Top 4 Small Forwards

  1. LeBron James ($12,500) vs. Detroit Pistons
  2. Giannis Antetokounmpo ($11,300) vs. Indiana Pacers
  3. T.J. Warren ($6,700) vs. Miami Heat
  4. Rudy Gay ($4,400) vs. Memphis Grizzlies

Rationale:

  • The facts are simple: LeBron James has posted three triple-doubles in the past five games and is averaging 27.4 points, 11.6 rebounds and 10.8 assists a game. The statistical outburst has brought the career total for James to 68 triple-doubles, leaving him 10 behind Wilt Chamberlain for the fifth most all-time. James dominated the Detroit Pistons throughout his career, averaging 23.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game in 54 career appearances.
  • Sunday marked the fifth time this season Phoenix Suns forward T.J. Warren has erupted for more than 30 points. Warren poured in 35 points on 16-of-26 shooting from the field, but he provided very few other statistics. In 42 minuets, he pulled down four rebounds and failed to register an assist, steal or block. FanDuel NBA lineups can benefit from the scoring prowess of Warren, but should be careful considering he is averaging 5.1 rebounds a game and not much else.
