Top Four Point Guards

  1. Kyrie Irving ($9,000) vs. Denver Nuggets
  2. Kemba Walker ($7,700) vs. Orlando Magic
  3. Elfrid Payton ($7,100) vs. Charlotte Hornets
  4. Jeff Teague ($6,700) vs. Boston Celtics

Rationale:

  • Kemba Walker has a penchant for stellar FanDuel NBA performances against Orlando. Walker is dishing out 6.5 assists per game in 22 total appearances agains the Magic, matching his second highest output against a single opponent. During the three prior meetings with the division foe, Walker is averaging 19.7 points per game on 63.2 percent shooting from the field and has converted 47.1 of his attempts from beyond the arc.
  • Over the past eight games, Elfrid Payton has quietly been posting a near triple-double average. The 23-year-old guard is logging 12.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game, with three triple-doubles and three double-doubles during his torrid stretch. The scoring figures from Payton will always have a low ceiling, as he has attempted just two shots from beyond the arc, missing both, during the eight game run.
