Top Four Point Guards

  1. Russell Westbrook ($11,500) vs. Houston Rockets
  2. Eric Bledsoe ($7,500) vs. Denver Nuggets
  3. Darren Collison ($5,900) vs. San Antonio Spurs
  4. Sergio Rodriguez ($5,000) vs. Washington Wizards

Rationale:

  • The list of players averaging at least 15 points, five rebounds and five assists this season has been whittled down to seven. The only point guard averaging more than the 6.0 rebounds Eric Bledsoe has posted this season is Russell Westbrook. Despite his 6-foot-1 frame, Bledsoe has totaled 66 rebounds, the third-most on the Suns to go along with 18.4 points and 5.2 assists a night.
  • The Kings are desperate for a third scoring option to emerge alongside DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay. Darren Collison seems poised to fill the scoring void for Sacramento, as he posted 20 points in his first game back from suspension. No other player besides Gay or Cousins had previously reached 20 points scored in a single game this season and Collison managed the total in 37 minutes off the bench.
