DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-December 2
High Value PF
Tobias Harris-Detroit Pistons (5,900): Harris and the Pistons may miss Paul Millsap who is questionable for tonight’s game, but whether he takes on Millsap or Mike Muscala, Tobias Harris is worth a look coming in off of three straight games with 33+ fantasy points and 20+ points. Harris doesn’t have the upside of the high salary plates, but he’s relatively low-risk compared to the other sub-6K plays tonight. ∗∗∗
Nikola Jokic-Denver Nuggets (5,200): Jokic has been posting great numbers coming off the bench for the Nuggets, but he is dealing with some wrist soreness which could keep him out of tonight’s game against Houston or limit his production. He comes into tonight’s game with a pair of double-doubles in his last two contests posting 13-11-3 for 34.75 fantasy points against the Suns and 17-14-3 for 42 fantasy points against the Heat. If he is cleared to play with out limitations, he’ll be an awesome option, but check back after shoot around to see if he’ll give it a go. If he’s out, Kenneth Faried could get enough time to make him a solid play. If active-∗∗
Larry Nance Jr.-Los Angeles Lakers (4,800): Nance continues to be involved in LA even with Julius Randle healthy and posted a double-double of his own with 12-11-1 and three steals for 34.25 fantasy points against the Bulls on Wednesday. Nance has at least 21 fantasy points in four straight and six of his last seven. He’s a flier with upside tonight in Toronto as he takes on the Raptors.∗
Ryan Anderson-Houston Rockets (4,400): Anderson has taken some time to settle in to Mike D’Antoni’s system, but he has scored in double-digits in six straight games after last night’s explosion. In a game in Oakland last night that turned into a three-point shooting contest, Anderson totaled a season-high 29 points in 45 minutes and finished with 36.75 fantasy points. He pretty much just gives you scoring but has over 20 fantasy points in five of his last six and is worth a look tonight as long as he and the Rockets can overcome the fatigue and altitude in Denver.∗∗∗
