorable matchup given that they rank 27th against the position. Dunn has hit value more often than not this year and is playing the best basketball of his career in the last couple of weeks. ****

Jordan Clarkson, LAL at CHA ($4,800): Clarkson has been below value in three straight, but two of those games were within a half point. He’s catching the Hornets on a back-to-back. Not only that, the Hornets just gave up monster fantasy nights to Kris Dunn and Justin Holiday. Clarkson has the ability to got hot, but his real value comes from rebounding and assists. I expect him to bounce back after these recent performances. ***
