Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Kemba Walker (CHA) | at SAC | 10 |
| Rajon Rondo (SAC) | vs. CHA | 10 |
| John Wall (WAS) | vs. BOS | 9 |
| Jrue Holiday (NO) | vs. HOU | 9 |
| Elfrid Payton (ORL) | at MEM | 9 |
Walker is averaging 34.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game over his past four. He's 16th in the league in value added, and he's added an estimated 7.9 wins for the Hornets. He'll take on a Kings team leading the league in pace, providing even more opportunities to provide additional offensive numbers.
Rondo is coming off back-to-back triple-doubles, and he'll continue to produce with Walker being more focused on offense.
Best of the Rest
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Emmanuel Mudiay (DEN) | vs. ATL | 8 |
| Isaiah Thomas (BOS) | at WAS | 8 |
| Tony Parker (SA) | at GS | 7 |
| Stephen Curry (GS) | vs. SA | 7 |
| Ricky Rubio (MIN) | at CLE | 7 |
| Derrick Rose (CHI) | vs. MIA | 7 |
| Trey Burke (UTA) | vs. DET | 7 |
Parker will enter this marquee matchup well rested. He totaled just 47 minutes in two games against the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks. He had played over 30 minutes in each of his previous two games, combining for 55 points, eight rebounds and five assists.
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Jeremy Lin (CHA) | at SAC | 6 |
| Patrick Beverley (HOU) | at NO | 6 |
| Brandon Jennings (DET) | at UTA | 6 |
| Mike Conley (MEM) | vs. ORL | 6 |
| Dennis Schroder (ATL) | at DEN | 6 |
| Mario Chalmers (MEM) | vs. ORL | 5 |
| Troy Daniels (CHA) | at SAC | 5 |
Daniels is coming off a disappointing game on Saturday, but he outplayed Lin in the previous outing, in which he posted 17 points, three rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes. His workload will continue fluctuating, but he has an excellent opportunity to return value at the minimum cost.
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Marcus Smart (BOS) | at WAS | 3 |
| Darren Collison (SAC) | vs. CHA | 3 |
| Kyrie Irving (CLE) | vs. MIN | 2 |
| Reggie Jackson (DET) | at UTA | 2 |
| Jeff Teague (ATL) | at DEN | 1 |
Both Teague's point and rebound averages are down considerably from last season, as he's in a near-even timeshare with Schroder. He's dealing with an ankle issue, and averaging just 6.5 points over his past two games.
