High Value PG

Reggie Jackson, DET vs DEN ($6,100): Jackson has been under 20 fantasy points in two straight, but I expect him to bounce back in this one. The Nuggets are 25th against the position in their last 15 games. Jackson has the ability to put up big numbers in the points category and can always chip in with rebounds and assists. The Nuggets don’t play as well on the road and this has been a long and rather unsuccessful road trip for them thus far. ***

J.J. Barea, DAL vs SA ($5,400): Dennis Smith Jr. is out again, which means more opportunity for Barea to contribute. He’s down well against San Antonio this season, averaging 35.6 fantasy points in two games. He missed value against the Timberwolves, but that was due to his $6,400 salary. He’s back around where he should be and needs just 22.6 fantasy points to hit value. He’s been around that number or better in five straight. ***

De’Aaron Fox, SAC vs PHO ($4,700): Fox had 9.2 fantasy points for the second time in three games on Sunday against Toronto. He bounced back with 26.2 fantasy points last time and the Suns present him with the opportunity to have another big bounce back game. Phoenix is 24th against the position in their last 15 games and have struggled defensively all season. Fox can do a little bit of everything, but his numbers have been down across the board in recent contests. This matchup might be too good to pass up on though. ***
