Top Four PGs

  1. Russell Westbrook (Thunder) – $10,800 vs. Rockets (27th)
  2. Damian Lillard (Trail Blazers) – $9,300 vs. Hornets (17th)
  3. Reggie Jackson (Pistons) – $7,000 vs. Cavaliers (3rd)
  4. Ricky Rubio (Timberwolves) – $6,200 @ Jazz (10th)

Rationale:

  • Westbrook scored 55 fantasy points in his first meeting with the Rockets. He only got to the free throw line twice in that game, and turned the ball over seven times. Both hurt his fantasy value, though he did have 11 assists and eight rebounds.
  • Lillard only scored 40.5 fantasy points against the Hornets. He scored 23 points on a 9-for-25 shooting night, including a 1-for-9 three-point shooting. Lillard shoots much better on his home court and should have an even bigger night on Friday.
  • Jackson has stepped up after a lowly January by scoring 56 points in his last two games. He scored 50 fantasy points against the Cavs in their first meeting and the up-tempo style the Cavs like to play will help him. He also is a much better shooter at home.
  • Rubio is a fantasy stat sheet stuffer and did just that against the Jazz in their first meeting. He scored 45 fantasy points thanks to a 10-point, 17-assist performance. He should have another strong game against Raul Neto and the Jazz.
