John Wall, PG, Washington Wizards

Price: $9,700

John Wall has been putting up big-time fantasy numbers lately and has become a real mainstay of this column. He ranks eighth in the league over the past month with 44.9 FanDuel points per game and is averaging a double-double, recording 19.9 points, 10.1 assists and 6.1 rebounds per game with a 28.1 percent Usage Rate.

The Sixers are playing some awful basketball this season, and that makes this a great matchup for Wall. Philly ranks 23rd with a 108.1 Defensive Efficiency and are giving up the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing point guards.

Wall does the bulk of his scoring from inside the arc, averaging only 4.4 three-point attempts per game, and that kind of offense has been especially effective against Philadelphia, who is giving up the fourth highest field goal percentage on two-pointers this year.

As an added bonus, the Wizards rank fifth and the 76ers rank sixth in the league in Pace, and there should be plenty of possessions in this one, leading to tons of opportunities for Wall to rack up fantasy points.
