FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-December 26

High Salary C

DeMarcus Cousins-Sacramento Kings (11,200): Cousins had a solid game on Friday in Minnesota with 32-7-7 with two blocks and four steals for 57.9 fantasy points. He had an even better game last Tuesday with 55-15-1 for 76.3 fantasy points against the Blazers, and he gets another similarly soft matchup tonight against the 76ers. The Sixers have allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing centers this season which makes Cousins a great play to take a long look at tonight if you can get his 11K salary under your salary cap.∗∗∗∗

Marc Gasol-Memphis Grizzlies (8,000): Gasol had a massive 55 fantasy points last Wednesday in Detroit on 38-5-4 with a pair of blocks and a pair of steals, but he calmed down with just 16-5-4 for 31 fantasy points against the Rockets on Friday. He has over 40 fantasy points in two of his last three games and eight of his last 12. He is getting more help as the Grizz get healthier, but he’s still a solid play since he is such a central part of the Memphis attack.∗∗

Joel Embiid-Philadelphia 76ers (7,100):  Embiid is still playing about 28 minutes a night, but he has produced over 35 fantasy points in two of his last three games highlighted by his 33-10-1 for 53.5 last Sunday against the Nets. He had 27-7-1 for 37.9 fantasy points against Phoenix on Friday, and he is a boom-or-bust play tonight since he’ll be in a good matchup but still on his minutes limit tonight in Sacramento against Cousins and the Kings. ∗∗

Myles Turner-Indiana Pacers (6,200): Turner has scored at least 10 points in four of his last seven games and has eight boards or more in four of his last five. The second-year center has over 38 fantasy points in three of his last five games but his two off games have been bad burns of 21.5 fantasy points and 19.6 fantasy points. Tonight against the Bulls, Turner should be able to put up good enough numbers to make him a solid play at just over 6K.∗∗∗
