High Value PG

Reggie Jackson, DET at CHI ($6,500): Jackson had 36.1 fantasy points against the Raptors on Monday. No Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin means Jackson is left to his own devices on Wednesday. They’ll need points and assists from someone and he’s the most likely guy to deliver. The Pistons might be down following a disappointing season, but Jackson needs these reps heading into next season and will look to showcase himself a bit. ***

Ricky Rubio, UTA at POR ($6,500): Rubio played only 20 minutes against the Warriors, but still managed 35.5 fantasy points. His minutes were down partly due to the hamstring injury, but mainly due to the Jazz blowing out the Warriors. With home court advantage on the line for Utah, there’s a good chance Rubio plays around 30 minutes in this one, assuming his hamstring holds up. If that’s the case, there’s a good chance he pushes 40 fantasy points. ****

Dejounte Murray, SA at NO ($6,300): Murray played only 15 minutes against the Kings on Monday. There’s always a chance Gregg Popovich punts in the last game of the season, but I suspect he’ll want to give Murray a playoff dress rehearsal. He’s done very well against the Pelicans this season, averaging 39.1 fantasy points in three games against them. Assuming he plays his usual minutes, there’s a good chance he’s over 30 fantasy points once again. ***
