Top Four Shooting Guards

  1. James Harden ($12,500) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
  2. Giannis Antetokounmpo ($10,600) vs. Chicago Bulls
  3. Devin Booker ($7,600) vs. Charlotte Hornets
  4. Buddy Hield ($5,400) vs. L.A. Clippers

Rationale:

  • The assist totals from Rockets guard James Harden this season are simply incredible. Harden is on the way to his first career assist crown, averaging a league best 11.3 per game and has dished out 814 assists, 202 more than his previous career-high from last season. Harden has dished out 51 more assists than anyone else in the league and has tallied a double-digit assist total in seven consecutive games, making him a viable option for any FanDuel NBA lineup Sunday afternoon.
  • Milwaukee has climbed the standings in the Eastern Conference behind the exceptional play of its young star, Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks are tied with Atlanta for the fifth best record in the east, winning three straight games as Antetokounmpo has posted 29.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 steals per game  Last month, Antetokounmpo became the first Bucks player selected to an All-Star game since Michael Redd in 2003-04 and is posting the highest average on the team in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks per game.
