DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-December 26

High Value PF

Thaddeus Young-Indiana Pacers (5,800): Young has been a more steady contributor than Harris over the last week posting 33.25 fantasy points, 36.25 fantasy points, and 40.5 fantasy points in his last three games. He is coming off a nice 15-12-4 double-double against the Celtics when he had that 40.5 fantasy points. He didn’t do much in the first two meetings between these teams, but he has been settling in nicely to his role in Indiana lately. ∗∗∗

Jon Leuer-Detroit Pistons (5,000): Leuer got the promotion to the starting lineup when Harris went to the bench, but he only managed 8-7-2 for 21.75 fantasy points after posting 25+ fantasy points regularly when coming off the bench. Ultimately, he’s a better fit as a more traditional PF than Tobias Harris, and Leuer should fit in well tonight against Kevin Love and the Cavs. He’s a solid value at 5K although there is some risk due to the rotation in flux in Detroit.∗∗

Marvin Williams-Charlotte Hornets (4,800): If you have to go cheaper than 5K, a good play tonight is Marvin Williams who gets a great matchup against the Nets who give up the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing PF. Williams had 24+ fantasy points in three straight before playing just 24 minutes on Friday when he had 9-2-1 for just 18.5 fantasy points. He should bounce back tonight in a good matchup and be closer to 25 fantasy points with an even higher ceiling.∗∗∗

Mike Muscala-Atlanta Hawks (,000): Muscala has picked up some extra playing time with Dwight Howard dealing with a bad back. Muscala played 30 minutes last Wednesday against Minnesota nand had 16-4-0 for 23.5 fantasy points and followed that with 13-3-2 of 22.25 fantasy points against the Nuggets. Tongiht as the Hawks face the Wolves again, Muscala makes sense as a flier especially if Howard is again sidelined. No Dwight-∗∗∗ With Dwight-∗
