Top Four Shooting Guards

  1. James Harden, Houston Rockets ($10,800) vs. Brooklyn
  2. Klay Thompson, Golden State Warriors ($6,100) vs. Indiana
  3. Victor Oladipo, Orlando Magic ($7,600) vs. Denver
  4. Will Barton, Denver Nuggets ($5,700) vs. Orlando

Rationale:

  • Thompson has scored 30-plus fantasy points in three of his past four contests and as with PGs, Indiana has regressed vs. SGs on FanDuel after being tough on them out of the gate.
  • Oladipo has been tremendous off the bench, dropping below 31 fantasy points just once in his past six games, and Denver is worst in the league vs. off-guards.
  • Barton has averaged 29.9 FPPG over his past three contests but Orlando is generally tough on opposing SGs. There is clearly a steep drop after Harden tonight.
