Top 4 Shooting Guards

  1. James Harden ($11,800) vs. Detroit Pistons
  2. Buddy Hield ($7,000) vs. Atlanta Hawks
  3. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope ($5,500) vs. New Orleans Pelicans
  4. Malik Monk ($4,300) vs. Memphis Grizzlies

Rationale:

  • The case for awarding the league’s MVP award to someone other than Houston Rockets guard James Harden is becoming increasingly difficult. Over the past five games, Harden has posted 32.0 points, 8.0 assists, 6.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game. Harden leads all players in scoring at 31.2 points per game and is 47 points away from his fifth season with at least 2,000 points — a feat only achieved by 16 other players in league history.
  • Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has managed to inflate his production in FanDuel NBA league play by becoming a consistent rebounder. Over the past six games, Caldwell-Pope has averaged 7.2 rebounds per game for the Los Angeles Lakers. For the year, Caldwell-Pope is averaging 5.5 rebounds a night, the most among all shooting guards in the league. His 340 total rebounds are the highest mark of his career.
