Top Four Point Guards

  1. Kemba Walker ($8,000) vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
  2. Kyrie Irving ($7,300) vs. Charlotte Hornets
  3. Elfrid Payton ($5,400) vs. Denver Nuggets
  4. Patrick Beverley ($4,900) vs. Dallas Mavericks

Rationale:

  • Even with a career-low in steals per game, at 0.6, and just one double-double this season, Kyrie Irving remains an elite point guard in FanDuel NBA play. Irving has been able to supplement his value by becoming an efficient scorer, averaging career-highs with 24.3 points per game, 48.7 percent shooting from the field (second best among all point guards) and 42.4 percent from three-point range.
  • In the two games following his career-high 25 point outburst against Washington, Elfrid Payton has totaled just 18 points over his next two games. Payon’s career night against the Wizards, as he added nine assists, three steals and three blocks (another career-high) showcased the total impact he can make for Orlando.
