High Value PG

Jarrett Jack, NY vs BOS ($4,900): Jack has been at value in four of his last five. If Kristaps Porzingis is able to go, that boosts Jack’s value as he has shown good chemistry with the Knicks power forward throughout the season. He’s not a big scorer, but he can put up solid scoring numbers on top of his playmaking ability. The Celtics are 10th against the position in their last 15 games, but they’re on a back-to-back and have slipped defensively over the past few weeks. ***

Tony Parker, SA at UTA ($4,200): Parker will return to the Spurs lineup after sitting out on Wednesday. So to will Kawhi Leonard, which helps Parker’s value. After a few days off, Parker should play around 25 minutes. If that’s the case, I like him at around 25 fantasy points, especially if Utah looks as lethargic as they did on Wednesday in Oklahoma City. ****

Jerryd Bayless, PHI vs TOR ($3,900): Much of Bayless’ value is determined by the status of J.J. Redick. If Redick can’t go, I really like Bayless as he should see the bulk of Redick’s minutes and he’s a comparable player with his ability to knockdown shots from three. If Redick plays, I like Bayless less just because he’ll see less opportunities. If he’s not scoring, he’s not doing much of anything, but the Sixers like to bomb away from deep so he certainly gets his looks. ***
