High Value PG

Darren Collison, IND vs CHI ($6,100): Collison has been at value or better in three of his last four, which includes a 44.1 fantasy point game against the Bulls. The bad news is that in his one miss, he managed just eight fantasy points. The potential return of Victor Oladipo should help stabilize the value of Collison as it will return him to a more secondary role. I like him at value if Oladipo plays, but more a high risk-high reward player if Oladipo is unable to suit up. ***

Isaiah Thomas, CLE at ORL ($6,200): Thomas returned on Tuesday and had 19.5 fantasy points in 19 minutes. His minutes should increase in this one. He’s always a big scoring threat. His other numbers should start to increase as his minutes increase. The Magic are 30th against the position in their last 15 games, so this is a great matchup for Thomas, despite his injury. He needs 26.8 fantasy points to hit value. Because of that number, he’s a high-risk, high-reward player. **

Terry Rozier, BOS at BKN ($5,000): Rozier has been at value or better in six straight. That includes a 29.9 fantasy point effort on Sunday against the Nets. Rozier has turned into a solid and reliable scorer off the bench for the Celtics. Not only does he play 20-plus minutes, he’s entering a great matchup and one that he’s had recent success against. ****
