High Value PG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Tomas Satoransky (at SA – $6,200): Needs 26.5 fantasy points. Satoransky has been a bit up-and-down in recent weeks but still gives you something. He was technically down against the Magic, so if the trend continues, he’ll be back up in this one. The Spurs are on a back-to-back but did catch some rest against the Pelicans. And the Spurs can be a tough matchup but Satoransky gets the minutes and opportunities to produce. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.

Derrick White (vs WAS – $5,600): Needs 23.9 fantasy points. If DeRozan is out of the lineup once again that will continue to help White’s value. Even if DeRozan is back, White has been a reliable option since joining the starting lineup and the Wizards are a solid matchup given their lack of depth. White does a bit of everything and I still like his pairing with Forbes. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Jerryd Bayless (vs UTA – $4,200): Needs 18 fantasy points. This is all about the circumstances once again. If Bayless is the only point guard on the roster, he’ll have no issue getting his numbers given the opportunities he has and the salary he’s at. He had 31.1 fantasy points against the Jazz on Jan. 25 and has been over 30 fantasy points in his last three games. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling as long as he’s the only point guard playing.
