Point Guard

Ish Smith vs Nets: $22

The injury to Reggie Jackson has paved the way to solid minutes for Smith in recent weeks, but the production has not exactly been spectacular with the expanded role. Ish has been solid, but I think he could tap into some upside in todays matchup against the Nets. The Nets have allowed the fifth most fantasy points to the point guard position this season and this game is projected to be one of the higher scoring on this slate. There really not much to work with at the position on this four gamer, so Ish is profiling as a cash game option with plays like Ennis and Payton making sense in a tournament builds.
