DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – December 1, 2017
High Salary PG
Russell Westbrook, OKC vs MIN ($11,400): Westbrook is listed as questionable, but by all indications he will suit up. Keep an eye on it before making any decision, though. Westbrook has been at 60 fantasy points or better in five straight games. Who knows what, if anything, will change following the Thunder recent skid, but it’s tough to imagine a scenario where Westbrook doesn’t put up big fantasy numbers. He’s averaging 54.1 fantasy points in two games against Minnesota this season. ****
Kyle Lowry, TOR vs IND ($8,100): I have no issues grabbing Lowry at any salary right now. He’s been above his 38 FPPG season average in seven of his last eight games. He had 57 fantasy points against Indiana a week ago. He continues to put numbers in every category and shows no signs of slowing down. The Pacers have the 22nd ranked defense. *****
Steph Curry, GS vs ORL ($9,900): Everyone on the Warriors is listed as questionable ahead of Friday’s contest, including Curry. Don’t make any lineup decision on Curry until his status is official. Assuming he plays, he’ll be at his 46.2 FPPG season average at worst. If Durant and others are held out, Curry’s value only increases. The Magic are still a good matchup given their recent losing streaking and 27th ranked defense. ****
