High Value PG

Dennis Smith Jr., DAL vs LAL ($6,500): Smith Jr. has hit value in seven straight games. He’s been inconsistent for most of the season, hitting value in 57 percent of contests, but he’s playing with a lot of confidence right now as the Mavericks have found something offensively. Smith Jr. puts up solid numbers in all categories. Even when he’s not scoring, he’s find a way to make up the value with defensive plays or rebounds. He should be around 30 fantasy points as this feels like a game he will take personally going head-to-head with Lonzo Ball. ****

George Hill, SAC at LAC ($5,400): Hill returned to the lineup on Thursday against the Clippers and had 36.1 fantasy points. He played 35 minutes in that game, which is a good sign for his value moving forward. Prior to the injury, he was playing inconsistent minutes. I’m still not sure what the Kings are doing with their rotations, but the Hill/Fox duo worked on Thursday and it’s likely they go back to that on Saturday. ***

Milos Teodosic, LAC vs SAC ($5,400): Teodosic has 21.7 fantasy points against the Kings on Thursday. With the Clippers still hurting on the perimeter, Teodosic is a reliable play who can get points and plenty of assist playing alongside Lou Williams and Blake Griffin. If DeAndre Jordan is out, more scoring responsibility will fall on those three. Chances are they will deliver given the matchup. ***
