Top Four Point Guards

  1. Damian Lillard ($9,600) vs. Houston Rockets
  2. John Wall ($8,900) vs. New York Knicks
  3. Sergio Rodriguez ($5,000) vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
  4. Tyler Johnson ($5,000) vs. Milwaukee Bucks

Rationale:

  • For the first time all season, Washington point guard John Wall played fewer than 30 minutes in preparation to play on consecutive nights all season. The Wizards have been cautious in overextending Wall after he underwent surgical procedures on both knees during the summer. Even though he played just 23 minutes against the 76ers Wednesday night, Wall still poured in 27 points and went to the free throw line a season-high 12 times.
  • The status of Heat guard Goran Dragic is uncertain for Thursday night, but if he is unable to go, Tyler Johnson becomes a strong value play in FanDuel NBA tournaments. Johnson has displayed accuracy from all over the court, ranking 11th among all back court players in field goal percentage, converting 47.5 percent of his field goal attempts and knocking down 44.4 percent of his 3-point attempts, tying him for the 16th best percentage in the NBA. In addition to his potent scoring, Johnson is grabbing 4.5 rebounds a night to accompany his 13.1 points per game.
