High Value PG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Derrick White (vs PHO – $5,700): Needs 24.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 29 fantasy points against Washington. You typically know what you’re getting from White. He’s been a reliable option for most of the season and now he gets the Suns. Everyone has a career game against the Suns, especially with Ayton out of the lineup. This should be an easy game for White, who will get his usual numbers. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Shabazz Napier (vs CHI – $5,100): Needs 21.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.9 fantasy points against Boston. With all the injuries to the Nets backcourt, Napier will continue to get his opportunities coming off the bench. He played well against the Celtics and now he gets the Bulls. Given the circumstances, this should be another strong outing from Napier. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Collin Sexton (vs WAS – $4,500): Needs 19.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 14.1 fantasy points against Chicago. Sexton hasn’t played well in recent games but this is a matchup he’s done very well against. He’s averaging 35.1 fantasy points in two games against the Wizards. So maybe this is the game he needs to get himself back on track. Diagnosis: Proven matchup and a high ceiling but inconsistent.
