High Value PG

Reggie Jackson, DET vs ORL ($5,500): Jackson has missed value in six straight games. His minutes have dropped due to his lack of production over the last week and a half. The Magic are last against the position in their last 15 games, which should be good news for Jackson. At some point, he’ll break out of this slump. The problem is, if he’s not scoring, he’s not giving you value in any other category. The matchup indicates that he’ll have a good game, but his poor play as of late indicates otherwise. **

Darren Collison, IND at BKN ($5,800): Collison has missed value in four straight, but he was within two fantasy points of hitting value in his last two games. He needs 26.5 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. The Nets are 25th against point guards in their last 15 games, so this is a strong matchup for Collison. He can put up numbers in all offensive categories and had 46.25 fantasy points against the Nets early in the season. ****

Jose Calderson, CLE at WAS ($3,800): Calderon had 14.5 fantasy points on Saturday against the Jazz. Prior to that he had 35.25 fantasy points against the Lakers. His value is likely somewhere in-between. With Dwyane Wade ruled out on Sunday, Calderon should see more responsibility as the backup playmaker to LeBron James. He can knockdown threes and pick up his fair share of assists. Plus, he’ll get the minutes to make an impact alongside LeBron and without LeBron. ****
