Top 4 Small Forwards

  1. LeBron James ($11,400) vs. San Antonio Spurs
  2. Otto Porter Jr. ($7,500) vs. Philadelphia 76ers
  3. Kyle Anderson ($5,300) vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
  4. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist ($3,900) vs. Detroit Pistons

Rationale:

  • Otto Porter Jr. has shot 50 percent or better from the field six times in the past seven games for the Washington Wizards. The high shooting percentage has paved the way to him averaging 17.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, elevating his status as the third-most expensive small forward available in FanDuel NBA tournament play for Sunday’s five-game slate.
  • The San Antonio Spurs will need Kyle Anderson to contribute much more if the team is going to snap its four-game losing streak Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Last month, the Spurs managed to top Cleveland as Anderson totaled 10 points, 12 rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block, enough for 37.9 fantasy points in FanDuel NBA tournament play. San Antonio expects to play the remainder of the season without Kawhi Leonard, meaning Anderson will have to elevate his production if he wants to remain in the starting lineup.
