Top Four Shooting Guards

  1. James Harden (11,700) vs.Charlotte Hornets
  2. Bradley Beal ($6,900) vs. Chicago Bulls
  3. Klay Thompson ($6,400) vs. Miami Heat
  4. Gerald Green ($3,500) vs. Toronto Raptors

Rationale:

  • Opponents have simply run out of ways to stop Washington guard Bradley Beal. During his last four games, Beal has poured in 25 points a night on 48 percent shooting from the field and has connected a total of 15 times from 3-point range. Beal has upped his scoring average from a year ago by nearly five points, averaging a career-high 22.2 points per game, the fourth highest among all shooting guards in the NBA.
  • A strained Achilles tendon will keep starting shooting guard Avery Bradley out of the lineup Tuesday night against Toronto. Boston has slowly began to entrust more minutes to Gerald Green, and while he may not get the starting nod, he has been very productive off the bench. In his last game, Green totaled 15 points, connecting on 2-of-3 shots from 3-point range and knocking down all seven of his free throw attempts in less than 16 minutes during a victory over the Pelicans.
