Chauncey Billups, Denver Nuggets
During the regular season, Billups was very good. In the postseason, he’s taken his game up another level. He’s been simply amazing in his first two outings as a Nugget during the playoffs.

Rajon Rondo, Boston Celtics
Filling the void left by an injured Kevin Garnett is point guard Rajon Rondo. He’s a certifiable star at this point and his numbers in the fantasy world are just sick.

Tony Parker, San Antonio Spurs
Quietly, the Spurs have shifted to become Parker’s team. On a night to night basis, whether or not San Antonio has success is tied to Parker’s play.

Deron Williams, Utah Jazz
Williams has a difficult matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers but he’s done well in his first two outings. Returning to Utah for Game 3 and Game 4, he should be even better.

Chris Paul, New Orleans Hornets
Usually Paul is easily the best fantasy point guard in the NBA. In the playoffs he is struggling a little bit relatively speaking but his stats are still very, very good.

Beno Udrih, Sacramento Kings
The Kings gave a lot of reasons for why they traded Mike Bibby, but perhaps the biggest reason was because the team thinks it has found a better point guard in Beno Udrih. Udrih is a player who can score, pass and play a little defense. His stats should remain good until the end of the season, considering he’s playing for a contract right now.

Travis Diener, Indiana Pacers
Travis Diener is filling in for Jamaal Tinsley and is filling in nicely. While he’s not much of a defender, that doesn’t matter in fantasy basketball. Diener produces a decent number of points, assists and three-pointers made. He also does a good job of not turning the ball over much.

Earl Watson, Seattle Supersonics
After struggling with his shot horrifically for a stretch of games, Earl Watson as seemingly found his jumper once again. With his jumper returning to his repertoire, he’s now a much better fantasy basketball player. While the Sonics have a number of point guard options, it’s obvious that Watson is their best option at the moment.

Earl Boykins, Charlotte Bobcats
As I talked about in this blog entry, Boykins has a chance to be a very sneaky pickup this season. Considering he’s available in most leagues, picking up Boykins is the type of move that can really bolster your team. Boykins right now is working his way back into shape but if he can lock down a starting job, look for him to become a point guard who can put up good stats.

Louis Williams, Philadelphia 76ers
The closer the trade deadline comes, the more likely that Andre Miller will be traded. Once Miller is traded, Williams is expected to become the team’s starting point guard. Lately, Williams has increased his production from off the bench. Pick him up now and reap the rewards when Miller gets traded.

Travis Diener, Indiana Pacers
With Jamaal Tinsley struggling with injuries and off court issues, Diener is a player who could end up starting on a long-term basis. Diener isn’t a hugely skilled point guard but he can shoot the three and he can rack up assists. He’ll never be a great fantasy player but he can definitely but rosterable.

Javaris Crittenton, Memphis Grizzlies
Although Crittenton has Mike Conley and Kyle Lowry ahead of him in the rotation, he’s going to get some playing time for Memphis. Since Crittenton has good size, he could even buy time at shooting guard, especially since the Grizzlies play small most of the time anyways.

The Bobcats have Raymond Felton and Jeff McInnis, but neither has proven to be much of a point guard this season. Felton is being played more at shooting guard now, while McInnis has never been much of a fantasy player. Enter Boykins. If there’s on thing about Boykins, it’s that he is never afraid to take a shot. While he may be a tiny player, he has bigtime scoring skills.

It wouldn’t be a surprise at all to see Boykins in the starting lineup sooner than later. A backcourt of Felton and Boykins could give the Bobcats a lethal combination and allow both players to split the point guard responsibilities. McInnis would still have a role but it’d be reduced.

If you are in a large league or if you are looking to strike gold off of the waiver wire, consider picking up Boykins and hoping for the best.

2) Steve Nash, Phoenix Suns
As Nash ages, he seemingly just gets better. He’s getting to the age where a lot of players start to decline, but that decline hasn’t hit yet. Instead, he’s playing as good as or better than ever. His shooting is fantastic and all his other stats are very good.

3) Baron Davis, Golden State Warriors
Davis had his coming out party last year against the Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs. This year, he has continued to play at that level. Since Stephen Jackson has returned to the starting lineup, the Warriors have played much better and are now one of the hottest teams in the league.

4) Allen Iverson, Denver Nuggets
Any worries about Iverson getting old were ended earlier this week when he went for 51 points. Although the Nuggets rarely need him to score a huge amount of points, he’s still capable when asked to do so. The bad news is he’s seeing less and less time at point guard and more time at shooting guard, which could limit his assists.

5) Jason Terry, Dallas Mavericks
Terry has moved back to the starting lineup with Eddie Jones out injured. He was playing really well off the bench and has continued to stellar play as a starter. He’s not going to give you a huge amount of assists, but he can score, shoot for good percentages and he doesn’t turn the ball over.
