Top 4 Point Guards

  1. Kyrie Irving ($8,200) vs. L.A. Clippers
  2. Dennis Schroder ($7,400) vs. Toronto Raptors
  3. Dennis Smith Jr. ($6,600) vs. Houston Rockets
  4. Jeff Teague ($6,000) vs. Portland Trail Blazers

Rationale:

  • Dennis Schroder has been taking exceptional care of the ball. Over his last 90 minutes played for the Atlanta Hawks, Schroder has totaled just three turnovers, including a 15-assist, zero-turnover performance against the Pelicans a week ago. Schroder has been the most consistent FanDuel NBA performer for the Hawks this season, leading the team in scoring and assists, while reducing his turnover average from 3.3 a game a year ago down to 2.6 this season.
  • Dallas Mavericks rookie point guard Dennis Smith Jr. has found his offensive touch over the past six games. During the stretch, he is averaging 20.2 points on 46 percent shooting from the field to go along with 4.8 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. The figures have enabled Smith to become one of the most reliable, low-cost performers in FanDuel NBA leagues, as he has scored 30 or more fantasy points five times during the six-game run. Smith has 13 total games with 30 or more fantasy points on the year.
