High Value PG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Collin Sexton (vs MIL – $6,300): Needs 27.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.9 fantasy points against Detroit. If Kevin Love doesn’t play, that will hurt Sexton a little bit because it puts more pressure on him. But he’s playing great and the Bucks are on a back-to-back with nothing to play for. It’s possible the Bucks just go through the motions. Meanwhile, Sexton has plenty to play for and these young guys always take advantage of the final third of the season. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Derrick White (vs MIA – $6,100): Needs 26.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.4 fantasy points against Golden State. White has settled into a great salary given his opportunities and minutes. And while the Heat can be a tough matchup, their zone defense is beatable to Popovich. White is going to carve up this defense because Pop is the only coach in the league who knows how to beat a zone defense. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Frank Jackson (at ORL – $5,300): Needs 23.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.4 fantasy points against Dallas. Jackson has been up-and-down in recent contests but the minutes and opportunities are still there for him thanks to the injury to Holiday and the Pelicans just playing whoever is available. And it’s the Magic, which makes this a good matchup. Jackson will break the trend and remain up in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
