Top Four Shooting Guards

  1. Bradley Beal ($7,800) vs. Atlanta Hawks
  2. Nicolas Batum ($7,000) vs. Orlando Magic
  3. Avery Bradley ($6,500) vs. Indiana Pacers
  4. Evan Fournier ($5,500) vs. Charlotte Hornets

Rationale:

  • Washington has dropped each of its past two games while guard Bradley Beal has struggled with his shooting touch. Beal has made just 12-of-29 shot attempts over his past two games, totaling 37 points during the span. In his previous 13 games, Beal had scored 20 or more points and is averaging 23.1 points per game on the year. FanDuel NBA lineups could significantly benefit if Beal snaps out of his shooting slump Wednesday night against Atlanta, a team he torched for 28 points as he earned 14 trips to the foul line the last time the two teams met at the Verizon Center.
  • Avery Bradley has maintained his stature as one of the premier rebounding guards in the NBA all season. The 6-foot-2 guard is pulling down 6.2 missed shots per game, the fourth highest among all guards in the league (behind Russell Westbrook, James Harden and Nicolas Batum) and his average is 2.4 more than he has ever totaled during his first six seasons in the league. The nine rebound outing from Bradley Monday night against Washington marked his highest total in the past 11 games.
