Top Four Point Guards

  1. Russell Westbrook ($12,400) vs. New York Knicks
  2. Mike Conley ($7,700) vs. New Orleans Pelicans
  3. Dennis Schroder ($6,500) vs. L.A. Clippers
  4. Darren Collison ($5,900) vs. Golden State Warriors

Rationale:

  • All Russell Westbrook needs to accomplish Wednesday night to head into the All-Star break with a triple-double average is dish out five assists against the Knicks. Westbrook has posted the most fantasy points in FanDuel NBA tournament play this season, while averaging a league-high 30.9 points, 10.4 rebounds and 10.1 assists per game. After just 56 appearances, Westbrook is just 42 rebounds away from matching his career-high output from a year ago.
  • Darren Collison has been piling up the points for Sacramento without significantly increasing his shot attempts. Over the last six games, Collison is posting 19.8 points per game, 6.1 above his season average, while launching 15.8 shots a night during his run. For the year, Collison is converting 48.4 percent of his attempts from the field, second highest among point guards, making him a viable value roster option in FanDuel NBA tournaments.
