Top Four Shooting Guards

  1. DeMar DeRozan ($8,800) vs. Sacramento Kings
  2. Avery Bradley ($6,800) vs. Denver Nuggets
  3. Devin Booker ($5,900) vs. Los Angeles Lakers
  4. Courtney Lee ($3,800) vs. Utah Jazz

Rationale:

  • The scoring figures for Devin Booker to start the start of the 2016-17 have been all over the place. He has scored less than 10 points once, less than 20 twice, tallied 21 points against Oklahoma City and is coming off a career-high 38 point performance during an overtime victory over the Pelicans. Booker connected on 13-of-23 attempts, including three shots from 3-point range, hit each of his nine free throw attempts, an incredible circus shot, and sent the game to overtime with a baseline jumper. Following an impressive preseason scoring performance, Booker increased his scoring average to 19.8 points per game.
  • Opponents have routinely conceded open looks to New York shooting guard Courtney Lee this season and he has quietly been one of the steadiest contributors on the team. In five games with the Knicks, Lee has scored over 15 points on three occasions, including an 8-for-10 shooting performance for 17 points in Chicago Friday night. Lee is shooting 53.3 percent from the field, 42.9 percent from 3-point range and is attempting 9.0 shots per game, the fourth most for New York this year.
