Real Deal Bradley Beal

Through 11 games this season, Wizards guard Bradley Beal ranks ninth in scoring at 25 points per game, and his shooting percentage (49 percent) is best amongst the league’s top scoring guards, ahead of James Harden, Damian Lillard, and Stephen Curry.

Amongst FanDuel shooting guards this season, only The Beard is averaging more fantasy points per game and for a considerably higher price tag. Meanwhile, Beal has reached at least five-times value in six games this year, including three games of at least six-times value.

He’s yet to ignite any 50-point explosions like those of Khris Middleton, Victor Oladipo, or DeMar DeRozan, so despite his ability to fill it up as a reliable bucket-getter, Beal remains most attractive in cash games on most nights.

Anything below the $8,000 mark is worthy of some attention. Anything above that requires due diligence and a gauge on available options on the rest of the slate.

Next week, Beal and the Wiz are set to take on the Atlanta Hawks, the Sacramento Kings, and the Miami Heat.
