High Value PG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Patrick Beverley (vs BKN – $6,000): Needs 26.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36.1 fantasy points against Chicago. Beverley has been good more often than not since the break and he’s a guy who knows how to raise his game during this stretch run. He can do a bit of everything and with the Nets on a back-to-back, the circumstances are good for Beverley. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (vs BKN – $5,000): Needs 21.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.9 fantasy points against Chicago. SAG has settled back in nicely after a rough stretch coming out of the break. But he’s been great in March outside of a rough outing against the Thunder. If you want to save money, Shamet is an option. But SAG has a higher ceiling and is just as reliable. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Tyus Jones (at HOU – $4,900): Needs 21.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.1 fantasy points against Utah. If Teague and Rose are still out of the lineup, it means a lot more of Tyus Jones. As long as he starts, you can take him with confidence. The matchup isn’t great but someone has to get numbers for the Timberwolves at this position and Jones as proven that he can do just that. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
