DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-December 10
High Value SF
Maurice Harkless-Portland Trail Blazers (5,000): Harkless missed Thursday’s game against Memphis, but he is expected to be able to return tonight against the Pacers. As long as he’s confirmed to b win the lineup, he’s a safe play with good upside at just over 5K. Harkless has at least 25 fantasy points in eight stright games, and his highest scoring game during that run came against tonight’s opponent, the Pacers when he had 23 points against in Portland. Tonight, in Indiana, he has a good shot to return to his steady value production if he’s able to get back on the court. If he’s not able to play Evan Turner would be a great play in his place.∗∗
Joe Ingles-Utah Jazz (4,400): While everyone was in on Joe Johnson on Thursday, Joe Ingles has also been stepping up lately with all the Jazz injuries and is actually a little bit better of a play tonight. Ingles totaled 43.25 fantasy points on Thursday against the Warriors on 21-5-3 with four steals and a block. He has over 20 fantasy points in three of his last five while helping to fill in for Rodney Hood, and I think he should get the nod tonight if Hood is unable to return at SG (questionable). He’s risky because his playing time fluctuates, but if he gets time on the floor he’s a nice option.∗∗
Aaron Gordon-Orlando Magic (4,000): Gordon is starting to show some signs of life for the Magic. He has at least 19 fantasy points in three of his last five and had 9-3-2 with two steals while playing 29 minutes gains the Hornets. He’s in a good matchup against the Nuggets and his raw talent always give him the potential to go off despite his struggles for much of the season.∗∗
Michael Beasley-Milwaukee Bucks (3,400): Beasley is back in the Bucks rotation and has been productive lately. He had 14-6-2 with three blocks for 31 fantasy points last night in Atlanta after 12-8-0 against Portland earlier this week. He’s still risky, but his recent production shows there is upside to consider.∗
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute-Los Angeles Clippers (3,200): Mbah a Moute is not in the Clippers’ starting lineup for his offense, but he does have occasional value since eh does get good run with the starters. One of his best statistical games of the season came last week against the Pelicans when he had 15-5-0 with two blocks and two steals for 30.75 fantasy points. He only ended up playing 15 minutes on Wednesday in the Clippers bad loss to Golden State, so he should be well-rested and ready to contribute in a good matchup for him tonight.∗∗
