FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-December 23

High Value C

Jahlil Okafor-Philadelphia 76ers (5,200): He isn’t getting the buzz that Embiid is getting, but the other Sixers big man is playing well since rejoining the lineup and Okafor now has at least 23 fantasy points in eight of his last nine games. He had a pair of games during that stretch with over 30 fantasy points, and he could be in for a nice night in Phoenix as the Sixers take on the Suns. He and Embiid seem to be learning to share the court, so look  for Okafor to continue to be a good value at under 6K.∗∗∗

Tristan Thompson-Cleveland Cavaliers (5,000): Thompson has been a beast down low in his last few games posting 10-12-0 for 26.4 fantasy points against the Bucks on Tuesday and an even better 5-15-1 with four blocks for 31.5 fantasy points on Wednesday. He’s low-risk against the Nets tonight but he also has a  fairly low ceiling with so many other scoring options ahead of him in Cleveland’s rotation.∗∗∗

Nene Hilario-Houston Rockets (3,900): If your other lineup decisions have left you short on salary at center, Hilario can be used as he fills in for Clint Capela in tandem with Montrezl Harrell. Hilario has 22.4 and 17.4 fantasy points in his last two games playing 18 minutes per contests. Since those games were back-to-back and the Rockets don’t play again until Monday he could get some extra time on the floor tonight if he’s effective on both ends against Memphis∗
