High Value PG

Dejounte Murray, SA at CLE ($5,500): Murray has missed value in five of his last six. His misses aren’t too bad, but it is concerning. He had a monster 49.3 fantasy point game against the Cavaliers on Jan. 23. Cleveland is a much different team now than they were then, but their defense hasn’t been 100 percent sorted out. Murray will bounce back and be over value on Sunday. ***

Jordan Clarkson, CLE vs SA ($4,800): Clarkson has been over value in three of his four games with the Cavaliers. His salary has dropped to to where he needs 22 fantasy points to reach value on Sunday. The Spurs are a tough matchup, but Clarkson’s scoring off the bench has been a big addition to the Cavaliers. He’ll be slightly over value in this one. ***

Jamal Murray, DEN vs HOU ($5,900): Murray has been excellent in his last two games. He posted 34.75 fantasy points against the Spurs and 47.25 fantasy points against the Bucks. He was abysmal in the Feb. 9 showdown with the Rockets, collecting just 8.75 fantasy points. There’s no way he plays that poorly again. He needs 27 fantasy points to reach value. Expect him to push 30 fantasy points. ***

Tomas Satoransky, WAS vs PHI ($5,700): After a four game stretch where he was over 30 fantasy points, Satoransky contributed just 18.5 fantasy points against the Hornets on Friday. Maybe the back-to-back nature had something to do with that. He started the Feb. 6 game against the Sixers and had 16 fantasy points, but did manage 26.5 fantasy points off the bench on Nov. 29. He’s been good more often than not as the starter, but proceed with caution. ***
