Top Four PGs

  1. Damian Lillard (Trail Blazers) – $9,200 vs. Lakers
  2. Rajon Rondo (Kings) – $8,400 vs. Pacers
  3. Mike Conley (Grizzlies) – $6,300 @ Timberwolves
  4. George Hill (Pacers) – $5,100 @ Kings

Rationale:

  • Lillard is scoring 55.8 FPPG in two games against the Lakers this season. He also averages 7.5 FPPG better at home than on the road. His price has decreased coming off of three bad games, but will bounce back against the second-worst team versus point guards.
  • Rondo has five triple-doubles this season, and was two rebounds away in his previous meeting with the Pacers. He scored 47.5 fantasy points in that game, thanks to 17 assists. Having a day off will benefit the Rondo against the fifth-best team against point guards.
  • Conley has looked good after overcoming an Achilles injury. He’s averaging 32.0 FPPG in two games since his return. He scored 36 fantasy points against the Wolves in a previous meeting with a 20-point, seven-assist performance. The matchup favors Conley against the 15th team against point guards.
  • Hill will play against the Kings on Saturday after missing a week due to the birth of his child, according to the Indy Star’s Candace Buckner. Hill scored 40.5 fantasy points in a previous meting with the Kings. He’ll need to be the scorer for the Pacers, who are playing on a back-to-back. The Kings are third-worst against point guards.
