DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-December 10
High Value SG
Sean Kilpatrick-Brooklyn Nets (5,600): Kilpatrick has been one of the best fantasy plays for the Nets all season and h as at least 19 points and 25 fantasy points in each of his last eight games. He has a tough matchup against the Spurs tonight, but he’ll be looking to post 33+ fantasy points for the third straight contest.∗∗
Wesley Matthews-Dallas Mavericks (5,300): The SG midrange is stacked with options, but don’t overlook the recently surging Wesley Matthews who had 39.5 fantasy points last night while helping the Mavs past the Pacers with 26-4-3. He has at least 28 fantasy points in four straight and six of his last seven. Always a streaky scorer, it looks like Matthews is gelling well with Deron Williams next to him in the backcourt and settling in as a very solid midrange play. Tonight, he’ll take on the Rockets who allow the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing SG. ∗∗∗∗
Tony Allen-Memphis Grizzlies (4,600): Allen has had a pair of double-doubles in his last three games and has at least 22 fantasy points in four of his last five. He had 15-10-1 and two steals against the Blazers on Thursday for 34.5 fantasy points. Memphis will need him to step up again tonight as they face the Warriors. With the possibility of a blowout, I see “The Grindfather” as a boom-or-bust play.∗∗
Langston Galloway-New Orleans Pelicans (4,400): Both E’Twaun Moore and Jrue Holiday are expected to miss their third straight game tonight which leaves plenty of chance for Galloway to step up again. On Monday, Galloway scored 26 points and 32.57 fantasy points against the Grizzlies in a double-OT loss. He followed that up with 30 more fantasy points on Thursday against the Sixers when he had 19-4-2. Galloway had under 16 fantasy points in five straight games before his last two, so he’s only a viable play if Moore and Holiday are out as expected. No Moore/Holiday-∗∗∗∗
