Top Four Point Guards

  1. Russell Westbrook ($11,800) vs. Los Angeles Lakers
  2. Damian Lillard ($9,000) vs. New York Knicks
  3. Derrick Rose ($5,800) vs. Portland Trail Blazers
  4. Rajon Rondo ($5,700) vs. Denver Nuggets

Rationale:

  • Derrick Rose has actively been seeking his own shots over the past three games. The 6-foot-4 guard has launched an average of 15.7 shots per game, up 1.2 from his season average, resulting in 18.7 points per game. Scoring easy points has been a struggle for Rose, as he has only one dunk of the season among his 82 converted shots. During his MVP season, Rose slammed the ball 43 times.
  • The assists and rebounds are beginning to pile up for Chicago guard Rajon Rondo. During the past four games, Rondo is averaging 9.5 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game, enough to average more than 22 fantasy points in FanDuel NBA leagues. The steady rebounding and assist production makes Rondo a viable value play for Tuesday night.
