High Value PG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Tomas Satoransky (at MIA – $6,400): Needs 27.5 fantasy points. Satoransky continues to take advantage of his newfound starting role. He’s been very good as a starter the last two seasons when Wall has been injured. He does a bit of everything and his salary remains at a reasonable level given his current production. The matchup is tough because Miami can make things a slog, but I trust Satoransky to deliver. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Terry Rozier (vs DAL – $6,100): Needs 26.2 fantasy points. With Irving out of the lineup, Rozier had 43.1 fantasy points against the Timberwolves on Jan. 2. As long as Irving is out once again and Rozier starts, you can take him with confidence. The Mavericks are worse on the road and Rozier has proven that he can put up big numbers as the starter. Diagnosis: Take with confidence if Irving is out. If Kyrie plays, salary is way too high given what he’s shown this season.

Darren Collison (at CHI – $5,900): Needs 25.3 fantasy points. Collison has been over 30 fantasy points in his last three games. He’s playing very well and now he gets the Bulls. He’s doing a bit of everything and he should have no issue putting up numbers in this game because the Bulls are a mess. His salary is climbing, but it’s also not quite enough given his current production. I do worry that he falls apart at any moment. Diagnosis: Red hot and a good ceiling. But inconsistent throughout the season.
