 Top Four Point Guards

  1. Damian Lillard ($9,700) vs. Memphis Grizzlies
  2. Isaiah Thomas ($8,100) vs. Denver Nuggets
  3. Mike Conley ($7,000) vs. New York Knicks
  4. D’Angelo Russell ($6,100) vs. Phoenix Suns

Rationale:

  • For the first time in 642 career appearances, Memphis point guard Mike Conley managed to post 30 points and 10 assists in the same game. Conley managed the feat while playing against Chris Paul, an even impressive performance when his zero turnovers are factored in, especially against the NBA’s league leader in steals. For the year, Conley is quietly submitting a nice FanDuel NBA resume, averaging 21.8 points, 6.6 assists and connecting on 59.3 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc. The 16 made 3-point field goals from Conley ranks as the eighth-most in the NBA.
  • D’Angelo Russell appeared to have snapped out of his shooting slump with a pair of impressive performances in his last two appearances. During victories over Atlanta and Golden State, Russell is averaging 20 points on 46.7 percent shooting, after posting 15 points on 33.3 percent shooting to begin the season. Russell has registered at least one steal in five of his six games played and rejected a career-high three shots against the Hawks, a nice bonus for FanDuel NBA players.
