Saturday's Point Guard Value Rankings
Here are theScore's point guard value rankings for Saturday's four-game slate.
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Chris Paul (LAC) | vs. GS | 9 |
| Stephen Curry (GS) | at LAC | 8 |
| Goran Dragic (MIA) | vs. WAS | 8 |
Paul comes in at a nice discount compared to Curry. In two earlier games against Golden State, Paul averaged 29.5 points, 8.5 assists and three steals - both with Blake Griffin in the lineup. Without him, Paul should have even more of a load to carry.
Without Chris Bosh, Dragic has drastically stepped up his play. He has rertuend four-to-six times his value of late. He put up 17 points, 10 assists and five rebounds Friday.
Best of the Rest
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Jeff Teague (ATL) | vs. MIL | 7 |
| Ricky Rubio (MIN) | vs. NY | 7 |
| John Wall (WAS) | at MIA | 6 |
| Jose Calderon (NY) | at MIN | 6 |
| Shaun Livingston (GS) | at LAC | 6 |
With the trade deadline complete, Teague should continue the strong play that has seen him routinely return five to six times his value.
In three games against Miami this season, Wall has only managed to top 20 points and 10 assists once, in separate games. The Heat's slow pace usually manages to keep scorelines down, and considering Wall's price, Paul is the better option.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Michael Carter-Williams (MIL) | at ATL | 5 |
| Dennis Schroder (ATL) | vs. MIL | 5 |
Though both are capable of quickly piling up stats, backup roles and the inconsistent workloads that come with them limit Carter-Williams' and Schroder's upsides.
