POINT GUARD:

Chris Paul (LAC) – $9,800

Opponent – Sacramento Kings
Average for season – 38.5 Fantasy Points

Ish Smith (PHI) – $5,900

Opponent – Portland Trailblazers
Average for season – 25.1 Fantasy Points
Average for last 3 – 42.1 Fantasy Points

Smith is currently the go-to guy in Philly and he will have the ball in his hands for a large percentage of the game.

Mario Chalmers (MEM) – $5,000

Opponent – New York Knicks
Average for season – 19.8 Fantasy Points
Average for last 3 – 34.9 Fantasy Points

If Conley sits again Chalmers is a good chance to go off like he did last game (45.6 Fantasy Points).

Opponent – Detroit Pistons
Average for season – 29.6 Fantasy Points

Lou Williams (LAL) – $6,400

Opponent – Utah Jazz
Average for season – 23.9 Fantasy Points
Average for last 3 – 33.2 Fantasy Points

Has had three 20+ Fantasy Point games in his last five games which is great value for his price.
