DraftKings NBA picks December 2: Embiid indeed

We have a solid six game slate for our DraftKings NBA tournaments tonight. There are still plenty of stars, plenty of value, and the Warriors may finally be getting someone back. Who? Well, you’ll just have to read on. First, let’s check the rest of the injuries.

Out: D’Angelo Russell (thumb), Ja Morant (back), Marvin Bagley (thumb), Draymond Green (rest), Otto Porter (foot), Elfrid Payton (hamstring), Kevin Huerter (shoulder), John Collins (suspension), Deandre Ayton (suspension), Chandler Hutchison (shoulder), Cheick Diallo (illness), De’Aaron Fox (ankle), Reggie Bullock (back), Cristiano Felicio (wrist), Trevor Ariza (groin), Steph Curry (hand), Klay Thompson (knee), Jacob Evans (hip), Andre Iguodala (personal), Victor Oladipo (knee), Jakarr Sampson (back).

Questionable: Jonas Valanciunas (illness), Josh Richardson (hamstring), Brook Lopez (back), Marcus Morris (neck), Brandon Clarke (hip), Frank Ntilikina (back), Cameron Johnson (illness), Sterling Brown (shoulder), Cam Reddish (wrist), Mikal Bridges (quad), Kevon Looney (hamstring), Kyle Anderson (heel), Damion Lee (hand).

Richardson is considered doubtful. Questionable also seems to be ambitious for Jonas, as he seems to have contracted whatever has been going around the league. The Warriors are saying that Looney will play, but he will be on a strict minutes limit. Still, the price is low enough to take notice.

I was two points out of the money on the early slate yesterday. The value for THJ and KBD was low, but what really hurt was Jarrett Allen. The night slate was a wreck. A terrible night from Bojan and Marquese Chriss hurt the bottom line even though the Raptors hit.
