High Salary PG

Kyrie Irving, BOS at PHI ($8,200): I’m going to say this now and I’ll probably repeat myself: I have no feel for the London game. When the NFL travels to London, the players are tired and it’s usually one of the worst games of the season. Defense usually rules when teams have to travel overseas. The Sixers are 20th against the position in their last 15 games and Irving had 43.3 fantasy points against the Sixers on Nov. 30. On paper, this is a good matchup for Irving. But, London. He should be at value given his relatively low salary. ***

Lonzo Ball, LAL vs SA ($7,800): Ball went over 50 fantasy points for the first time in a month on Tuesday against the Kings. The Spurs project as a much tougher matchup, but there’s no denying how good Ball has been over the last month. The Spurs are ninth against the position in their last 15 games. I like Ball to be around value, but I always caution against players taking on the Spurs, especially players who aren’t great scorers. ***

High Value PG

De’Aaron Fox, SAC vs LAC ($6,300): Fox has been great since returning injury, hitting value in all four games and going over 30 fantasy points in two of those contests. With George Hill out, Fox has stepped up to carry the offensive load. The Clippers are 16th against the position in their last 15 games and on a back-to-back. He should push for 30 fantasy points once again. ***

Delon Wright, TOR vs CLE ($5,700): It looks like Kyle Lowry will be held out of Thursday’s contest, which means Wright will draw the start once again. He had 33.4 fantasy points against the Heat on Tuesday as the starter. I like his numbers be better in this one given that the Cavaliers defense is terrible right now and he’s not playing on a back-to-back. ****
