Top Four Shooting Guards

  1. DeMar DeRozan ($8,300) vs. Chicago Bulls
  2. Dwyane Wade ($6,500) vs. Toronto Raptors
  3. Avery Bradley ($6,300) vs. New Orleans Pelicans
  4. Buddy Hield ($4,200) vs. Boston Celtics

Rationale:

  • Dwyane Wade missed all five of his attempts from inside the arc Thursday night against the defending champion Cavaliers, but connected on 3-of-4 attempts from three-point range. Wade had been bothered by swelling in both knees, forcing him to miss Monday’s game against the Hornets, but he logged 27 minutes against Cleveland. For the year, Wade is averaging 31 points in FanDuel NBA tournament play, but hasn’t reached the mark in any of his last four games.
  • Consecutive 30-minute performances have propelled New Orleans guard Buddy Hield into strong consideration for FanDuel NBA lineups. During the two-game run, Hield has produced averages of 17.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists, while totaling eight made three-point field goals during the run. Hield has posted 29.2 FanDuel NBA tournament points over the past two outings, more than double his season average.
