Top Four Point Guards

  1. Russell Westbrook ($12,600) vs. New Orleans Pelicans
  2. Chris Paul ($9,100) vs. Indiana Pacers
  3. Jrue Holiday ($7,100) vs. L.A. Clippers
  4. Darren Collison ($5,700) vs. New York Knicks

Rationale:

  • At this point, it is more shocking when Russell Westbrook finishes a game without a triple-double. Oklahoma City has won four consecutive games, all featuring a triple-double from Westbrook, as he has increased his season averages to 31.2 points, 11.3 assists and 10.5 rebounds per game.
  • The return of Jrue Holiday has rescued the season for the Pelicans. After beginning the year with a record of 2-10, New Orleans is now 7-13. Holiday has started each of the past two games for the Pelicans and has turned the ball over just three times in 58 minutes. Look for a strong assist performance from Holiday, as he has averaged 7.9 assists in 12 appearances against Oklahoma City, his second highest average against a single opponent.
