High Value PG

Fred VanVleet, TOR at CLE ($5,100): VanVleet has been up-and-down in his last four games. He’s coming off a down performance against the Celtics on Saturday, playing 18 minutes and finishing with 17.25 fantasy points. He’s been great against the Cavaliers this season, averaging 35.4 fantasy points in two games. He’s able to take advantage shaky Cavaliers bench and should be able to do that again on Tuesday. He needs 23.9 fantasy points to hit value and should be over 25 fantasy points at the very least. ****

De’Aaron Fox, SAC at PHO ($5,000): The Suns are 24th against point guards in their last 15 games. After missing value in seven straight, Fox has been over value in his last two. He’s coming off a 28.25 fantasy point performance against the Lakers on Sunday. It’s Phoenix, it’s always smart to take guys against Phoenix, even if the Kings offense leaves a lot to be desired. He’s a solid low cost option on a packed night filled with top players. ***

Tyler Ulis, PHO vs SAC ($6,200): Ulis’ salary has jumped to where he needs 29.1 fantasy points to hit value on Tuesday. He’s been strong in his last four games, averaging 32.75 fantasy points in those contests. If Elfrid Payton returns for this game, Ulis is a bit of a risk because his minutes are not guaranteed and his salary is too high to take the risk, especially with so many players available on Tuesday. But if Payton is out, the matchup is good, and Ulis should be over 30 fantasy points. ***
