High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Lou Williams (at DEN – $7,000)

Needs 32.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.25 fantasy points against Memphis.

Word on the street is that the Clippers have been advised to make the playoffs. Which means Lou Williams will be unleashed moving forward. The matchup is tough but this is the kind of matchup where Williams is going to shine because he’s their best perimeter option.

Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Dennis Smith Jr (vs. SA – $6,800)

Needs 32.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 22.25 fantasy points against Minnesota.

The Knicks are bad and I don’t know what they’re doing on most night. But he should get more minutes against the Timberwolves because they need him to show something in this final month and a half.

Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

High Value PG

Players costing $6,250 or under

Malik Beasley (vs. LAC – $4,700)

Needs 22 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 24.75 fantasy points against Dallas.

Beasley continues to get good minutes in the starting lineup and I will always like the guards in Denver, especially the starting guards, because of the way the Nuggets offense runs. Beasley will get you value if nothing else but the ceiling is higher.

Patty Mills (at NY – $4,000)

Needs 18.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 25.25 fantasy points against Toronto.

Mills has continued to play well with Derrick White out of the lineup and now he gets the Knicks. This should be an easy night for Mills as he’ll knock down shots and come up with a handful of assists.

Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
