High Value PG

Players costing $6,250 or under

Dennis Schroder (vs POR – $5,400): Needs 25.2 fantasy points. Schroder has been solid off the bench for the Thunder in the last couple of games and seems to have found his shooting touch for the most part. He had just 19.75 fantasy points against the Blazers on Jan. 4 which is a bit concerning. But the Minutes and opportunities are always there for him. Diagnosis: Inconsistent but a good ceiling based on circumstances.

Patrick Beverley (at DAL – $4,800): Needs 22.4 fantasy points. Beverley was up to 53.5 fantasy points against the Spurs on Jan. 20. With the Clippers injuries guys have to step up and Beverley has proven that he can do that in certain situations. The Mavericks are good at home but they are on a back-to-back. If nothing else, the minutes will be there for Beverley. You can almost throw a dart and Clippers guards and hope one of them hits. Diagnosis: Inconsistent but a good ceiling based on circumstances.

Delon Wright (vs SAC – $4,100): Needs 19.1 fantasy points. Wright has been outplaying VanVleet over the last couple of games. I don’t know if that will continue but it’s good circumstances for the time being. His minutes are climbing as he continues to play better and I like the matchup. You can always look at Jalen Brunson at an even lower salary if you want someone reliable based on the minutes he usually gets. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable.
