High Value PG

Malcolm Brogdon, MIL vs GS ($5,500): Brogdon has made good of his recent promotion to the starting lineup. He had a season high 40.25 fantasy points on Wednesday against the Magic. The extra time with Giannis Antetokounmpo and the starters have done wonders for his value. The Warriors are 11th against point guards in their last 15 games, but 25th against shooting guards. He has a usage rate that is right in line with Antetkounmpo and Middleton in Milwaukee’s last five games. ****

Jarrett Jack, NY at MIN ($4,600): Jack is coming off a 49.5 fantasy point performance against the Bulls on Wednesday. It took double overtime and he’s unlikely to log another triple-double, but his assist numbers have been up in recent contests and his scoring is always around double figures. The Timberwolves have been much better defensively lately, but Jarrett is a low cost option who should hit value. ***

Jeff Teague, MIN vs NY ($5,600): Teague returned to the lineup on Wednesday against the Thunder and contributed 22.5 fantasy points in 26 minutes. His minutes will likely increase in this one and the matchup is much better. The Knicks are 24th against the position in their last 15 games. Teague was averaging 31.4 FPPG before going down with injury. He’ll be back up to that number as his minutes go up. ***
