High Value PG
Rajon Rondo, NO vs OKC ($6,100): Rondo is always a tricky player. Here are his last four game fantasy point totals: 57.25, 17.5, 47.5, 18.75. He’s hit value in just 41 percent of games this season. One of those hits was against the Thunder on Feb. 2 as he posted 42.25 fantasy points in that contest. He’s not a big scorer, but he still finishes well around the rim and racks up plenty of assists, This should be a high scoring affair and Rondo will have his hand in plenty of points, whether they come from him or off his passes. ***
D.J. Augustin, ORL at ATL ($5,800): The Hawks are 28th against point guards in their last 15 games. Augustin has been up-and-down in recent contests. He’s coming off an up performance, posting 31.75 fantasy points against the Bulls on Friday. He needs 27.2 fantasy points to reach value on Sunday and had 40.25 fantasy points against the Hawks on Feb. 8. The matchup is good and Augustin has been solid as the starting point guard since the trade deadline. Expect him over 30 fantasy points in this one. ***
Tyler Ulis, PHO at GS ($5,500): The Warriors are 27th against point guards in their last 15 games and on a back-to-back. Ulis has done a great job filling in for Elfrid Payton, going over 30 fantasy points in his last three games. He’s coming off a 44 fantasy point performance against the Rockets on Thursday. If Payton plays, he’s a bit of a risk at this salary, but there’s no denying his play as of late and Payton’s lack of performance since the first couple of games after the deadline. ***
ES: Darren Collison, IND at LAC ($5,800)
