High Salary PG
Lonzo Ball, LAL at DET ($7,800): Ball finished with 40 fantasy points against the Grizzlies on Saturday, putting himself over value for the fifth time in six games. He needs 35.9 fantasy points to reach value on Monday. He finally scored in double figures for the first time in seven games against the Grizzlies, but he typically does his damage with rebounds and assists. The Pistons are sixth against point guards in their last 15 games, but Ball’s ability to contribute in all categories make him a worthwhile play on a slow night of action. ****
Terry Rozier, BOS at PHO ($7,600): Rozier had 57.25 fantasy points against the Kings on Sunday. He should be in for another easy night on Monday as the Suns present the worst defense in the league. Road legs are about the only issue for the Celtics in this one, but that shouldn’t be enough to hold them back against a poor Phoenix squad. He needs 35 fantasy points to reach value on Monday and should give you at least 40 fantasy points in this one. *****
Jeff Teague, MIN vs MEM ($6,600): Teague has been miserable in his last two games. He had 20.5 fantasy points against the Knicks and was all the way down to 9.3 fantasy points against the Sixers. Prior to that, he had been over value in six of his last seven. Given the opponent on Monday, a bounce back performance should be in the cards for Teague. His recent games don’t inspire confidence, but it seems impossible to struggle against the Grizzlies right now. ***
