Top 4 Shooting Guards

  1. James Harden ($11,400) vs. Milwaukee Bucks
  2. C.J. McCollum ($7,100) vs. Charlotte Hornets
  3. Nicolas Batum ($6,000) vs. Portland Trail Blazers
  4. Dion Waiters ($5,300) vs. L.A. Clippers

Rationale:

  • The NBA’s leading scorer at 31.5 points per game has yet to be held under 20 points this season. In 27 appearances, James Harden has scored less than 25 points on just four occasions, but has topped 40 or more points three times. In 15 career games against Milwaukee, Harden is shooting 53.3 percent from the field and 45.3 percent from 3-point range — both marks are his highest against an opponent.
  • Success in FanDuel NBA play is all about finding players on a hot streak that are undervalued. C.J. McCollum is valued at just $400 above an average player, but he is scoring 24.3 points on 50.7 percent shooting from the field, with four straight 20-point performances and he has shot above 50 percent from the field three times.
