High Value PG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Shabazz Napier (at SA – $5,700): Needs 24.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41.6 fantasy points against Chicago. The circumstances are still very good for Napier. He’ll continue to get plenty of shots on the bench unit and he’s a proven scorer. He’ll also chip in with some assists. The matchup is tough but he remains at a good salary given his usual production. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Patrick Beverley (vs LAL – $6,000): Needs 25.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 39.8 fantasy points against Atlanta. Beverley has played very well recently and his salary has jumped way up there. It’s slightly concerning but I love the way he’s playing and I love this matchup. The Lakers are not good and Beverley will play with the usual chip on his shoulder against a guy like Rajon Rondo. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.

Derrick White (vs BKN – $5,900): Needs 25.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33.9 fantasy points against Phoenix. White continues to deliver and he remains at a good salary given his usual production. I love this game from a DFS perspective. There’s a lot of good value and a lot of reliable guys who are capable of putting up big games. White fits the bill in this one. If nothing else he’ll at least get you value. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
