DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – December 2, 2017
High Salary PG
Kyrie Irving, BOS vs PHO ($9,200): Irving against the Suns? This one is a no-brainer. Irving had 47 fantasy points against the Sixers, including five threes. The Suns defense ranks 29th against the position and Irving should have no trouble getting his points in this one. The only concern is things getting out of hand and Irving not seeing his typical 30 minutes. ****
Eric Bledsoe, MIL vs SAC ($7,100): Bledsoe and the Bucks are starting to put things together, which is great news for Milwaukee fans and potential fantasy owners. Bledsoe had 42.25 fantasy points against the Kings just a couple of days ago. Once again, the concern here is that he doesn’t get enough playing time to make a bigger impact. Considering he had 42 fantasy points in 24 minutes in their last meeting, that shows he can get his numbers in a hurry. He puts up numbers in every category and this is a great matchup for him. *****
Lonzo Ball, LAL at DEN ($6,600): Ball had 55.5 fantasy points against Denver on Nov. 19. Without Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap, Ball will run the Lakers offense and get his bigs involved. He’s picked up a double-double in two of his last three games. The Nuggets are 23rd against in the position in their last 15 games. The price also favors Ball. He’s a relatively cheap option despite recent success against the Nuggets and a triple-double ceiling. I think he’ll be at 40 fantasy points at worst on Saturday. *****
