High Value PG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Darren Collison (at WAS – $6,300): Needs 27.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.2 fantasy points against New Orleans. Collison has continued to play well with the injury to Oladipo. He remains at a good salary given his usual production and minutes. And now he gets a poor Wizards team. Both teams are on a back-to-back so weird things will probably happen. I trust Collison’s game. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Reggie Jackson (at MIA – $5,600): Needs 24.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 56 fantasy points against Atlanta. Playing the Hawks is always good for a guys number and it was great for Jackson’s game on Friday. The Heat are a much tougher matchup with their defense but Jackson has been playing good more often than not in recent weeks and he’s seemed to found his rhythm on the offensive side. The minutes and opportunities will continue to be there for him without a doubt. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Collin Sexton (vs MEM – $5,500): Needs 23.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 18.4 fantasy points against Phoenix. Sexton was hot going into the break but cooled off against the Suns, which isn’t something you will say very often. He had 32 fantasy points against the Grizzlies earlier this season if you’re looking for some confidence in him. The minutes and opportunities are typically there for him and the Grizzlies are on a back-to-back. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
