DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – December 26, 2017

Your DraftKings NBA lineup for December 26 is right here.

Eight games are on the Tuesday schedule with the action starting early and ending late.

The Raptors take on the Mavericks and the Pacers battle the Pistons at 7 p.m. ET. The battle for Florida begins at 7:30 p.m. ET when the Magic meet the Heat. The Bulls size up the Bucks at 8 P.M. ET followed by the Nets and the Spurs at 8:30 p.m. ET. 9 P.M. ET sees the Jazz take on the Nuggets and the Grizzlies against the Suns. Late action has the Kings against the Clippers at 10:30 p.m. ET.

My favorite plays of the day can be found on the following slides in FanSided’s DraftKings daily picks. Each day in order to offer a variety of price points at each position, you can find two slides for each position–one for high-salary options and one for high-value options. Each pick is ranked on a scale of 1-5 stars to indicate the confidence in the pick. The final slide of this post has more detail on what each level means, but in short, more stars means more confidence in the selection on a points-per-dollar basis.

Important note: Every day the goal of this post is not to give you a copy-and-paste lineup. Instead, each selection is given while highlighting the factors you need to consider when building a customized lineup for yourself. If you want to see an example lineup, you can find it on the final slide of the post, but I suggest you adjust your lineup to fit your personal taste.

To keep up with all of FanSided’s DFS NBA coverage head over to the  fantasy basketball hub where each day you can find a post like this tailored for DraftKings as well as one specifically designed for usage on FanDuel.
