Top Four Point Guards

  1. Isaiah Thomas ($8,900) vs. Toronto Raptors
  2. Kemba Walker ($8,300) vs. Houston Rockets
  3. Dennis Schroder ($6,900) vs. Brooklyn Nets
  4. Goran Dragic ($6,900) vs. Golden State Warriors

Rationale:

  • Kemba Walker keeps making the case for his first All-Star appearance. For each of the past seven games, Walker has scored 18 or more points, averaging 26.2 points on 62.5 percent shooting from the field. The lofty scoring numbers have been accompanied by efficient shooting from all over the court, as Walker is shooting career-highs in field goal percentage (46.8 percent) and his 41.9 percent shooting from beyond the arc is 7.5 percent above his career average.
  • After missing consecutive games, Goran Dragic has been one of the most consistent performers for Miami. Over the past four games, Dragic has averaged 20.8 points, 6.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. The Heat has responded by extending his playing time, keeping him on the court for 32.8 minutes a night during the run. Against the Clippers Saturday night, Dragic played more than 42 minutes, his second-longest time on the court this year.
