High Value PG

Terry Rozier, BOS at BKN ($5,100): Stacking Celtics is probably a good strategy in the early slate given their opponent. Rozier has been at value or better in six straight. He had 30.25 fantasy points against the Nets on Dec. 31. Rozier logs solid minutes behind Irving and if the game gets out of hand, his minutes will increase. He needs 23.7 fantasy points to his value. Given the matchup and his usage, that should be no issue for the Celtics guard. *****

Dwyane Wade, CLE at ORL ($4,900): Wade and the rest of the Cavaliers looked lethargic on Thursday, but with Isaiah Thomas back in the lineup, he should provide a nice spark. Wade had 29.5 fantasy points alongside Thomas on Wednesday against Portland. The Magic are 27th against shooting guards in their last 15 games. Wade’s low salary gives him plenty of room to outperform expectations. *****

De’Aaron Fox, SAC vs DEN ($4,500): Fox returned to the lineup and had 27.75 fantasy points against the Hornets. The Nuggets are 23rd against the position in their last 15 games. He needs 20.9 fantasy points to hit value on Saturday. He’s been up-and-down all season, but should get minutes given his recent game and the fact that’s averaging 24.8 fantasy points in two games against Denver this season. ***
