High Value PG

Players costing $6,250 or under

Ricky Rubio (vs PHO – $5,400): Needs 26.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 22.5 fantasy points against Chicago. Rubio was down against the Bulls but he played less than his usual minutes because the Jazz came out hot, as expected. The Suns are another easy matchup but Rubio’s salary is down a bit and even in limited minutes, he’ll be able to get enough numbers to at least get you value. You can always bet against the Suns. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Dennis Schroder (at MEM – $5,300): Needs 25.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47 fantasy points against Toronto. Schroder can be all over the place but the minutes and opportunities are always there for him and he has a high ceiling. He had 47.5 fantasy points against the Grizzlies on Mar. 3. And while Paul George wasn’t part of that game, Schroder still gets enough shots and assist opportunities to make him worth a look. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Delon Wright (vs OKC – $5,300): Needs 25.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30 fantasy points against Minnesota. With Bradley still out of the lineup, Wright is seeing good minutes and making the most of those minutes. He had 42 fantasy points against the Thunder on Mar. 3. Granted, Mike Conley didn’t play in that game, but the Thunder perimeter defense hasn’t been much to write home about. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
