Monday, December 2
PG
Greivis Vasquez ($3,900) – Barring any crazy injury information, Vasquez is the top value play of the night and a guy that will be heavily owned across the industry. With DeRozan out, he is getting the start alongside Kyle Lowry. He played 34 minutes (the game did go to OT so he may not play 34 every night) and produced 28.5 FD points. At this price points, he can easily continue to put up 7x value. Sacramento is in the bottom third of the league in FD points allowed to PG and SG so fire up Vasquez in all formats tonight.
Shaun Livingston ($3,700) – Outside of Vasquez, there isn’t a lot to like at under $5,500 currently. However, Stephen Curry’s ankles are an issue again so he is listed as a GTD. If he is out then fire up Livingston as a great value play. He’s a guy who can contribute in every statistical category, and Orlando is 28th in DVP against PGs.
SG
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope ($4,700) – He’s playing well over his past three games and more importantly getting huge minutes as he has played 36, 35 and 41 minutes. Over that stretch he is averaging 26 FD points, over 5x salary, and he gets a big bump in pace as the Pistons are playing the Lakers. Like most positions the Lakers do not guard the SG position well, and are 28th in FD points allowed to SG over their last 10 games.
Rodney Stuckey ($4,900) – Lou Williams ($4,900) is also in play here, but I’m already writing up several Raptors. Also, Lou will probably have a solid amount of traffic on him so I think Stuckey is a good pivot for a GPP. Indiana will be playing up in pace in this one, and is 25th in DVP against SG’s so this is a nice matchup for Stuckey. He’s back healthy and he gets very high usage as the Pacers lack other guards that can create offense.
