The 5 Best Point Guards to Target in Daily Fantasy Basketball Tournaments
Which point guards have been the most valuable boom-or-bust DFS options so far this season?

4. Dennis Schroder, Atlanta Hawks

After the offseason trade of the last guy, Teague, Dennis Schroder has taken off from a fantasy perspective in his first year the starting point guard for the Atlanta Hawks. Averaging 17.5 points and 6.3 assists per game, Schroder has been a solid cash-game play, too, turning in at least 4.5 FanDuel points per $1,000 in 33 games (58.9%).

However, the erratic nature of his scoring -- eight games with at least 25 real-life points but seven with nine or less -- has made the German-born point guard more of a tournament play. Just three weeks ago, Schroder dropped an 8.9-fantasy-point stinker in a plus matchup with the Houston Rockets, but he came out with a season-high 48.0-FanDuel-point explosion just six days later.

Schroder's price tag has been reasonable this season. He has ranged anywhere from $5,300 to $7,300, making him an excellent mid-to-low range point guard option to target in your tournament games.
