The 5 Best Point Guards to Target in Daily Fantasy Basketball Cash Games
2. John Wall, Washington Wizards
When you pay around $10,000 for one player, you want to be able to plug them into your lineup and forget about them. That is exactly what you do with John Wall.
With averages of 22.8 points, 10.6 assists, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.1 steals per game, the Washington Wizards' point guard is averaging 45.2 FanDuel points per game. He has racked up 40 or more fantasy points 39 times, and he has only laid one egg this season -- still getting 27.1 FanDuel points in that contest.

On the season, Wall has racked up 35 double-doubles, the second-most for any point guard. Putting up big numbers in multiple categories -- especially assists, which pay 1.5 FanDuel points per occurrence -- makes it easy to accumulate enough points to achieve 4.5 FanDuel points per $1,000 in salary.
The trade off is that at a price tag of $10,800 -- Wall's season-high -- you aren't going to be pulling in too many nights of 5.5 FanDuel points per $1,000 as it would take nearly 60 fantasy points to do so. While Wall has two games with at least 60 fantasy points, he has only six games of 5.5 FanDuel points per $1,000, making him better suited for cash games.
