DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-December 7
High Salary PF
Blake Griffin-Los Angeles Clippers (8,600): While he’ll have to deal with Draymond tonight, Griffin has been hot lately with over 45 fantasy points in six of his last ten contests. He is coming off two of those games after posting 27-10-4 with two blocks for 50.5 fantasy points against the Pelicans and 24-16-5 with two blocks for 57.5 fantasy points against the Pacers. In each of those games, he only played 34 minutes, so he should be ready for whatever number he has to play at home tonight. Griffin has played 21 game against Golden State in his career and is averaging 23.0-10.0-3.9. He should be good for around 20-10 tonight, but the game will have to stay close the whole time to keep him worth his spendy salary.∗∗∗
Draymond Green-Golden State Warriors (7,700): Green is a much cheaper option in tonight’s Western Conference showdown, and I think he’ll end up as an even better points-per-dollar option at PF. He has at least 32 fantasy points in six of his last seven games and had his best game in the only close contest during that stretch when he went off for 20-15-9 and 57.75 fantasy points against the Rockets. Green has had double-digit assists in his two games since then even though his minutes have been limited due to blowouts. As long as tonight’s game stays close, I think he’ll have another good stat line as he runs against the big front line of the Clippers Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. ∗∗∗∗
Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (6,500): Parker has been a locked-in option in my DraftKings daily picks for most of the season since he offers a ton of upside at under 7K. On Monday, he showed some of that upside with 41 fantasy points against the Spurs on 23-8-3. He has at least 29 fantasy points in each of his last four games and in six of his last eight. He should be able to get over 30 tonight as the Bucks host the Blazers who are giving up more fantasy points to opposing PF than any other team in the NBA. There should be plenty of buckets to go around for both teams tonight, so I’m investing in the Bucks tonight in Milwaukee. ∗∗∗∗
Serge Ibaka-Orlando Magic (6,400): Ibaka has exactly four blocks in three of his last four games including last night when he added 10-5-1 to his four swats for 25.25 fantasy points. He has at least that many fantasy points in seven straight and nine of his last ten. Against the Celtics, he’ll look to post a good number tonight even though he is playing for the second night in a row.∗∗
