Top Four Shooting Guards

  1. James Harden ($12,100) vs. Indiana Pacers
  2. Giannis Antetokounmpo ($10,900) vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
  3. Marcus Smart ($6,100) vs. Atlanta Hawks
  4. Tyreke Evans ($6,000) vs. Minnesota Timberwolves

Rationale:

  • The second night of back-to-back sets have been especially productive for Giannis Antetokounmpo this year. Milwaukee has played on consecutive nights 12 times this season, with Antetokounmpo logging impressive FanDuel NBA totals, with 22.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.3 steals per game. The first Buck to appear in an All-Star game since Michael Redd in 2004, Antetokounmpo is leading his team in points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals per game while ranking third in field goal percentage, converting 52.7 percent of his attempts from the field.
  • A shift back to the bench didn’t diminish the workload Boston continues to place on Marcus Smart. For the sixth consecutive game, Smart has spent over 30 minutes on the floor, resulting in averages of 15.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 3.2 steals per game. The massive steal figure is propped up by an eight steal effort against Philadelphia just prior to the All-Star break, the second highest steal total in the league this seaosn.
