Top 4 Shooting Guards
- Devin Booker ($7,800) vs. Portland Trail Blazers
- Jrue Holiday ($7,500) vs. Boston Celtics
- Gary Harris ($6,500) vs. Dallas Mavericks
- Evan Fournier ($5,400) vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
Rationale:
- Devin Booker has provided a scoring punch for the Phoenix Suns since returning from a strained left adductor muscle, even though he hasn’t been a precise shooter. The 21-year-old guard is averaging 25.6 points over the last nine games, even though he has converted just 40.4 percent from the field. Phoenix has been experimenting with Booker at the point guard position, a move that has resulted in 5.7 assists a game, significantly increasing his value in FanDuel NBA leagues.
- Surprisingly, the leading scorer for the Denver Nuggets isn’t Paul Millsap, Nikola Jokic or Jamal Murray, but instead Gary Harris. The fourth-year shooting guard out of Michigan State is posting a career-high 16.9 points a night and has elevated his game during the past 10 outings. Harris not only has connected at least once in each during the 10-game streak, but he is posting 19.2 points on 52.9 percent shooting from the field. Even with his sharpshooting, Harris remains a value play in FanDuel NBA tournaments with a salary of just $6,500.
