Monday's Point Guard Value Rankings
Here are theScore's point guard value rankings for Monday's nine-game slate.
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Ray McCallum (MEM) | at HOU | 10 |
| Briante Weber (MEM) | at HOU | 10 |
| Ricky Rubio (MIN) | at PHX | 8 |
| Jrue Holiday (NO) | at GS | 8 |
| Reggie Jackson (DET) | at WAS | 8 |
The recently-signed duo of McCallum and Weber have played a combined three games as Grizzlies, but are the team's only two healthy PGs. Both are at the minimum price on most DFS sites, and should have no trouble returning excellent value against the fast-paced, defensively-indifferent Rockets. McCallum had 13 points and eight combined rebounds, assists and steals in 27 minutes Saturday, while Weber is averaging six points, five assists, 4.5 rebounds and two steals over two games.
Rubio has three double-doubles in points and assists in his last four games, with a weak outing against the Spurs mixed in. His strong rebounding numbers help complement his fantasy appeal, and the fast-paced Suns shouldn't provide much resistance en route to another promising outing.
Holiday had a poor game against Milwaukee on Saturday, but had played at least 36 minutes in each of the four prior contests, never failing to register fewer than 20 points or six assists. He and Anthony Davis represent the Pelicans' best hopes of staying competitive against Golden State.
Washington plays at a fast pace and is a poor defensive team, which should allow Jackson to continue his recent strong play (two straight efforts of at least 20 points and 10 assists).
Best of the Rest
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Kemba Walker (CHA) | vs. DAL | 7 |
| Brandon Knight (PHX) | vs. MIN | 7 |
| Stephen Curry (GS) | vs. NO | 7 |
| John Wall (WAS) | vs. DET | 7 |
| Russell Westbrook (OKC) | vs. POR | 7 |
| Damian Lillard (POR) | at OKC | 7 |
| Goran Dragic (MIA | vs. DEN | 7 |
| Shelvin Mack (UTA) | vs. CLE | 7 |
| Deron Williams (DAL) | at CHA | 7 |
| Cory Joseph (TOR) | vs. CHI | 7 |
| D.J. Augustin (DEN) | at MIA | 7 |
| Kyle Lowry (TOR) | vs. CHI | 6 |
| Toney Douglas (NO) | at GS | 6 |
In two games back since missing nearly two months because of injury, Knight is averaging 20 points, six assists and four rebounds in 31 minutes. He appears to be back to normal, though his DFS price has quickly rebounded to its pre-injury level.
After playing 45 minutes in an overtime win on Saturday, Lowry may not have to exert himself much against a very short-handed Bulls squad. His backup, Joseph, could be in line for a bigger workload.
Douglas could draw another start if Norris Cole (back) remains out.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Kyrie Irving (CLE) | at UTA | 5 |
| Emmanuel Mudiay (DEN) | at MIA | 4 |
Irving is on a back-to-back against a tough defensive opponent. There are better options in his price range.
A dud of a performance Saturday (10 points, two assists, four turnovers) served as a reminder that Mudiay is still a rookie. His price has risen too much to trust in what looks like a tough defensive matchup. Backup PG, D.J. Augustin, represents an option the team has no trouble turning to if Mudiay struggles.
