Top 4 Small Forwards
- Jimmy Butler ($9,400) vs. Orlando Magic
- Harrison Barnes ($6,800) vs. Denver Nuggets
- Jaylen Brown ($5,500) vs. New Orleans Pelicans
- Josh Jackson ($5,200) vs. Portland Trail Blazers
Rationale:
- Over the past five games, Jimmy Butler has been doing it all for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Butler is posting 21 points, 6.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game while shooting 53.1 percent from the field. The excellent play of Butler, combined with the success of the Timberwolves in the standings, has even garnered the former Marquette star some consideration for the league’s MVP award. FanDuel NBA lineups appreciate the vast array of contributions Butler makes, as he is clearly the top small forward option available for Tuesday’s slate of games.
- Josh Jackson is proving he can deliver meaningful statistical lines when given consistent minutes. The Phoenix Suns have played the rookie out of Kansas over 30 minutes in each of the past two games, resulting in averages of 19 points, 8.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists a game. Jackson has also displayed his long range shooting ability, converting 5-of-12 attempts from 3-point range during the stretch. If the Suns continue to provide steady minutes for Jackson, he is a viable roster option for FanDuel NBA lineups.
