Top 4 Shooting Guards

  1. DeMar DeRozan ($8,200) vs. Detroit Pistons
  2. D’Angelo Russell ($7,200) vs. Chicago Bulls
  3. Evan Fournier ($6,400) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
  4. Bogdan Bogdanovic ($5,400) vs. Minnesota Timberwolves

Rationale:

  • The Toronto Raptors had their seven-game win streak snapped Friday night by the Milwaukee Bucks despite an exceptional offensive effort from All-Star guard DeMar DeRozan. In 40 minutes, DeRozan totaled 33 points, eight rebounds, four assists and two steals, enough for 49.6 fantasy points in FanDuel NBA league play. DeRozan has scored 40 or more fantasy points five times in his past 10 games.
  • The Brooklyn Nets have adjusted their starting lineup to provide D’Angelo Russell more of an opportunity to contribute. By sliding Russell over to shooting guard and benching Quincy Acy, the Nets are allowing Russell to become a scorer off the ball. The tactic has worked, as Russell has posted 18.5 points, 6.0 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game for Brooklyn over the past four contests.
