Top Four PGs

  1. John Wall (Wizards) – $9,700 @ Raptors
  2. Chris Paul (Clippers) – $9,300 @ Hornets
  3. Kyle Lowry (Raptors) – $8,400 vs. Wizards
  4. Jarrett Jack (Nets) – $6,500 @ Magic

Rationale:

  • Wall and Paul are both on fire. Wall is averaging 50.2 FPPG in his last 10 games and Paul is averaging 45.75 FPPG in his last nine games. Wall will meet the Raptors (12th against point guards) for the second time, when he shot 6-for-25 (24 percent) on his way to a 34.3 fantasy point performance. Paul hasn’t met the Hornets, who are eighth against point guards this season.
  • Lowry has been playing well as of late. He scored 46.3 fantasy points in his previous matchup with the Wizards, who rank 21st against point guards. Lowry should be a strong play if you want a cheaper option than Wall or Paul.
  • Jack is averaging 36.1 FPPG over his last three contests. He also netted himself 30.8 fantasy points in his previous meeting against the Magic this season. Jack is a cheaper option for a starting point guard and has played consistently well all season.
