Bradley Beal, SG, Washington Wizards

FanDuel Price: $8,000

Bradley Beal has been on an impressive stretch since the All-Star break, averaging 28.2 actual points and 39.6 FanDuel points, without a single game under 30 FanDuel points since the break. He's now topped 20 real-life points in 10 of his past 11 games, with the one exception being a 19-point outing.

Tonight, his Washington Wizards have the highest implied team total (116.5 points) on the board as they take on the Phoenix Suns, who play at the league's third-fastest pace and rank 26th in defensive efficiency -- a recipe for fantasy goodness. The over/under in this one is set at 228 points, which is easily the highest on the slate.

Beal has played in just one game with an implied team total this high this season, but in games with an implied team total of at least 111 points, he has averaged 40.3 FanDuel points, up from 30.1 in all other games. In games with an over/under of at least 220 points, he has averaged 36.3 FanDuel points.

In addition to ranking 26th in defensive efficiency and allowing the fourth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing shooting guards, Phoenix has allowed a league-worst 38.4% three-point shooting this season. Beal has been a lethal weapon from beyond the arc over the past two months, launching 7.9 deep balls per game and hitting 43.7% of them.

Beal is the most expensive shooting guard on the slate for good reason. Be sure to keep an eye on his status leading up to tipoff, because he appeared to suffer a slight ankle injury in Washington's last game. Assuming his health checks out, Beal is in a great spot to keep producing.
