High Value PG

Players costing $6,250 or under

Eric Bledsoe (vs TOR – $6,100): Needs 27.9 fantasy points. Bledsoe has been undervalued in the last two, but don’t be alarmed. The Bucks have had two straight blowouts, limiting Bledsoe’s minutes. His numbers will be back up against the Raptors as this one should be a close game. Bledsoe is at a good salary given how much he plays and who he plays alongside. Diagnosis: Love the salary and his role on the team. But if Giannis doesn’t play, stay away.

Derrick Rose (vs LAL – $5,100): Needs 23.3 fantasy points. Derrick Rose keeps playing and Derrick Rose keeps delivering. I keep waiting for him to falter, but it doesn’t look like it’s happening right now. And against the Lakers defense, I’m not sure they will be the ones who can slow him down. The salary remains good give the minutes and usage he gets. Diagnosis: Until he slows down, keep going with him.

Dwyane Wade (vs SAC – $4,900): Needs 22.4 fantasy points. Wade has been solid this season and he’s going up against the Kings. He’s been shooting the ball well from deep, which is unlikely to continue, but you may as well get him while he’s hot. I expect his assist numbers to be up given the matchup. Diagnosis: Reliable, high ceiling, and a fantastic matchup. Love everything about Wade on Monday.

Quick Hits

Frank Ntilikina ($3,900): Love the low salary, the way he’s looked this year, and the matchup.
