High Value PG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Jamal Murray (at GS – $6,600): Needs 28.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.6 fantasy points against LA Lakers. Murray continues to play a reliable game and there isn’t much to like about the Warriors right now, especially their defense. If nothing else, Murray will get you at least value. But I expect more from him given the Nuggets offense and the current state of the Lakers defense. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Tomas Satoransky (at CHA – $6,200): Needs 26.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.1 fantasy points against Dallas. Satoransky has been fantastic for the Wizards for the majority of the season and he’s shown a high ceiling. And now he has a god matchup against the Hornets. He had just 24.6 fantasy points against them on Feb. 22 but I’m expecting more in this matchup given his usual minutes and production. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Patrick Beverley (vs OKC – $6,200): Needs 26.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 42.8 fantasy points against LA Lakers. If you want a salary saver, DJ Augustin is a reliable option. But I like Beverley because he’s playing well right now, the Thunder are on a back-to-back, and Beverley always has a little something extra for Westbrook. Granted, Westbrook always has a little something extra for him as well. But Beverley will get his numbers with this matchup and circumstances. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
