The 5 Best Point Guards to Target in Daily Fantasy Basketball Cash Games
3. Tyler Johnson, Miami Heat
Tyler Johnson is a bit of anomaly when it comes to cash game options, as he is the only one of our top five not to start a single game all year. Despite coming off the bench for all 49 games, the third-year guard has averaged over 30 minutes per game this season.
Johnson's averages of 13.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game showcase his ability to contribute in multiple categories, allowing him to collect fantasy points at a consistent rate
| Player | Games | Games ≥ 4.5X | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tyler Johnson | 49 | 30 | 61.20% |
Johnson has scored double-digit points in 39 of 49 games this season, but he has managed to reach 4.5 FanDuel points per $1,000 four times in those 10 single-digit nights.
Unlike Beverley, though, Johnson has scored 20 or more real-life points six times this season, leading him to reach 5.5 FanDuel points per $1,000 17 times, making him the only point guard to rank in the top five for both cash games and tournaments.
While his price tag has been between $4,200 and $6,400 throughout the season, Johnson has an average cost of $5,900 since the start of 2017. Even at that price, he has averaged 26.6 FanDuel points per night, which is exactly 4.5 FanDuel points per $1,000.
