Top 4 Power Forwards
- Draymond Green ($8,500) vs. L.A. Clippers
- Aaron Gordon ($7,600) vs. Milwaukee Bucks
- Ersan Ilyasova ($5,700) vs. Denver Nuggets
- Al-Farouq Aminu ($5,300) vs. Houston Rockets
Rationale:
- For the third straight year, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is averaging over 7.0 assists per game. In league history, only 10 players standing 6’7″ or taller have accomplished the feat, with only Reggie Theus, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and LeBron James reaching the mark more than twice. Green has registered 10 or more assists twice in the last three games, and is coming off a 26-point, 10-assist, five-rebound, three-block effort against the Denver Nuggets Monday night, enough for 54 fantasy points in FanDuel NBA tournament play.
- Any time there was a missed shot Monday night, the ball seemed to find its way into the hands of Atlanta Hawks forward Ersan Ilyasova. The 30-year-old forward collected 13 rebounds against the L.A. Clippers, with five coming on the offensive end of the floor. The lofty rebounding total is no fluke, as he is averaging 9.6 rebounds a night over the past seven games, with two double-digit rebounding efforts in the past three games.
