Top 4 Shooting Guards
- James Harden ($12,100) vs. Orlando Magic
- Gary Harris ($7,100) vs. San Antonio Spurs
- D’Angelo Russell ($4,700) vs. New York Knicks
- Bryn Forbes ($4,100) vs. Denver Nuggets
Rationale:
- Three consecutive 50 fantasy point performances has increased the cost of James Harden for FanDuel NBA rosters from $10,300 to $12,100 in a span of just eight days. In between, Harden has posted averages of 25 points, 10.7 assists, 6.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. The Houston Rockets boast the second-highest scoring average and the second-most efficient offense in the league, allowing Harden plenty of opportunities to tack on points and assists.
- Danny Green remains entrenched in the starting lineup for the San Antonio Spurs, but Bryn Forbes appears to be in line for the bulk of the minutes. Sunday against the Kings, the 6’3″ guard spent a team-high 28 minutes on the floor, enabling him to submit the finest performance of the year. Forbes scored a season-high 23 points as he connected on 5-of-8 attempts and added three rebounds and two assists. In each of the last five contests, Forbes has averaged 24.3 minutes a game, 1.4 more than Green. If the trend continues, Forbes becomes a perfect sleeper target for FanDuel NBA rosters.
