High Value PG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Derrick White (at DAL – $6,300): Needs 27.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 14.6 fantasy points against Milwaukee. White wasn’t good against the Bucks but chalk it up to an off night and expect him to be better. He had been playing well and just didn’t have it. He’ll bounce back against the Mavericks because it’s a much better matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Frank Jackson (vs MIL – $5,000): Needs 21.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.2 fantasy points against Atlanta. As mentioned above, the Bucks are a tough matchup. But Jackson will continue to get plenty of opportunities with the injuries to the Pelicans, namely Jrue Holiday. The salary is good given his minutes and production. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Alex Caruso (at CHI – $4,100): Needs 17.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 16.4 fantasy points against Boston. Caruso continues to play plenty of minutes and while he wasn’t good against the Celtics, the Bulls are not the Celtics. As long as the minutes are still there for him, he’s a reliable salary saver. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
