Top Four Shooting Guards

  1. Avery Bradley ($6,700) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
  2. Klay Thompson ($6,700) vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
  3. Zach LaVine ($6,100) vs. Golden State Warriors
  4. Brandon Knight ($4,500) vs. New Orleans Pelicans

Rationale:

  • In league history, a player has averaged 3.0 made three-point shots a night just 18 times. Klay Thompson is looking to join the elite company for the third time in his career. Through 24 contests, Thompson is at 2.9 made three-point field goals and is five away Sunday night in Minnesota, a team surrendering 9.4 made shots from beyond the arc, from averaging 3.0 for the season.
  • Brandon Knight may not be in the starting lineup for Phoenix, but he is still receiving steady playing time. In each of the past five games, Knight has spent at least 22 minutes on the court, resulting in 15.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 0.8 steals per game. In FanDuel NBA play, his averages have resulted in 25 or more points three times during the five-game stretch, making him an excellent value play.
