Top Four Shooting Guards

  1. DeMar DeRozan ($7,900) vs. Denver Nuggets
  2. Dwyane Wade ($6,900) vs. Brooklyn Nets
  3. Will Barton ($5,300) vs. Toronto Raptors
  4. Sean Kilpatrick ($4,000) vs. Chicago Bulls

Rationale:

  • DeMar DeRozan has emerged as the most vital part of the Raptors offensive attack. After two games, DeRozan has taken 31.3 percent of the total shots for Toronto. The results have been a 40-point outing against the Pistons and 32 points against Cleveland. The 36 points per game from DeRozan are the third most in the league, and Toronto will keep giving him shot opportunities as long as he continues to convert 52.7 percent of his attempts.
  • A strained hamstring has forced starting shooting guard Randy Foye to miss the first three games of the season, opening minutes for numerous players. For any FanDuel NBA daily player, Sean Kilpatrick has emerged as an intriguing option for a very small price. Kilpatrick followed up an 18-point performance against Indiana with 15 points Saturday night in Milwaukee. The scoring and 3-point shooting of Kilpatrick makes him worth a flier for a star-studded FanDuel NBA lineup.
