High Value PG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Tyus Jones (at MEM – $5,400): Needs 23.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.9 fantasy points against Charlotte. The circumstances remain great for Jones as long as Teague is still out of the lineup. Conley should be back for the Grizzlies but they are on a back-to-back so legs could be an issue. These two teams have nothing to play for but Jones will continue to get numbers based on circumstances. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Shaquille Harrison (vs UTA – $4,500): Needs 20 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36.25 fantasy points against Washington. The Bulls have no healthy players right now so Harrison is drawing the start and making the most of his opportunities. Once again, this is all about the circumstances. The end of the regular season is weird as guys don’t care enough to get back from nagging injuries and you see random players like Harrison make an impact. If he starts, take him. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Quinn Cook (vs DAL – $3,500): Needs 15.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 2 fantasy points against Indiana. Once more, it’s all about the circumstances. I’m going to assume that Cook will draw the start based on Livingston and Curry being out. If that changes, change your lineup. But Cook plays well as a starter because he plays on a great team and he can hit shots. He’s at a great salary if he ends up drawing the start. If he doesn’t start, he’s more of a risk as his minutes aren’t guaranteed. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
