High Value PG

Quinn Cook, GS at SAC ($6,200): Cook had 37.3 fantasy points against the Bucks on Thursday. Cook’s value is a bit complicated right now as Kevin Durant didn’t play long enough to see what Cook can be alongside him on Thursday. Plus, there’s a good chance Klay Thompson returns on Saturday. He needs 27.2 fantasy points to reach value on Saturday. I’m a believer in the Warriors system and in Cook’s shooting and think having three All-Stars around him benefits him more than hinders him. But you might feel differently. ***

Trey Bruke, NY vs DET ($6,000): Burke has been over value in all three games since moving to the starting lineup and has been over value in five straight overall. He needs 26.3 fantasy points to reach value on Saturday. There is no reason to doubt Burke with the way he’s played since signing with the Knicks. And if Enes Kanter can’t go, they’ll need even more of Burke’s scoring. He should push 30 fantasy points in this one. ***

Reggie Jackson, DET at NY ($5,300): Jackson has been over value in his last three games since returning from injury. The better news is that he’s played 28 minutes in his last two games. There’s a good chance he finds himself over 30 minutes on Saturday. With Blake Griffin out, it’ll be a lot of Jackson and Andre Drummond against the Knicks. He needs 23.3 fantasy points to reach value on Saturday and should make his way over 25 fantasy points with a chance at a big game. ***
