Top Four Small Forwards

  1. Paul George, Indiana Pacers ($9,000) vs. Boston Celtics
  2. Otto Porter, Washington Wizards ($6,100) vs. Milwaukee Bucks
  3. Andrew Wiggins, Minnesota Timberwolves ($6,500) vs. Houston Rockets
  4. Gordon Hayward, Utah Jazz ($7,300) vs. Portland Trail Blazers

Rationale:

  • The Celtics are in the bottom third overall vs. 3s and PG-13 is averaging 26.0 PPG and 10.0 RPG against them, both of which are above his 24.2 PPG and 7.6 RPG for the season.
  • The Bucks are third-worst over their last 10 games vs. SFs and Porter is averaging 29.7 FPPG over his last four contests (decent for his cost).
  • Wiggins is averaging 38.9 FPPG over his last two outings and the Rockets are second most generous to his position over their past five games.
  • Portland is fifth-worst over their past 10 contests against SFs and Hayward has averaged 21.0 PPG in two meetings with them this season, which exceeds his 19.3 PPG overall.
