High Value PG

Kyle Anderson, SA at HOU ($5,500): Anderson posted just 19 fantasy points against the Thunder on Saturday. It’s tough to trust anyone on the Spurs right now, especially with LaMarcus Aldridge out of the lineup. Anderson had just 19 fantasy points against the Rockets on Feb. 1. He’s shown the ability to have a big game and he certainly gets the minutes to make an impact. But man, the Spurs are in a sad state at the moment. **

De’Aaron Fox, SAC at OKC ($5,400): Fox had 29.25 fantasy points against the Nuggets on Sunday. He’s averaging 24.5 fantasy points in two games against the Thunder this season but did miss the Feb. 22 matchup. On a back-to-back, his young legs should give him an extra step while the veteran guys might lag behind. The Thunder are still a mystery who can struggle around guard play. Fox needs 24.5 fantasy points to hit value. He should be around that number. ***

Tyler Johnson, MIA at POR ($5,200): No Dwyane Wade could mean more opportunities for Johnson in the Miami backcourt. The Heat have done a great job of spreading out their minutes in recent contests, but this is a game that should be close, meaning more minutes for the more trustworthy options. He’s missed value in his last two, but the loss of Wade has me feeling good about his chances to be over value on Monday. ***
