Top 4 Shooting Guards

  1. James Harden ($10,400) vs. Golden State Warriors
  2. Khris Middleton ($7,400) vs. Philadelphia 76ers
  3. Andrew Wiggins ($6,000) vs. Toronto Raptors
  4. Wesley Matthews ($5,000) vs. Portland Trail Blazers

Rationale:

  • The Milwaukee Bucks are expected to be without All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo, significantly elevating the value of shooting guard Khris Middleton Saturday night. All season, Middleton has been one of the most consistent producers in FanDuel NBA leagues, totaling 35 or more fantasy points in FanDuel NBA leagues. Middleton has even submitted All-Star caliber averages this season, posting 20 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.9 made 3-point field goals and 1.3 steals per game.
  • Minnesota Timberwolves guard Andrew Wiggins leads the league with 47 games played, but he is still in search of his first double-double on the year. On New Year’s Day, Wiggins nearly accomplished the feat, totaling 21 points, nine rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block, but fell just shy of his first double-double since Nov. 17, 2016 against the Philadelphia 76ers. Playing in his hometown, Wiggins is looking to snap his 117-game streak without a double-double.
