Point Guard

Top Pick

Damian Lillard, Portland Trailblazers ($9,500)

The Denver Nuggets are a bottom-five defense against point guards which will allow Lillard to breakout after failing to reach 50 fantasy points in five games. He's had a few ho-hum games during that span, and although 50 fantasy points is high end of the spectrum, Lillard is one of the players we should expect that from against poor defenses. He's averaging 41.6 over the last 20 days, and is a top choice for guards.

Value Pick

Jrue Holiday, New Orleans Pelicans ($7,100)

Holiday is listed as probable this evening, but there isn't any worry about his status as he's logged consecutive games of 30 and 40 minutes respectively. He put in an average of 34 FPPG in those games and is one of the best mid-tier point guards available on any night. The Indiana Pacers rank as the ninth-worst defense against point guards, making Holiday a true value play on the evening.

Must Avoid

Rajon Rondo, Chicago Bulls ($6,000)

Rondo is still dealing with a sore ankle and missed the last game. He doesn't have an injury status for tonight, so assuming he plays, he's not a dependable option. Over the past three games, he's ranged from 37.5 to 14 fantasy points. The Bucks rank as the third-best defense against point guards, so there is little reason to believe Rondo will reward owners this evening.
