DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-December 26
High Salary PF
Anthony Davis-New Orleans Pelicans (11,100): If you’re spending big on one star in tonight’s FanDuel daily picks, Davis is definitely one of the best options to consider. The Pelicans big-man is coming off a monster 28-22-1 stat line with four blocks and a steal for 68 fantasy points against the Heat last Friday. He has at least 59 fantasy points in each of his last three games and tends to do best when he’s on a couple days rest like he is for tonight’s game against Dallas. When he faced the Mavs earlier this season, “The Brow” had 36-13-3 for over 60 fantasy points and he’ll look to post a similar stat line tonight. Dirk Nowitzki is consider probable for tonight, but Andrew Bogut is still out leaving Dallas a little short-handed up front.∗∗∗
Paul Millsap-Atlanta Hawks (8,200): With Dwight Howard battling a bad back, Paul Millsap has stepped up for Atlanta over their last few games and managed to post at least 39 fantasy points in three straight and seven of his last nine games since returning from an injury of his own. He’s a steady, multi-category producer, and he managed 18-10-7 for 46.5 in last weeks’ game against Minnesota who he’ll face again tonight.∗∗∗
Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (6,900): Parker has over 43 fantasy points in three of his last five games after posting 21-8-3 against the Wizards on Friday. He’ll face Washington again tonight and is a solid pick with really nice upside. His “down” games over the last month have always come on the second night of back-to-back, and since he’s had two days off he’ll be ready to roll against the Wiz tonight.∗∗∗∗
Serge Ibaka-Orlando Magic (6,300): I should just leave Parker and Ibaka in my DraftKings daily picks template since they seem to be in my picks just about every time they take the floor. With Evan Fournier out, Ibaka stepped up with a huge game against the Lakers on Friday finishing with 51.25 fantasy points on 19-11-2 and five blocks. He has over 39 fantasy points in three straight and four of his last five games making him a good play tonight even in a tough matchup against the Grizzlies. ∗∗∗
