High Value PG

De’Aaron Fox, SAC vs BKN ($5,600): After missing value in four straight, Fox posted 33.75 fantasy points against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday. The Nets rank ninth against the position in their last 15 games, but their overall defense is 22nd in the league. If the Nets are jet lagged from the travel, the Kings might run over them. The more likely scenario is that this is a competitive game with both teams scoring plenty of points. Fox should push 30 fantasy points in this one. ****

Isaiah Thomas, LAL at MIA ($5,100): No Josh Hart means more minutes for Thomas. He hasn’t been great in Los Angeles, missing value in four of his last five. In his one hit, he was over by just 1.7 fantasy points. His salary has dramatically dropped to where he needs 23.9 fantasy points to reach value. With his low salary and the injury to Hart, Thomas should be over value. ****

George Hill, CLE vs PHI ($4,800): Hill has been hit-and-miss in recent contests. He had 29 fantasy points against the Grizzlies, but just eight fantasy points against the Spurs. However, he’s coming off a 44.35 fantasy point effort against the Nets. He’s been good against the bad teams and bad against a good team. The Sixers are somewhere in the middle. Expect Hill’s performance to be somewhere in the middle as a result. He needs 22.4 fantasy points to reach value and should be around that number. ***
