Top Four Point Guards

  1. Russell Westbrook ($12,600) vs. Boston Celtics
  2. Stephen Curry ($9,300) vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
  3. Reggie Jackson ($5,700) vs. Philadelphia 76ers
  4. Brandon Jennings ($4,900) vs. Los Angeles Lakers

Rationale:

  • Russell Westbrook is closing in on NBA history. After becoming the first player since Michael Jordan in 1989 to record seven consecutive triple-doubles, Westbrook is two games away from matching Wilt Chamberlain’s record of nine straight triple-doubles. Westbrook is averaging 28.9 points, 13.6 rebounds and 13.0 assists per game during his seven-game run and simply needs to be included in any FanDuel NBA lineup.
  • Even though Brandon Jennings is playing nine fewer minutes than the starting point guard, Derrick Rose, in New York, he enters the 24th game of the season as the team leader in assists. The 5.2 assists per game ranks as the 23rd most in the NBA and his assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.67 is the 19th best in the league.
