Top Four SGs

  1. DeMar DeRozan (Raptors) – $8,300 vs. Wizards
  2. C.J. McCollum (Trail Blazers) – $7,300 vs. Kings
  3. Dwyane Wade (Heat) – $6,500 @ Nets
  4. Devin Booker (Suns) – $5,400 @ 76ers

Rationale:

  • DeRozan is playing the Wizards (29th vs. shooting guards), a team he’s played well this season. He’s scored 43.9 FPPG in three meetings and is on a roll offensively. He’s scored 30 points in three of his last four games, leading to three performances of 40-plus fantasy points.
  • McCollum torched the Kings (30th) for 74.3 fantasy points in their first meeting. He’s had back-to-back 39.25-fantasy point performances and should continue to play well on Tuesday.
  • Wade has looked like his vintage self the past two games. He’s scoring 38.75 FPPG in that span, including a game-winning shot against the Bulls. He’s had success against the Nets (17th) and is scoring 39.1 FPPG in two meetings this season.
  • Booker has answered the bell in his last three games, scoring 30.8 FPPG. He scored 21.8 fantasy points in his previous meeting with the 76ers (20th) but did so in fewer minutes than what he’s been playing due to the Suns’ injuries.
