Here are theScore's point guard value rankings for Wednesday, December 9:
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| John Wall (WSH) | vs. HOU | 10 |
| Chris Paul (LAC) | at MIL | 9 |
| Elfrid Payton (ORL) | at PHX | 9 |
| James Harden (HOU) | at WSH | 9 |
| Brandon Knight (PHX) | vs. ORL | 9 |
Wall has played well despite aggravating his knee and has a tasty matchup against Houston. A 25-point, 10-assist performance is in play.
Knight and Payton round out the top tier with Payton getting the edge against a soft Phoenix defense.
Best of the Rest
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Isaiah Thomas (BOS) | vs. CHI | 8 |
| Deron Williams (DAL) | vs. ATL | 8 |
| Derrick Rose (CHI) | at BOS | 8 |
| Michael Carter-Williams (MIL) | vs. LAC | 8 |
| Kyle Lowry (TOR) | vs. SA | 7 |
| Reggie Jackson (DET) | vs. MEM | 7 |
| Mike Conley (MEM) | at DET | 7 |
| Kemba Walker (CHA) | vs. MIA | 7 |
| Ricky Rubio (MIN) | vs. LAL | 7 |
| Jeff Teague (ATL) | at DAL | 7 |
Rose, Thomas, Carter-Williams, and Williams could provide great value on Wednesday. Rostering them in cash games allows you to save salary.
Lowry and Jackson both fall because of bad matchups and high salaries.
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Goran Dragic (MIA) | at CHA | 6 |
| Tony Parker (SA) | at TOR | 6 |
| Zach LaVine (MIN) | vs. LAL | 6 |
| D'Angelo Russel (LAL) | at MIN | 6 |
| Raymond Felton (DAL) | vs ATL | 5 |
| Patrick Beverley (HOU) | at WAS | 5 |
Dragic has been playing well of late and could be a great GPP play as a low-owned option. He registered 20 points and nine assists in his last game.
LaVine may not be the starter in Minnesota but his minutes and production are still reliable.
Felton has been effective of late but a matchup against Atlanta is not ideal.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Lou Williams (LAL) | at MIN | 4 |
| Dennis Schroder (ATL) | at DAL | 4 |
| Jeremy Lin (CHA) | vs. MIA | 4 |
| Cory Joseph (TOR) | vs. SA | 3 |
Williams is now the starter in Los Angeles but his role is not stable just yet. He is worth a play in GPP games, though he has yet to find his scoring touch.
Joseph could be shut down by San Antonio in his backup role or may see extra time if the Raptors fall out of reach.
