Early DraftKings NBA picks December 1: Use Luka
We have an even split usually reserved for baseball for our DraftKings NBA tournaments today. Actually the tip times between the two slates are only two hours apart, so I’m not sure why this isn’t just one eight game DraftKings NBA slate. Instead we have a four game early DraftKings NBA slate and a four game late DraftKings NBA slate. No matter how they decide to do it, I’ve got you covered.
This is not a slate devoid of talent though. Luka is on here. The Lakers are on here. We just need to find some decent value. Maybe we can on the injury report.
Out: Kyrie Irving (shoulder), Ja Morant (back), Caris LeVert (thumb), Elfrid Payton (hamstring), Avery Bradley (leg), Jake Layman (toe), Kyle Anderson (heel), Reggie Bullock (back), Gordon Hayward (hand), Tacko Fall (knee), Andre Iguodala (personal), Wilson Chandler (suspension), Kevin Durant (Achilles), KZ Okpala (Achilles), DeMarcus Cousins (knee).
Questionable: Marcus Morris (neck), Kyle Kuzma (ankle), Shabazz Napier (hamstring),
Derrick Jones and Dion Waiters are both active and traveling with the Heat, so that might throw a wrench into their already loose rotations. Bam and Butler are safe, but beyond that could become tricky.
It was another unfortunate night in the NBA. I actually had a decent score in the high 280’s but the money line was 303.5 thanks to Harden going bonkers. I had Giannis instead of Harden so I had no chance based on Harden’s ownership.
InDaMixx and eldboy tied for the takedown with 374.75 DraftKings points. Like most everyone, they had Harden and McLemore, but the huge values of Robin Lopez and Austin Rivers and the big night from Ben Simmons at under 10% ownership was enough to win it.
