Top Four Point Guards

  1. Russell Westbrook ($11,500) vs. Toronto Raptors
  2. Stephen Curry ($8,900) vs. Dallas Mavericks
  3. J.J. Barea ($5,700) vs. Golden State Warriors
  4. Sergio Rodriguez ($5,400) vs. Indiana Pacers

Rationale:

  • Any player coming off a record-setting long-range shooting performance should be strongly considered for a FanDuel NBA roster spot. Stephen Curry sank a league-high 13 shots from 3-point range Monday night against New Orleans, surpassing the record of 12 he shared with Donyell Marshall and Kobe Bryant. The NBA’s reigning scoring champion surpassed 30 points for the first time in the contest, as he torched the Pelicans for 46.
  • A move to the starting lineup, as J.J. Barea is filling in for an injured Deron Williams, has greatly benefited the Mavericks. During the past two games, Barea is averaging 22 points, 5.5 assists and 3.5 conversions from 3-point range. Without another viable point guard on the roster, minutes are plentiful for Barea, as exhibited by the 46 minutes he spent on the court against Milwaukee, helping Dallas secure its first win of the year, snapping a five game losing streak in the process.
