Monday, December 18th

Point Guard

Russell Westbrook vs. Denver Nuggets $59
Yogi Ferrell vs. Phoenix Suns $13
Milos Teodosic at San Antonio Spurs $12

PG looks like a position you should either be spending or saving tonight, with injuries piling up on the slate. Westbrook at home against the Nuggets who are the 10th best matchup for point guards over the past four weeks looks to be a good place to spend some salary tonight. If you need cheap players, Ferrell should play 32-35 minutes in the fourth-best DvP matchup over the past four weeks and is coming off a 41 fantasy point game while Teodosic will have an increased scoring role tonight with Lou Williams out and should approach 28-30 minutes with increased usage.
