DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-December 10
High Salary PG
Giannis Antetokounmpo-Milwaukee Bucks (9,900): It was a weirdly low-scoronig fantasy night in general last night, and one of the most disappointing stat lines came from “The Alphabet.” Antetokounmpo had been rolling along with 45+ fantasy points in five straight before struggling with foul trouble and turnovers and ending up with only 22.5 fantasy points last night against Atlanta. He should be in a place to bounce back with a big game against the Wizards tonight, but owners may still be stinging from last night’s burn too much to pay almost 10K for him.∗∗∗
Chris Paul-Los Angeles Clippers (8,800): CP3 had a rough game on Wednesday against he Warriors finishing with just 31.5 fantasy points on 15-6-5. He has been held under 42 fantasy points in three of his last four games and in six of his last eight. However, one of those games where he went off was against tonight’s opponent the Pelicans when he had 49.5 fantasy points on 17-8-13. He also could be a good play tonight based on Blake Griffin being out or limited with a knee injury.With Blake-∗∗∗ No Blake-∗∗∗∗
Damian Lillard-Portland Trail Blazers (8,400): The Blazers are playing their fourth straight game on the road before concluding their trip in LA on Monday. Tonight, they’re in Indiana to face the Pacers who they took on November 30 in Portland. Lillard lit up Jeff Teague in that game for 28-4-10 (points-rebounds-assists) while adding four steals for 58.75 fantasy points. He has at least 49 fantasy points in three of his last five contests including that game, and he’ll look to help Portland avoid a three-game losing streak as they take on the Pacers.∗∗∗
Kemba Walker-Charlotte Hornets (7,500): Walker and the Hornets blew out the Magic last night and the star PG only had to play 25 minutes resulting in just 23.5 fantasy points on 15-0-5 with a steal. He had been rolling along before last night’s down game with over 30 fantasy points in four of his previous five games. He’s in a good matchup tonight against the Cavs as the Hornets look to prove they’re contenders in the East as they visit Cleveland. The Cavs allow the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing PG, so Walker should be ready to bounce back and play a full workload tonight after his limited time last night.∗∗∗∗
Goran Dragic-Miami Heat (7,300): The Heat were blown away by the Cavs last night and Dragic only managed 25.75 fantasy points on 15-3-4. With Miami’s many injuries, he’s getting a ton of usage, so he should turn in a better night tonight as Miami finishes their back-to-back against Chicago. He had more than 41 fantasy points in four of five games before struggling a bit in his last two with just 32.5 and last night’s 25.75 fantasy points. Dragic will try to turn things around against the Bulls who he has bad splits against but only because he was forced to leave his first matchup against them early with an ankle injury.∗∗
Deron Williams-Dallas Mavericks (6,000): D-Will and the Mavs are visiting “The Beard” after knocking off Indiana last night. Williams had a solid 16-1-6 for 29.25 fantasy points giving him at least that many fantasy points in five in a row. He’ll have a tough matchup against Patrick Beverley, but he is finding a bit of a groove with Dallas after missing so much of the early part of the season with a calf injury. ∗∗∗∗
