Top Four Power Forwards

  1. Paul Millsap ($7,500) vs. New York Knicks
  2. Kristaps Porzingis ($7,200) vs. Atlanta Hawks
  3. Thaddeus Young ($5,200) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
  4. Trevor Booker ($5,200) vs. Portland Trail Blazers

Rationale:

  • In each of the past two games, Paul Millsap has registered 39.1 points in FanDuel NBA tournament play. As the most expensive power forward option playing Sunday, Millsap also has the most dynamic ways to register points. Millsap is averaging 17.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.6 steals per game. Among all power forwards, Millsap ranks fourth in steals and fifth in assists.
  • Thaddeus Young has stolen the ball at least once in 12 of his 13 games played this season. At 1.5 steals per game, a total of 19 steals, Young has matched teammate Monta Ellis in steals during the first portion of the 2016-17 season. The value of Young in FanDuel NBA play is strictly as a value pick, because he is scoring just 10.5 points per game. Young has made the most of his 8.6 field goal attempts per game, as he is shooting 53.6 percent from the field and 42.9 percent from three-point range.
