High Value PG
Players costing $6,250 or under
Dwyane Wade (at CHA – $4,700): Needs 21.3 fantasy points. Wade had 16.25 fantasy points against the Kings. A rough outing, which gives me a little pause heading into Tuesday. But I’m willing to chalk it up to an off-night and believe he’ll bounce back against the Hornets. He’s done well after rough outings this season so he should be better against the Hornets. Diagnosis: He’s been reliable this season and he’ll be better against Charlotte.
DJ Augustin (vs SAC – $4,300): Needs 20.1 fantasy points. Augustin has had some good games and some rough games this season. But this is a good matchup as the Kings are on a back-to-back and Augustin has a low salary. Augustin has the ability to put up scoring and assist numbers. Diagnosis: Good matchup, even though he’s inconsistent. I like his ceiling.
Collin Sexton (vs ATL – $4,000): Needs 18.7 fantasy points. Based on the firing of Lue, it’s going to be the Sexton show on Tuesday. I expect him to play heavy minutes and have an opportunity to showcase himself. The whole point of getting rid of Lue was to play Sexton more. I’d be shocked if they didn’t allow him to run wild. Diagnosis: Very low salary for a guy who should have the opportunity to run the show against a Hawks team on a back-to-back.
