High Value PG

Malcolm Brogdon, MIL at WAS ($5,400): Brogdon is about the most trustworthy player on the Bucks right now. He hit value again on Sunday with 24.75 fantasy points. He’s been performing well as a starter and has a nice salary to fit in your lineup. He needs 24.8 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. I like him to be around that number. ***

Jarrett Jack, NY at BKN ($5,000): Jack had 43.5 fantasy point on Sunday against the Pelicans and has been over 30 fantasy points in three straight. Until he shows signs of cooling off, I see no reason to not have him in your lineup. He’s a low cost player and the matchup against Brooklyn projects well for him. The Nets are last against the position in their last 15 games. *****

Isaiah Thomas, CLE vs GS ($5,600): Admittedly, this is a risky pick. If you’re looking for someone more reliable with a better matchup, go with Darren Collison ($5,500). But if you play multiple lineups want to take a risk, Thomas is your guy. This is a big matchup for the Cavaliers and he has the ability to really raise his game and the Cavaliers as a whole. He’s missed value in every game since returning and his play has dropped off. He’s a complete risk, but I’ve learned to not doubt Thomas in these games. **

De’Aaron Fox, SAC at OKC ($4,900): Fox has been great in recent weeks, going over 30 fantasy points in four of his last five. He had 24 fantasy points in 24 minutes against the Thunder on Nov. 7. I still don’t fully trust the Thunder defense without Andre Roberson and this feels like a game that’s more competitive than it should be. ***
