Top Four PGs

  1. Damian Lillard (Trail Blazers) – $9,400 @ 76ers
  2. Chris Paul (Clippers) – $9,200 vs. Kings
  3. Isaiah Thomas (Celtics) – $8,000 @ Wizards
  4. Jeff Teague (Hawks) – $5,700 vs. Nets

Rationale:

  • Lillard is on fire, averaging 57.3 FPPG in his last five games. He torched the Nets Friday night and should have another strong outing against the 76ers, who are 19th against point guards.
  • Paul has scored 50-plus fantasy points in three of his last four games. He’s scoring 52.3 FPPG in his last five games. The Kings are third-worst against point guards this season.
  • Thomas is also playing well, scoring 43.9 FPPG in his last four games. Despite only scoring 33.6 FPPG in two meetings with the Wizards, Thomas has been playing consistently well. The Wizards are 16th against point guards.
  • Teague scored 33.3 fantasy points against the Nets in their first meeting. He has an advantage against the Nets, who turn to Shane Larkin at point guard following Jarrett Jack‘s injury. Brooklyn is 21st against point guards.
