High Value PG

Jordan Clarkson, LAL at NY ($4,900): While Lonzo Ball has been inconsistent, Clarkson has typically been there to pick up the slack. He’s been at value in 68 percent of games this year, but his 24 percent dud rating is a bit concerning. However, with his low salary and ability to get points in a hurry, he’s always a threat to go way over value, as evident by the fact that he’s been 1.5 times over value in 32 percent of games. I like Clarkson to take advantage of a weak Knicks defense. ****

Tony Parker, SA at DAL ($4,000): If Kawhi Leonard does make his season debut on Tuesday, that only adds to Parker’s value. Even if Leonard isn’t quite ready to go, Parker has been at 24+ fantasy points in the last two games, shaking off the rust from his torn quad. He had 12 fantasy points in 14 minutes on Nov. 27 against the Mavericks, but I wouldn’t read too much into that as it was his first game back. His minutes are up and he’s starting to look more like the Parker we’ve come to know. ***

Reggie Jackson, DET vs DEN ($5,900): Jackson has missed value in three straight and is coming off a miserable 11.75 fantasy point game against the Celtics. Given his last three opponents (Milwaukee, Golden State, and Boston), I’m not ready to write off Jackson just yet. The Nuggets are 29th against the position and Jackson has shown the ability to get hot. He needs to start contributing in other areas more consistently, but I like this matchup for him. ****
