The 5 Best Point Guards to Target in Daily Fantasy Basketball Tournaments
3. Eric Bledsoe, Phoenix Suns
Eric Bledsoe is one of those rare players who is capable of dropping a 60-plus fantasy point night -- which he has done twice -- without costing you an arm and a leg.

Thanks to a subpar first five weeks of the season, in which he averaged just 18.8 real-life points per game, Bledsoe's price tag remained under $8,000 until December. It didn't eclipse the $9,000 mark until late January, leaving him as one of the most explosive options in DFS tournaments. In fact, even in the nine games his price tag has been $8,800 or more, Mini-LeBron owns three games with at least 5.5 FanDuel points per $1,000.
With 20 games of less than 4 FanDuel points per $1,000, Bledsoe has bombed out quite a few times this season, making him a bit untrustworthy for cash games.
The real fluctuation has been in his real-life scoring. In 10 of the 11 games he has scored at least 30 points, the Phoenix Suns' point guard has reached 5.5 FanDuel points per $1,000 with an average of 52.5 FanDuel points in said games. On the flipside, when he has limited to less than 20 real-life points in a game, which has happened 25 times, Bledsoe has zero games with 5.5 FanDuel points per $1,000.
