Top Four PGs

  1. Kemba Walker (Hornets) – $8,600 @ Kings
  2. Rajon Rondo (Kings) – $8,500 vs. Hornets
  3. Jrue Holiday (Pelicans) – $6,400 vs. Rockets
  4. Elfrid Payton (Magic) – $6,300 @ Grizzlies

Rationale:

  • Walker had the best week in the NBA last week, headlined by a 52-point and a 40-point performance. He scored 65 fantasy points in his previous meeting with the Kings. He’s averaging 57.0 FPPG over the last week (four games) and plays against the third-worst team versus point guards.
  • Rondo has had a triple-double in each of his last two games, giving him sixth on the season. He scored 63 fantasy points previously against the Hornets and had 20 assists in that game. The Hornets are 14th against point guards.
  • Holiday only scored 19.5 fantasy points against the Rockets previously. He’s played well as of late though, scoring 33 FPPG over his last five contests. Assists have been the key to his fantasy success, averaging 8.2 per game during that stretch. The Rockets are 22nd against point guards.
  • Payton just missed a triple-double by one rebound his last time out against the Hornets. He’s played well in his last two games, scoring 43.6 FPPG during that span. The Grizzlies are 21st against point guards.
