Top Four SGs

  1. James Harden (Rockets) – $10,100 vs. Wizards (29th)
  2. Monta Ellis (Pacers) – $6,800 vs. Nuggets (19th)
  3. Will Barton (Nuggets) – $5,900 @ Pacers (25th)
  4. Courtney Lee (Grizzlies) – $4,000 vs. Kings (30th)

Rationale:

  • Harden scored 70.8 fantasy points previously against the Wizards. He’s scoring 58.5 FPPG in his last six games and he has a favorable matchup.
  • Ellis scored 37 fantasy points the first time against the Nuggets. In a high-scoring game, he should bring another strong performance.
  • Barton hit the Pacers with a 36-fantasy point performance in their first meeting. He should have a good showing in a high-scoring game.
  • It’s a crap shoot at the shooting guard position. Lee plays against the worst team versus shooting guards. Play the matchup here, but there may be a better fit out there.
