Top Four SGs

  1. Khris Middleton (Bucks) – $6,800 @ Hornets
  2. Lou Williams (Lakers) – $6,400 @ Jazz
  3. J.J. Redick (Clippers) – $5,200 vs. Kings
  4. Avery Bradley (Celtics) – $5,200 @ Wizards

Rationale:

  • Middleton scored 40.8 fantasy points in his first meting with the Hornets. He’s scoring 37.8 FPPG in his last six games. He’ll have tired legs on a back-to-back, but is playing against the fourth-worst team against shooting guards.
  • Williams scored 38.5 fantasy points in his first contest against the Jazz. He’s playing well as of late, scoring 37.7 FPPG in his last five games. He’s called on to score for the Lakers and should do just that, despite playing the second-best team against shooting guards.
  • Redick is playing in a high-scoring game and could have a big game. He’s averaging 24.5 FPPG over his last seven games. The Kings are worst against shooting guards this year.
  • Bradley has averaged 21.0 FPPG in two meetings with the Wizards. He’s coming off of a 34.25 fantasy point performance against the Suns where he shot 33.3 percent from the field. The Wizards are second-worst against shooting guards.
