High Value PG

De’Aaron Fox, SAC vs CHI ($5,800): Fox has been over value in five straight and seven of his last eight. His one miss came when he played just 11 minutes against the Magic. He needs 24.3 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. The Bulls are 21st against the position in their last 15 games. Fox had 27 fantasy points in 28 minutes against the Bulls on Dec. 1. He should post even better numbers in this one if he is given more minutes. ***

Ish Smith, DET vs POR ($6,500): Smith has been over value in three straight and 10-plus fantasy points over value in two of those contests. He’s coming off a 42.3 fantasy point performance against the Heat on Saturday. If he’s the only point guard on the roster again, he’ll log big minutes for a second straight game. The addition of Blake Griffin, along with the passing of Andre Drummond, has made Smith a great option in the backcourt. ****

Jamal Murray, DEN vs CHA ($6,600): Murray missed value against the Warriors, posting 24.8 fantasy points in that contest. He should have a much easier time against the Hornets, who are on a back-to-back and have struggled on the road. They rank 15th against the position in their last 15 games. Expect Murray to bounce back given the matchup. He was great prior to the Warriors game and will return to form on Monday. ****
