High Value PG

Reggie Jackson, DET at BKN ($5,600): Jackson had 29.9 fantasy points in 25 minutes against the Knicks on Saturday. Nothing has been announced, but there’s a slight chance the Pistons rest him on the back-to-back, so check on that before making any decisions. Quinn Cook may have struggled against the Kings, but it’s tough not to like him against the Suns. But if Jackson plays, he’s the better option due to his role on the team. And it’s not like this matchup isn’t just as favorable as Phoenix. Jackson should push 30 fantasy points once again, although playing time might be an issue. ***

Rajon Rondo, NO vs OKC ($5,500): The Thunder are 25th against the position in their last 15 games. The Thunder typically give up threes, which isn’t Rondo’s game, but he can still get to the basket and set up teammates for three-point opportunities. He had 43.9 fantasy points against Oklahoma City on Feb. 2. He’s been up-and-down in his last five and hasn’t been the most reliable play this season, but this is a great matchup and he should do his part in getting points and assists against a weak Thunder defense. ****

Tyler Ulis, PHO at GS ($5,400): The Warriors are 20th against the position in their last 15 games and on a back-to-back. Ulis has been been over 30 fantasy points in three of his last five games and has gone 10-plus fantasy points over value in his last two games as the starter. If Elfrid Payton plays, he’s a slight risk just because his minutes aren’t guaranteed despite his strong play. But if Payton is out and Ulis starts again, you can expect another strong performance out of him given the matchup. ***

ES: Darren Collison, IND at LAC ($6,000)
