Top 4 Power Forwards

  1. Draymond Green ($8,100) vs. New York Knicks
  2. Aaron Gordon ($7,900) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
  3. Thaddeus Young ($6,800) vs. Dallas Mavericks
  4. Taj Gibson ($6,500) vs. Sacramento Kings

Rationale:

  • Orlando Magic head coach Frank Vogel lifted any minutes restriction placed on Aaron Gordon Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers. In his second game back from a hip flexor injury, Gordon totaled 20 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and a block in 31 minutes — seven additional minutes than he played Thursday against the New York Knicks. With Gordon playing for a massive contract extension this summer, he is worth consideration for FanDuel NBA leagues anytime he is in the lineup.
  • In his first game following the All-Star break, Indiana Pacers forward Thaddeus Young poured in 20 points on 9-of-16 shooting from the field, including a pair of conversions from 3-point range. Along with his scoring outburst, Young thrived in FanDuel NBA leagues by stealing the ball five times against the Atlanta Hawks, upping his total on the year to 94 and leaving him six shy of his seventh career 100-steal season.
