Picks for Sunday 17th January 2016:

POINT GUARD:

Chris Paul (LAC) – $9,800

Opponent – Sacramento Kings
Average for season – 38.5 Fantasy Points
Average for last 3 – 49.2 Fantasy Points

Against the Fantasy-friendly Kings guards Paul should light it up and put up a big score.

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).

SHOOTING GUARD:

Klay Thompson (GSW) – $8,100

Opponent – Detroit Pistons
Average for season – 29.6 Fantasy Points
Average for last 3 – 23.9 Fantasy Points

Thompson has been quiet of late but it is only a matter of time before he has one of his high scoring games.

Lou Williams (LAL) – $6,400

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

Lou has been on an absolute tear in 2016 and he should continue his stellar form here against the Jazz.

Courtney Lee (MEM) – $4,200

Opponent – New York Knicks
Average for season – 17.1 Fantasy Points
Average for last 3 – 11.6 Fantasy Points

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

SMALL FORWARD:

Khris Middleton (MIL) – $7,400

Opponent – Charlotte Hornets
Average for season – 27.8 Fantasy Points
Average for last 3 – 32.0 Fantasy Points

Has been a great Fantasy play for a couple of weeks and will be again here against the Hornets.

Gordon Hayward (UTA) – $7,300

Opponent – Los Angeles Lakers
Average for season – 30.6 Fantasy Points
Average for last 3 – 37.7 Fantasy Points

Should continue his great current form for the under-manned Jazz against the struggling Lakers.

Robert Covington (PHI) – $4,200

Opponent – Portland Trailblazers
Average for season – 21.8 Fantasy Points
Average for last 3 – 21.4 Fantasy Points

Starting to hit form and get good minutes after a long lean patch. His price is great for his potential output.

Average for season – 20.2 Fantasy Points
Average for last 3 – 26.8 Fantasy Points

Starting to put up a decent output for the amount of minutes he receives.

CENTRE:

Andre Drummond (DET) – $9,400

Opponent – Golden State Warriors
Average for season – 41.9 Fantasy Points
Average for last 3 – 35.6 Fantasy Points

Will need to be huge for the Pistons if they are going to be competitive against the Warriors.

Marc Gasol (MEM) – $7,600

Opponent – New York Knicks
Average for season – 32.2 Fantasy Points
Average for last 3 – 33.4 Fantasy Points

Greg Monroe (MIL) – $7,600

Opponent – Charlotte Hornets
Average for season – 33.1 Fantasy Points
Average for last 3 – 39.3 Fantasy Points

Has been in rare form over his last three and should put in another big game against the weak Hornets frontcourt.
