Top Four SGs

  1. Andrew Wiggins (Timberwolves) – $6,600 vs. Thunder (15th)
  2. Rodney Hood (Jazz) – $5,900 vs. Hornets (27th)
  3. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (Pistons) – $5,700 vs. 76ers (20th)
  4. Devin Booker (Suns) – $5,500 @ Cavaliers (13th)

Rationale:

  • Wiggins is scoring 32.8 FPPG in his first two meetings with the Thunder this season. He’s played consistently around his season average as of late. In his last four games, he’s averaging 32.3 FPPG.
  • Someone has to score for the Jazz and Hood took over against the Pistons. He only had 25 fantasy points in his previous meeting with Charlotte, but he shot 4-for-17 in that contest. Surely, Hood will shoot better and more than exceed his season average.
  • Caldwell-Pope scored 25 fantasy points in his first meeting with the Sixers this season. His consistency in his last six games should contribute to return, and perhaps exceed value. He’s scoring 29.7 FPPG over his last six contests.
  • Booker only had 16.8 fantasy points in his first meeting with the Cavs. However, he’s taken on the scoring load with Brandon Knight out. He’s scoring 30.1 FPPG in his last four games.
