John Wall is an elite FanDuel NBA performer as Washington continually places the ball in his hands and allows him to create.
For over eight minutes a game, 18.1 percent of an NBA regulation game, John Wall is in possession of the ball for Washington.
Each night, he gains possession an average of 90.1 times a night, the third highest total in the league, paving the way for his immense success as a facilitator.
Friday night, seemingly every possession involved Wall, as his passing generated 18 assists, resulting in a total of 35 points. Along with his 18 points scored, Wall accounted for 47.1 percent of the total points the Wizards scored during the win.
The play of Wall has helped Washington turn the Verizon Center into one of the most difficult venues to capture a win, as the Wizards have won nine consecutive home contests, even though they’re one game below .500 on the season.
The 18 assists mark the third highest individual total this season and Wall is the third different player, joining Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul, to register at least 18 points and 18 assists in a game this year.
Wall is dishing out 10.2 assists per game, the third highest average in the league, as he routinely creates easy looks for teammates by confusing his opponents.

Over his last 10 games, Wall has been even more prominent passing the ball, averaging 11.7 assists per game. He has registered a double-digit assist total in 14 of his 33 appearances.
The elevated assist totals have allowed Wall to be one of the steadiest performers in FanDuel NBA leagues, as he has tallied 40 or more fantasy points in six consecutive games.
Wall is much more than just a passer, as he routinely attacks the rim to create scoring opportunities for himself. Wall ranks third in the league in points off drives, at 8.2 per game, and once he gets to the rim, he is nearly automatic.
The 6’4″ guard is converting 62.2 percent of his attempts at the basket, part of the reason he is Washington’s leading scorer at 23.3 points per game.
The career-high point total, along with his exceptional passing ability, has other star players publicly casting a ballot for Wall to appear in New Orleans at the 2017 All-Star Game.
Facing Milwaukee, one of 15 teams Wall is averaging at least nine assists against during his career, Wall has thrived against the Bucks, posting averages of 20 points and 12.3 assists in their previous three meetings.
With an average of 45.8 FanDuel NBA tournament points per game, Wall deserves a roster spot Sunday night in all lineups.
