Top Four Shooting Guards

  1. Giannis Antetokounmpo ($10,300) vs. Brooklyn Nets
  2. Nicolas Batum ($6,500) vs. Dallas Mavericks
  3. Klay Thompson ($6,100) vs. Houston Rockets
  4. Sean Kilpatrick ($5,700) vs. Milwaukee Bucks

Rationale:

  • The Warriors have won 12 consecutive games, no coincidence that the shots have been falling from Klay Thompson during the streak. The two time All-Star has connected 3.4 times from 3-point range, up from his season average of 2.8 conversions, and is averaging 23.1 points per game, 2.4 more than his average for the year. Thompson is shooting a career-high 47.7 percent from the field, even as his 3-point shooting of 36.5 percent from beyond the arc, the worst percentage of his six-year career.
  • Ever since he was limited to three points on 1-of-9 shooting from the field against Portland, Nets guard Sean Kilpatrick has been one of the most potent scorers in the league. Over the past four games, Kilpatrick is averaging 24.8 points per game and is coming off the finest performance of his career. During an overtime victory against the Clippers, Kilpatrick totaled 38 points, 14 rebounds and four conversions from 3-point range, all career highs.
