Top Four Point Guards

  1. Chris Paul ($9,300) vs. Phoenix Suns
  2. Eric Bledsoe ($7,400) vs. L.A. Clippers
  3. Dennis Schroder ($6,300) vs. Sacramento Kings
  4. Emmanuel Mudiay ($5,900) vs. Toronto Raptors

Rationale:

  • The first two games from Eric Bledsoe produced very similar results. After posting 16 points, six rebounds and five assists in the season opener, Bledsoe followed that up with 17 points, six assists and five rebounds in Oklahoma City. Few players are capable of producing five rebounds and five assists on a nightly basis, giving Bledsoe a high value in any daily FanDuel NBA lineup.
  • The Hawks may need Dennis Schroder to start calling his own number a little more frequently. Through two games, Schroder has attempted just 19 shots, the third most on the team. Atlanta has still managed to score 109 points per game, even with Schroder producing just 12.5 points a night. While he has been a bit hesitant to shoot the ball, Schroder is coming of an 11 assist performance, matching the highest total of his career.
