High Value PG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Jalen Brunson (vs CLE – $6,100): Needs 26.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33 fantasy points against Denver. Brunson continues to play very well for the Mavericks as part of their starting lineup and now he gets the Cavaliers. The Mavericks aren’t good, the Cavaliers aren’t good, but the Mavericks are at home and Brunson gets the minutes and opportunities. I love him in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Collin Sexton (at DAL – $6,100): Needs 26.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.3 fantasy points against Orlando. And I also love Sexton because he’s playing with no pressure right now with the Cavaliers season done and Love back in the lineup. This should be an offensive affair given how both theses teams typically play. And Sexton has been leading the Cavaliers offense. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Frank Jackson (vs PHO – $5,000): Needs 21.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 24.1 fantasy points against Portland. It’s the Suns vs. Pelicans. Which means there will be plenty of points scored because neither team plays defense. And it’s a back-to-back, which means the effort really won’t be there. Jackson has played well as a starter and you can always bank against the Suns, especially with a player at Jackson’s salary. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
