Top 4 Power Forwards

  1. Blake Griffin ($9,400) vs. Chicago Bulls
  2. Julius Randle ($7,900) vs. Memphis Grizzlies
  3. Bobby Portis ($6,800) vs. Detroit Pistons
  4. Dirk Nowitzki ($4,900) vs. Memphis Grizzlies

Rationale:

  • After flirting with a triple-double several times since joining the Detroit Pistons, Blake Griffin finally achieved the feat Thursday night against the Houston Rockets. In his 23rd career game with Detroit, Griffin posted 21 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, after falling just one rebound shy of a triple-double two nights before against the Phoenix Suns. Griffin has emerged as the primary playmaker for the Pistons, as his 61.7 passes per game tie him with Russell Westbrook for the seventh-most in the NBA.
  • Bobby Portis has poured in 15 or more points in each of the last seven games, while collecting seven or more rebounds five times for the Chicago Bulls as part of the stretch. During the run, Portis has emerged as a promising FanDuel NBA roster option, posting 17 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals per game, enough to generate over 25 fantasy points in each of the past seven games.
