Top Four Point Guards

  1. Stephen Curry ($9,200) vs. Houston Rockets
  2. Kemba Walker ($8,000) vs. Dallas Mavericks
  3. Goran Dragic ($6,800) vs. Utah Jazz
  4. George Hill ($6,300) vs. Miami Heat

Rationale:

  • Any time the Hornets are in desperate need of some points, the team just clears out and lets Kemba Walker create. The result has been 21 jumpers from 16 feet out to the 3-point line, with only one shot coming off an assist, at a conversion rate of 42.9 percent. Walker has become one of the premier crunch-time scorers in the league, averaging 4.9 points per game in late game situations, the sixth most in the NBA.
  • Miami has kept Goran Dragic on the floor for more than 72 minutes in the past two games, resulting in just one turnover during the span. While his play has been nearly flawless, an added bonus for a FanDuel NBA roster, Dragic has routinely generated points for the Heat, averaging 21.5 points, 12 assists, 2.5 rebounds and a steal per game. Dragic is averaging 6.6 assists per game, the second highest total of his career.
