DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-December 1
High Value SG
Evan Fournier-Orlando Magic (5,800): Fournier has become a key part of the Magic offense and shown he can go off for monster nights in the right circumstances. He had 50 fantasy points on Sunday against the Bucks and 40.5 fantasy points last Wednesday against Phoenix, but he has also been held under 30 fantasy points in three of his last five. He’s a boom-or-bust play tongiht for Orlando and is in a tricky matchup with Memphis tonight. He’s definitely high-risk, high-reward.∗∗
Sean Kilpatrick-Brooklyn Nets (5,800): Another high-risk, high-reward option who gets to face the Bucks that Fournier destroyed is Sean Kilpatrick of the Nets. Kilpatrick has been up and down this season, but he has scored at least 16 points in four straight games and posted three games over 32 fantasy points in his last four contests. The best game of that stretch, though, definitely came on Tuesday when he played a massive 47 minutes in the Nets double-OT win over the Clippers. He totaled 59.5 fantasy points in that contest on a massive 38-14-2. He did play a ton of minutes just two nights ago, but his good matchup should set him up for another strong night tonight. ∗∗∗∗
J.J. Redick-Los Angeles Clippers (4,700): Redick is mostly just a scorer for the Clippers, but he has been able to get to at least 21 fantasy points in nine of his last 11 games which makes him a solid play at under 5K tonight against the Cavs. He doesn’t have the crazy upside that Fournier and Kilpatrick have, but he does offer some reliable production at an affordable price.∗∗∗
Matthew Dellavedova-Milwaukee Bucks (4,400): Delly didn’t go off against his former team when Milwaukee dispatched the Cavs, but he did finish with 20.25 fantasy points on 3-3-7 and a pair of steals in just 25 minutes. He has at least 20 fantasy points in six of his last seven games now which is enough to make him an interesting option at 4.4K tonight. He’s also in a great matchup against the Nets who allow the most fantasy points per game to opposing PG. ∗∗∗∗
Wayne Ellington-Miami Heat (3,000): Ellington has only played two games for Miami this season, but he has been thrust into a big role with all the injuries in Miami. He played 32 minutes in last night’s game in Denver finishing with 22 points and 37.5 fantasy points. Tonight, he’ll be in a tougher matchup in Utah, but he should still get all the time and opportunity he can handle. He has a higher upside than Redick or Dellavedova, but he’s also riskier.∗∗
