Top Four Shooting Guards

  1. Giannis Antetokounmpo ($10,500) vs. Phoenix Suns
  2. Dion Waiters ($7,200) vs. Philadelphia 76ers
  3. Bradley Beal ($7,000) vs. New Orleans Pelicans
  4. Courtney Lee ($4,600) vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

Rationale:

  • An unexpected nine-game winning streak in Miami has been sparked by an even more unlikely source. Heat guard Dion Waiters has averaged 21.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, generating 33.5 FanDuel NBA tournament points during the run. Much of the success from Waiters has been predicated on his accuracy from three-point range, as he has connected an average of 2.7 times per game at a 49 percent clip.
  • Saturday night shouldn’t feel like another road contest for Washington guard Bradley Beal. During a 116-108 victory over the Lakers Thursday, Beal said the Verizon Center felt more like a home game for Los Angeles with the large contingency of Lakers fans. Beal has given Wizards fans plenty to cheer for this season, with career-high averages of 22 points and 3.6 assists per game, and he has been one of the most productive FanDuel performers at the shooting guard position.
