High Value PG

Jamal Murray, DEN vs CLE ($6,200): Murray was a huge bust on Tuesday, contributing 8.5 fantasy points and getting bench in the fourth quarter against the Mavericks. The message will get through to the 21-year-old. The Nuggets are on a back-to-back, but his legs should fresh after sitting out the fourth. He had 30.25 fantasy points against the Cavaliers on Saturday. His salary has dropped below the average and he’s too big a part of the Nuggets offense for Tuesday to be held against him. ***

Jordan Clarkson, CLE at DEN ($4,600): Clarkson has been over value in three of his last four. His one miss came against the Nuggets, where he posted 20.5 fantasy points. The Nuggets are a better squad at home, but they’re on a back-to-back and their defense remains a concern. Clarkson’s salary has also dropped to where he needs 21.3 fantasy points to hit value. He’s a nice low cost option who should be around value. If the Nuggets are weary on the back-to-back, Clarkson could be in for a strong night., ***

Isaiah Thomas, LAL vs ORL ($6,000): Thomas has been over value in his last three games, going over 30 fantasy points in his last two. The Magic are 19th against point guards in their last 15 games. He’s starting to look more like himself off the Los Angeles bench, collecting points and running the Lakers offense, leading to big assist nights. He needs 27.8 fantasy points to hit value on Tuesday and should be over 30 fantasy points again given the matchup. ****
