High Value PG

J.J. Barea, DAL vs MIN ($5,500): Barea has been up-and-down in his last six games. He’s coming off a down performance against the Hornets, finishing with 19.9 fantasy points. He’s missed the last two games to deal with a personal matter, so maybe he’ll be re-energized on Friday. Yogi Ferrell didn’t exactly step up in his absence and Barea has been the more consistent player this season anyway. The matchup is good and Barea should make his way around 25 fantasy points. ***

D.J. Augustin, ORL vs CHI ($5,400): The Bulls are 18th against the position in their last 15 games. Augustin is coming off a 21.7 fantasy point performance against the Nets and his salary is down to where he needs 23.8 fantasy points to reach value on Friday. Shelvin Mack is available for $400 less and has been playing more consistent ball of the two. But Augustin remains the starter with the higher usage rate. Your milage may vary on the two, but getting one fo them given the matchup is ideal. ***

Markelle Fultz, PHI at ATL ($4,600): Fultz fantasy line looks identical in his last two games. He’s played 14 minutes in both contests and produced 25 fantasy points in both contests. Maybe he plays more on Friday as the Sixers should have an easy time once again and they’ll be without Joel Embiid. He needs 20.3 fantasy points to reach value on Friday. He should have another good performance given the matchup. ****
