High Value PG

Dennis Smith Jr., DAL vs POR ($6,500): Smith Jr. had been over value in 11 straight prior to Wednesday’s game against the Rockets. He had 18.4 fantasy points in that contest. He had 43.2 fantasy points against the Trail Blazers on Jan. 20. I wouldn’t give up on Smith Jr. after one bad game, especially when that game came against Chris Paul and the Rockets. His lowered salary helps his value in this one. He needs 27.2 fantasy points to hit value against the Trail Blazers. I think he’ll push 30 fantasy points on Friday. ***

Spencer Dinwiddie, BKN at MIL ($6,100): Dinwiddie has been up-and-down in recent contests. He missed value by 1.83 fantasy points against the Thunder on Tuesday. If the trend continues, he should be over value in this one. D’Angelo Russell continues to struggle and until he shows something, ride Dinwiddie. He remains the top perimeter option on the Nets and puts up solid scoring and assist numbers. His turnovers have been up recently, which is a slight concern. ****

Darren Collison, IND at CLE ($5,400): Collison is averaging 31.6 fantasy points in three games against the Cavaliers this season. He had 34.4 fantasy points against them on Jan. 12. I’m a big fan of any player against the Cavaliers right now with the way their defense is playing. This is a great matchup for the Pacers and one that Collison has had success against throughout this season. He needs 22.6 fantasy points to hit value on Friday. He should be able to achieve that number with ease if the Cavaliers continue to play like they have in recent contests. Expect him to be well over value. *****
