Top Four Point Guards

  1. Russell Westbrook ($11,500) vs. Indiana Pacers
  2. Kyle Lowry ($8,300) vs. Sacramento Kings
  3. Darren Collison ($5,800) vs. Toronto Raptors
  4. Rajon Rondo ($5,500) vs. Los Angeles Lakers

Rationale:

  • Kyle Lowry leads the NBA in minutes played per game, at 38.7, but unfortunately, that exact figure is also his shooting percentage from the field. The All-Star guard has been able to supplement his value in FanDuel NBA play by setting up his teammates for scoring opportunities. Lowry is dishing out a career-high 7.3 assists per game and has handed out at least five in each of his past eight appearances.
  • An ankle sprain held out Chicago guard Rajon Rondo for two games, but in his first game back, he flirted with a triple-double. During a 35-minute stint against the Clippers Saturday night, Rondo totaled 10 rebounds, nine points, eight assists and two steals. Even though his assist average has fallen dramatically, from a league-best 11.7 per game down to 6.6 this year, Rondo is a viable FanDuel NBA value play because he has handed out five or more assists in 10 of his 11 appearances.
