High Value PG

Rajon Rondo, NO at ATL ($5,700): Rondo had 32.6 fantasy points against the Celtics on Tuesday. Maybe it was an over perform based on him always doing well against Boston or maybe it was him hitting a bit of a hot streak. The Hawks give him a good opportunity to hit value in two straight. They rank 23rd against the position in their last 15 games. I’m always weary of Rondo because he’s so inconsistent. I’ll say he’ll be at value, but don’t have my full confidence in it. ***

Ish Smith, DET at TOR ($6,100): The Raptors are 20th against the position in their last 15 games. Smith had a season high 43.6 fantasy points against the Hornets on Monday. His scoring numbers are typically good and he’s increased his assist numbers in each of his last four games. If Avery Bradley is out with a groin injury, expect Smith’s usage to rise. I like him to push 30 fantasy points on Wednesday. ****

Milos Teodosic, LAC vs DEN ($5,100): Teodosic is coming off a season high 28.2 fantasy point game against the Rockets on Monday. He’s been hit-and-miss this season, hitting value in 50 percent of games. He’s shown what he’s capable of in terms of his scoring and pass, but injuries and inconsistencies have hurt his overall value. He’s getting the minutes and the Nuggets are on a back-to-back. He’ll hit value and represents a low cost option on a big night. ***
