High Value PG

De’Aaron Fox, SAC vs OKC ($5,800): Fox missed value in his two games prior to the break, but remains a solid bet as long as he’s playing 30-plus minutes. The only thing that has held him back from that number in recent is injuries. He’s averaging 23.4 fantasy points in two games against the Thunder this season. That number would put him slightly under value, but both of those games came when he was still splitting time with George Hill. With that concern out of the way, he should be back over 30 fantasy points. ****

Tomas Satoransky, WAS at CLE ($5,500): The Cavaliers are 30th against the position in their last 15 games, although that number is slightly misleading as it includes a lot of Isaiah Thomas minutes. That said, Satoransky was on quite the run prior to the break, going over 30 fantasy points in three straight games. The new-look Cavs were impressive against Oklahoma City and Boston, but it’s tough to fully trust their defense until we see it in a sustained manner. Satoransky needs 25.1 fantasy points to reach value on Thursday. He should be around that number. ***

D.J. Augustin, ORL vs NY ($5,000): Augustin was over value in three of his four games since becoming the starter following the trade of Elfrid Payton. If you want the cheaper option, Shelvin Mack is available for $300 less. Either would be a good play against the Knicks, who don’t play defense and have no won in February. The Knicks are fourth against the position in their last 15 games, their overall defense is too bad to not take advantage of. ****
