High Value PG

Goran Dragic, MIA at LAL ($6,700): Dragic has been over value in four of his last five. He’s coming off a 36.9 fantasy point effort against the Kings on Wednesday. He needs 28.5 fantasy points to reach value on Friday. The Lakers are 22nd against the position in their last 15 games. Dragic had 35.3 fantasy points against the Lakers on Mar. 1. Expect another game where Dragic pushes 30 fantasy points. ***

Isaiah Thomas, LAL vs MIA ($6,600): Thomas has been over 30 fantasy points in two out of his last three games. He picked up the start against the Warriors on Wednesday and played 37 minutes. He looks to be nearly back to his old self, which is a great sign for his value moving forward. If Kyle Kuzma is out once again, Thomas will likely draw another start. Even if he doesn’t start, he’ll play 30-plus minutes and likely be over 30 fantasy points. ****

De’Aaron Fox, SAC at GS ($5,900): The Warriors are 30th against the position in their last 15 games. If they’re down three All-Stars, the Kings might make this game competitive. And if they’re going to make it competitive, they will need Fox to be at his best. He had 31.4 fantasy points against Golden State on Feb. 2. A repeat performance is not out of the question, even if the Warriors are only down two All-Stars. ***
