High Value PG

Rajon Rondo, NO vs DAL ($6,000): The Mavericks are 22nd against point guards in their last 15 games and will be without Dennis Smith Jr. On top of that, Rondo loves playing his former teams. He had 25.75 fantasy points against the Celtics on Sunday and 42.25 fantasy points against the Mavericks on Mar. 4. His salary has jumped to where he needs 26.9 fantasy points to reach value on Tuesday. The matchup is good and Rondo should push 30 fantasy points as he looks for another revenge game. ****

Austin Rivers, LAC at MIN ($5,800): The Timberwolves are 30th against point guards in their last 15 games. Rivers has been over value in his last four games and needs 26 fantasy points to reach value on Tuesday. Both teams are desperate for a win in a bunched up Western Conference. Against a leaky Minnesota defense, Rivers should provide enough points to be over value once again. ***

Yogi Ferrell, DAL at NO ($5,300): Dennis Smith Jr. is out and J.J. Barea is questionable. That means Ferrell should be in for a big night. He needs 23.8 fantasy points to reach value on Tuesday and is coming off a 38.25 fantasy point performance against the Nets on Saturday. He was held in check when these two teams met on Mar. 4, finishing with just 8.5 fantasy points. Given the injuries to Smith Jr. and Barea, Ferrell should have a bounce back performance. If Barea plays, he’s the more reliable option. ***
