DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-December 5
High Value SG
Sean Kilpatrick-Brooklyn Nets (5,900): The Nets guard has been a regular in my DraftKings daily picks all season and he continues to thrive in Kenny Atkinson’s offense. Kilpatrick has leveled off a little after some early season highs-and-lows and produced a very solid 25 fantasy points or more in each of his last six. One of those games was his 59.5-fantasy-point explosion against the Clippers, but even in his non-explosive games he produces solid production. Tonight against the Wizards, he’s one of my favorite options under 6K.∗∗∗
Rodney Hood-Utah Jazz (5,400): Hood returned from a hamstring injury with 28 fantasy points on Saturday against the Nuggets on 15-6-1 with two steals in 28 minutes. He has at least 25 fantasy points in three of his last five games and continues to be a steady contributor for the Jazz. Tonight, he’s in a good matchup against the banged-up Lakers who are allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing SG this season. ∗∗∗
Will Barton-Denver Nuggets (5,100): Barton has looked great in his two games back after battling an ankle injury. He had 34.75 fantasy points against Houston on Friday and played 34 minutes on the second night of back-to-back games and totaled 37.75 fantasy points against the Jazz on 20-5-4. Tonight, he and the Nuggets take on the 76ers in a good matchup for him to continue his recent production. Barton has long been one of my favorites in my FanDuel daily picks and I love the upside he brings at just over 5K tonight. ∗∗∗∗
Troy Daniels-Memphis Grizzlies (4,200): If you’re planning on dropping under 5K, Daniels is an interesting option to take a look at who came up huge for my DraftKings daily picks on Saturday against the Lakers. He finished with 31-2-4 and a massive 46.5 fantasy points giving him at least 24 fantasy points in three straight. With the Grizzlies in need of offensive playmakers, Daniels has been a needed jolt of scoring. He doesn’t add a ton outside of his scoring, but at just over 4K he has a lot of upside as he comes into tonight’s matchup with the Pelicans. ∗∗∗
Allen Crabbe-Portland Trail Blazers (3,600): If you have to go sub-4K at SG, my top option would be Allen Crabbe of the Blazers. He gets 20+ minutes of playing time most nights and has posted 15 and 16 points in his last two games for 17.25 and 23.75 fantasy points. Crabbe also had 15 points and 27 fantasy points against the Bulls in their last matchup in the middle of last month, so he should be able to get you enough to be a solid punt play at the position tonight.∗
