High Value PG

Jeff Teague, MIN vs POR ($5,500): Teague was back over value on Friday against the Knicks, posting 37.8 fantasy points. He’s been inconsistent this season, hitting value in 55 percent of games. But his low salary makes him a strong play on Sunday. He needs 23.7 fantasy points to his value against Portland. He’s been over that number in 23 of 33 games this year. He plays a lot of minutes and gets plenty of chances to contribute on both ends. ****

Jarrett Jack, NY vs NO ($5,100): Jackson has been over value in three straight and coming off back-to-back strong performances. He followed up his 44 fantasy point game against the Bulls with 32.2 fantasy points against the Timberwolves. The Pelicans are 19th against the position in their last 15 games. Jack had 33.3 fantasy points against the Pelicans on Dec. 30. He should easily be at value again and there’s a good chance he’s over 25 fantasy points in this one. ****

Darren Collison, IND at PHO ($5,100): The Suns are 12th against the position in their last 15 games, but the Pacers offense has been clicking all season, especially with Victor Oladipo in the lineup. Collison had 34.4 fantasy points on Friday against the Cavaliers. He’s a good second scoring option beside Oladipo, but could do more in other categories to really solidify his value. He’s reliable at this salary and given the Suns overall defense, there’s a good chance he exceeds value. ****
