High Value PG

Jeff Teague, MIN at GS ($6,000): Teague had 22.9 fantasy points on Wednesday against the Trail Blazers. Aside from his 41.6 fantasy point game against the Clippers, where he got the the free throw line on every offensive possession, he’s been a big miss in recent contests. I like him more if Jimmy Butler is back. However, if Butler is out, he’s not equipped to carry things on the perimeter, especially against the Warriors. **

Tyler Johnson, MIA vs SAC ($5,600: Johnson is currently listed as probable on Thursday. Both he and Goran Dragic could make their return to the lineup for the Heat. I would imagine that the Heat will take it easy on both guys given the matchup. Obviously, check Johnson’s status before making any decisions. Johnson needs 23.7 fantasy points to hit value. Given the matchup, he should be able to achieve that number, even if his minutes and usage are down. ***

George Hill, SAC at MIA ($4,500): Assuming De’Aaron Fox is unavailable, Hill should draw the start on Thursday. He was rested on Tuesday as the Kings rotate out their veterans to give their younger players a chance. The matchup isn’t great as the Heat are fourth against the position in their last 15 games. If he starts and plays 25+ minutes, he should give you the 19.1 fantasy points he needs to hit value. ***
