Top Four Shooting Guards

  1. DeMar DeRozan ($9,000) vs. Miami Heat
  2. C.J. McCollum ($7,800) vs. New York Knicks
  3. Devin Booker ($6,900) vs. Brooklyn Nets
  4. Courtney Lee ($4,700) vs. Portland Trail Blazers

Rationale:

  • C.J. McCollum steadily provides lofty FanDuel NBA scoring numbers for a reasonable roster price. The 6-foot-4 guard has averaged 22.5 points per game on 49.2 percent shooting from the field during March and has been nearly automatic from the free throw line. McCollum is shooting 90.4 percent at the foul line this season, the fifth highest average in the league this season.
  • The price of Devin Booker in FanDuel NBA lineups may be dropping rapidly as his sophomore season comes to a close. Over his past three games, Booker has averaged 13.3 points per on 23.6 percent shooting from the field. Despite the shooting slump, Booker is still the most consistent scoring threat on the Suns roster, averaging 20.8 points per game. The 20-year-old guard is slated to become just the 21st player in league to connect 125 or more times from 3-point range in a single season before the age of 21.
