As when the All-Star Starters were announced, I picked the snubs immediately after in FanDuel contests because of their propensity to show up big after being let down. I'm playing the same game with two great guards who were not named to their respective conferences All-Star teams. The choice between these two for your FanDuel contests come down to your volatility tolerance. Lillard is averaging a woeful 32 FFPG over his last five, but that sample includes a blowout to the Sixers where he only played 30 minutes of uninspired basketball. He has a lower ceiling in the matchup against Kemba tonight, be he probably has the safer floor as Kemba is having concerning shooting woes over the last five. In that span, Kemba is averaging an impressive 42 FFPG, but that sample includes an overtime and double overtime contest. If it weren't for that additional run, Kemba's numbers would be lower. Regardless, he offers the more explosive upside as of right now, so the choice between these two elite fantasy guards is up to the owner's risk tolerance. Both of these defenses struggle to guard opposing guards, so look for both to have a good game.
