High Value PG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Terry Rozier (at LAL – $6,400): Needs 27.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.2 fantasy points against Sacramento. Kyrie is scheduled to play in this game which will move Rozier back to the bench, where he’s been all over the place this season. But his minutes could actually be up in this game because the Lakers just aren’t very good. Rozier had 35.8 fantasy points in 19 minutes against them on Feb. 7. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.

Tomas Satoransky (at MIN – $6,300): Needs 27.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33.8 fantasy points against Charlotte. You typically know what you’re getting from Satoransky and even though this is a back-to-back for the Wizards, it’s not like the Timberwolves are a good team. Far from it, in fact. Especially with their defense. Ignore the back-to-back and expect Satoransky to get you at least value in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Alex Caruso (vs BOS – $3,900): Needs 16.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 25.7 fantasy points against Denver. This is Alex Caruso’s world now, we’re just living in it. I can’t guarantee he’s going to play big minutes but the Lakers have nothing going on right now and with all the injuries, they may as well give Caruso some run. He at least plays hard, which is more than we can say about a lot of players wearing purple and gold. He won’t exactly hurt you at this salary either. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.
