Top Four PGs

  1. Russell Westbrook (Thunder) – $11,000 vs. Wizards (14th)
  2. Kyle Lowry (Raptors) – $8,700 @ Nuggets (25th)
  3. Reggie Jackson (Pistons) – $7,000 @ Nets (22nd)
  4. Kyrie Irving (Cavaliers) – $6,600 @ Pacers (11th)

Rationale:

  • Westbrook notched a triple-double and scored 57.8 fantasy points in his first meeting with the Wizards. Over the last week (four games) he’s scoring 58.9 FPPG, and has a triple-double and three double-doubles in that span.
  • Lowry scored 47.5 fantasy points against the Nuggets in his last meeting with them. He did so on a 4-for-16 shooting night, a shooting night he will likely improve on. He has one double-double in his last week (four games) and is scoring 42.4 FPPG in that span.
  • Jackson is scoring 34.4 FPPG in two meetings with the Nets this season. He’s excelled against the last two weak teams (Jazz and 76ers), scoring 39.4 FPPG against them. More can be expected against the Nets, who are weak at the point guard position.
  • Irving is playing well since Tyronn Lue‘s up-tempo adjustment. In four wins since the coaching change, he’s scoring 31.8 FPPG. He scores 2.1 FPPG better on the road than at home.
