Here are theScore's point guard value rankings for Thursday, March 24:

Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C

Top Options

Name Opponent Value
Chris Paul (LAC) vs. POR 8

Paul's salary is high, but he has a beneficial matchup as Portland struggles to limit opponents in points per game, FG percentage, and 3-point percentage. The Clippers and Blazers both rank in the mid-tier of offensive pace pushing the Over/Under to a respectable 214.

Ultimately, Paul is a strong cash game play with a hint of tournament upside. He has only averaged 14 points and 11 assists in three games against Portland this year, but the 11-year veteran is averaging 20.6 points, 10.6 assists, and 4.4 rebounds over his last five.

Best of the Rest

Name Opponent Value
Russell Westbrook (OKC) vs. UTA 7
Shelvin Mack (UTA) at OKC 7
Kyrie Irving (CLE) at BKN 7
Jrue Holiday (NO) at IND 6
Damian Lillard (POR) at LAC 6
Toney Douglas (NO) at IND 6
Derrick Rose (CHI) at NY 5
George Hill (IND) vs. NO 5

Mack should be a great cash game play as he provides some salary relief and has provided strong value in six straight games.

Irving has struggled mightily of late. Luckily, his DFS salary has plummeted and he draws Brooklyn Wednesday night. Roster Irving in tournament play in hopes that he gets plenty of buckets as the Nets rank in the bottom third of Opponent Points per game, Opponent FG%, and Opponent 3-point percentage.

Lillard falls considering he has only averaged 18 points, 5.3 assists, and 4.3 rebounds against the Clippers this year. His averages in assists, rebounds, and 3-point percentage have also been dropped in road games this year.
