Top Four SGs

  1. Dwayne Wade (Heat) – $6,900 vs. Warriors (28th)
  2. DeMar DeRozan (Raptors) – $7,300 vs. Timberwolves (10th)
  3. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (Pistons) – $5,100 vs. 76ers (76ers)
  4. Monta Ellis (Pacers) – $5,800 vs. Knicks (3rd)

Rationale:

  • Wade scored 48.8 fantasy points in his first meeting with the Warriors this season. He will need to score like he did in their first meeting, when he had 20 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds. It will be tough without Bosh, but Wade is still projected to score 40.1 fantasy points.
  • DeRozan scored 47.8 fantasy points in his first meeting with the Wolves this season. The majority of his fantasy points came from scoring 35. He’s projected to score 39.3 fantasy points.
  • Caldwell-Pope is scoring 23.8 FPPG in two meetings against the 76ers this season. He will be asked to play more minutes due to the losses of Anthony Tolliver and Stanley Johnson to injury. He’s projected to score 29.5 fantasy points.
  • Ellis has not played against the Knicks yet this season. He is averaging 18.7 points, 5.3 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game against the Knicks in his career. He’s projected to score 32.5 fantasy points.
