Here are the point guard value rankings for Friday, January 15:
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Kyrie Irving (CLE) | at HOU | 10 |
| Isaiah Thomas (BOS) | vs. PHX | 10 |
| Kemba Walker (CHA) | at NO | 10 |
| Damian Lillard (POR) | at BKN | 9 |
Irving's price remains relatively cheap for a top-tier point guard. A matchup against Houston makes Irving extremely appealing.
Lillard is the most expensive of the bunch but a matchup against Shane Larkin and Donald Sloan should be easy for him to exploit.
Best of the Rest
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Russell Westbrook (OKC) | vs. MIN | 8 |
| John Wall (WAS) | at IND | 8 |
| Ricky Rubio (MIN) | at OKC | 8 |
| Brandon Knight (PHX) | at BOS | 7 |
| Michael Carter-Williams (MIL) | vs. ATL | 6 |
| Jrue Holiday (NO) | vs. CHA | 6 |
| Deron Williams (DAL) | at CHI | 6 |
| Jeremy Lin (CHA) | at NO | 6 |
| Donald Sloan (BKN) | vs. POR | 5 |
| Shane Larkin (BKN) | vs. POR | 5 |
| Derrick Rose (CHI) | vs. DAL | 5 |
Westbrook and Wall drop in value due to their price tags and mediocre matchups.
Knight (illness) and Rose (knee) are both expected to play Friday but monitor their statuses to be safe.
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Jeff Teague (ATL) | at MIL | 4 |
| George Hill (IND) | vs. WAS | 4 |
| Jameer Nelson (DEN) | vs. MIA | 3 |
| Dennis Schroder (ATL) | at MIL | 3 |
| Zach LaVine (MIN) | at OKC | 2 |
LaVine had 21 points and nine rebounds against the Thunder on Tuesday. He may make for an interesting flier but his floor is close to zero.
