Top Four PGs

  1. Russell Westbrook (Thunder) – $10,600 @ Knicks
  2. Chris Paul (Clippers) – $9,700 @ Pacers
  3. Rajon Rondo (Kings) – $8,400 @ Trail Blazers
  4. Ish Smith (76ers) – $7,400 vs. Suns

Rationale:

  • Westbrook and Paul both have favorable matchups. Westbrook scored 62.8 fantasy points against the Knicks (16th vs. point guards) and has scored 50-plus fantasy points in four of his last five games. Paul has not played the Pacers (11th), but has been hot, scoring 51.4 FPPG in his last 10.
  • Rondo is a walking double-double, including an assists and rebounds double-double on Monday. He scored 40.8 fantasy points in a prior meeting with Portland (fourth). He has three double-doubles and two triple-doubles in his last five games and is scoring 45.2 FPPG in that span.
  • Smith will meet the Suns (30th) for the fifth time. He’s already averaging 34.1 FPPG against them and with Brandon Knight out, according to Paul Coro, Smith is set-up nicely for a big game.
