Top Four Shooting Guards

  1. James Harden ($12,600) vs. Charlotte Hornets
  2. C.J. McCollum ($8,200) vs. Boston Celtics
  3. Wesley Matthews ($5,800) vs. Utah Jazz
  4. Evan Fournier ($5,400) vs. Philadelphia 76ers

Rationale:

  • Even though C.J. McCollum is shooting an average of just 0.1 more field goal attempts, he has managed to increase his scoring average by 2.7 points a game from a year ago. In his fourth season, McCollum has added efficiency to his impressive scoring totals. McCollum is shooting 48.8 percent from the field, highest among shooting guards and converting 42 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc, both marking career-highs. The 6-foot-4 guard submitted 32 point on 11-of-19 shooting from the field in his last outing, making him a prime candidate for any FanDuel NBA roster.
  • Any FanDuel NBA roster in need of a scoring punch for a minimal amount should consider adding Magic guard Evan Fournier. The French guard has scored 20 or more points in 39 percent of his appearances this season, but didn’t manage to submit his first double-double until last Friday against Toronto. While Fournier may be limited in categories outside of points, he is the offensive focal point for the Magic, leading the team with 16.7 points per game and field goal attempts at 13.4 a night.
