FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-December 28
High Salary PF
Draymond Green-Golden State Warriors (7,800): Early foul trouble was not what Green’s owners were hoping for in their Christmas stocking, but the Warriors’ PF still managed to score 16 points to salvage a fairly quiet game in Cleveland where he posted just 22.8 fantasy points. He had at least 37 fantasy points in each of his previous three games and should be able to bounce back to around that amount of production tonight against Toronto as long as he can avoid the early fouls (and technical) that forced him to change up his game a bit on Sunday.∗∗∗
Kristaps Porzingis-New York Knicks (7,700): Porzingis had a good game for the Knicks on Christmas with 22-12-1 and four blocks against the Celtics for 44.9 fantasy points. he has been a roller-coaster ride over the last three weeks with four games in his last seven over 40 fantasy points and a pair of games with under 22 fantasy points during that same stretch. He’ll look to post another good line tonight in Atlanta against the Hawks who he had 19-11-0 against in late-November when the two sides met. Porzingis has a world of upside, but he can be inconsistent at times as you would expect from a second-year star.∗∗
Nikola Jokic-Denver Nuggets (7,000): Jokic has started the last six games fro the Nuggets and posted 46 fantasy points and 59.9 fantasy points in the two games where he was able to play 30+ minutes. In his other four contests, he has been severely limited by foul trouble and forced to play under 22 minutes. On Monday, he was able to avoid that pitfall and posted another great line with 24-10-4. Tonight, he’ll have to deal with Karl-Anthony Towns and the Wolves which could set him up to be saddled with fouls yet again. However, if the young Serb can stay out of foul trouble the sky is the limit for the emerging star.∗∗∗∗
Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (6,800): Parker had over 42 fantasy points in three of his last five games before struggling a bit on Monday with just 14-6-4 for 25.2 fantasy points. Parker should be able to bounce back against the Pistons tonight and he continues to have a huge amount of upside for a players under 7K on a nightly basis.∗∗∗
Serge Ibaka-Orlando Magic (6,300): Yet again, it’s leave Parker, Jokic, and Ibaka in my FanDuel daily picks in the same range at PF. Ibaka came up huge last Friday against the Lakers with 48.2 fantasy points on 19-11-2 and five blocks, but he only played 24 minutes against Memphis finishing with 26.7 fantasy points on 16-6-3. Tonight, he’ll be matched up against the Hornets as he looks to get to 35 fantasy points for the seventh time in his last ten games. ∗∗∗
