High Value PG

Dejounte Murray, SA vs NO ($5,900): The Pelicans are 24th against point guards in their last 15 games. With LaMarcus Aldridge back in the lineup, the Spurs offense simply operates at a higher level and gives Murray more room to maneuver on the court. Murray had 40.25 fantasy points against the Pelicans on Feb. 28. He should find similar success in this one, going over value and over 30 fantasy points. ****

Eric Gordon, HOU vs LAC ($5,000): Gordon somehow managed just 3.75 fantasy points against the Spurs on Monday. Opportunities are never an issue for the Rockets guard. He simply didn’t shoot the ball well against San Antonio. Hopefully the extra rest did him some good because the Clippers are ranked 27th against shooting guards in their last 15 games. He’s a risk because he could always miss everything again. But he’s averaging 31.8 fantasy points in three games against the Clippers. ***

Fred VanVleet, TOR at IND ($4,400): VanVleet has been over value in his last three, including 27.25 fantasy points against the Nets on Tuesday. He’s averaging 31.4 fantasy points in two games against the Pacers this season. This is a matchup that he seems to enjoy and he’ll continue to get minutes, especially with Norman Powell out of the lineup. He should be nicely over the 19.7 fantasy points he needs for value. ****
