Top Four PGs

  1. Kemba Walker (Hornets) – $8,300 @ Thunder
  2. Reggie Jackson (Pistons) – $7,200 @ Rockets
  3. Kyle Lowry (Raptors) – $8,800 vs. Celtics
  4. Isaiah Thomas (Celtics) – $7,900 @ Raptors

Rationale:

  • Walker is coming off of a career-high 52 points. He also scored 51.3 fantasy points in his first game against the Thunder. He scored 32 against OKC in that meeting, and will need to have another good game for the Hornets’ sake. The Thunder are 18th against point guards.
  • Jackson scored 53.8 fantasy points against the Rockets earlier this year. He should be the focal point of the gameplan with Houston’s struggles against point guards. The Rockets are 25th against point guards.
  • Lowry scored 44.8 fantasy points in their first meeting with the Celtics. He shot 27.3 percent in that game. Despite the Celtics ranking fourth against point guards, Lowry is playing well, scoring 48.2 FPPG in his last eight games.
  • Thomas scored 39.8 fantasy points previously against the Raptors. He hasn’t played consistently over his past several games, mixing the good and bad games. His prior success and playing against the 19th team against point guards makes him a top pick.
