DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-December 20

High Value C

Jahlil Okafor-Philadelphia 76ers (5,500): Okafor is in the same favorable matchup as Joel Embiid tonight as they try to slow down Anthony Davis and the Pelicans. While Embiid went off on Sunday, Okafor only had 20.25 fantasy points on three points. However, he had reached at least 25 fantasy points in seven previous games including three games with over 30 fantasy points which is good value for someone at 5.5K.∗∗∗∗

Tristan Thompson-Cleveland Cavaliers (4,900):  The Cavs will need Thompson to patrol the paint and work on the glass tonight against the Bucks since they won’t have Kevin Love. Thompson had 8-5-2 with three blocks and two steals for 26.75 fantasy points against the Bucks when the Cavs played them three weeks ago. He should be around that level tonight with some potential for more rebounds and blocks if he plays over 30 minutes as usual.∗∗∗

Alexis Ajinca-New Orleans Pelicans (3,200): If you decide to go ultra-cheap at center, you could roll with dice with Ajinca who has been starting for the Pelicans. He is coming off his third straight game with eight rebounds after posting 27.5 fantasy points on 16-8-1 against the Spurs. He has at least 16 fantasy points in four of his last five, and the Sixers have given up the second-most fantasy points to opposing centers this season.∗∗
