High Value PG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Collin Sexton (vs DET – $6,300): Needs 27.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 37.6 fantasy points against Dallas. Sexton is being allowed to showcase himself in this final third of the season and he’s been delivering. Having Kevin Love around certainly helps his value as it takes some pressure off of him. And the Pistons are a weird team and they are on a back-to-back. Sexton will deliver. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Jalen Brunson (vs NO – $6,100): Needs 26.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27.9 fantasy points against Cleveland. If Luka is out once again, that’s good news for Brunson’s ceiling. He’s more reliable with Luka in the lineup because there is less attention on him. But the matchup is good that with or without Luka, Brunson should have no problem getting his numbers in the starting lineup. Plenty of fantasy points will be scored in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Emmanuel Mudiay (at TOR – $4,900): Needs 21.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41.4 fantasy points against LA Lakers. With Dennis Smith Jr out, Mudiay has had to pick up the scoring load. And scoring isn’t really an issue for him. The Raptors can be a tough matchup but they’ll probably rest Kawhi and who knows what their compete level will be at considering this is a pretty meaningless game for them. Murray is at a good salary given his usual production and minutes. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
