High Value PG

Kris Dunn, CHI vs MEM ($6,500): The Grizzlies are 28th against the position in their last 15 games. Dunn has been up-and-down in his last four games. He was over 40 fantasy points in two contests and under 20 fantasy points in the other two. He’s coming off a game where he was under 20 fantasy points. The matchup is good, but the Bulls rotation is out of sorts, especially now that they’ve been forced to play Justin Holiday. He’s a risk due to the rotation concerns, but the ceiling is high for the Bulls point guard. **

De’Aaron Fox, SAC vs NO ($5,800): The Pelicans are on a back-to-back and rank 19th against the position in their last 15 games. After hitting value in three straight, Fox was under value against the Knicks, contributing 16.6 fantasy points in that contest. He’s played well against the Pelicans this season, averaging 26.1 fantasy points in three games. That number would put him just over value on Wednesday. He should be around value given the matchup and circumstances. ***

Fred VanVleet, TOR at DET ($4,800): VanVleet had 33.1 fantasy points against the Hawks on Tuesday, playing 29 minutes in that contest. His minutes have been at 25 or over during this recent stretch as the Raptors show a lot of faith in their bench. The concern is that he played only 19 minutes against the Pistons on Feb. 26. Assuming he’s over 20 minutes, he’ll be over the 21 fantasy points he needs to hit value on Wednesday. The Pistons are 24th against the position in their last 15 games. ***
