DraftKings NBA picks December 3: Ah, Capela!
We have a nice seven game slate for our DraftKings NBA tournaments tonight. We have Harden. We have Luka. Even the King and the Brow are on here. Which big names should we target? Should we go contrarian and avoid them all? First let’s check out the injury report. As per usual, it’s ugly.
Out: Kyle Lowry (thumb), Goran Dragic (groin), Derrick Favors (personal), Avery Bradley (leg), Kenrich Williams (ankle), Reggie Jackson (back), Zach Collins (shoulder), Jusuf Nurkic (leg), Eric Gordon (knee), Gerald Green (foot), Nene (back), Al-Farouq Aminu (knee), Nikola Vucevic (ankle), Matt Thomas (finger), Patrick McCaw (knee), Rodney McGruder (hamstring), Ian Mahinmi (Achilles), John Wall (Achilles), C.J. Miles (wrist), Michael Carter-Williams (hip), Bol Bol (foot), DeMarcus Cousins (ankle), Darius Miller (Achilles), Zion Williamson (knee), Dylan Windler (leg), Khyri Thomas (foot).
Questionable: LaMarcus Aldridge (thigh), Danuel House (illness), Mo Wagner (ankle), Cedi Osman (back), Dion Waiters (coach decision), Gary Trent (hamstring), JaMychal Green (back), Landry Shamet (ankle), Stanley Johnson (groin), KZ Okpala (Achilles), John Henson (hamstring), Chimezie Metu (foot).
There is plenty to keep an eye on, but also a lot of definitives here. Lowry has been upgraded to doubtful, but the Raptors are playing well enough without him that I wouldn’t expect them to rush it.
I’ll keep this short and to the point: the Knicks are a train wreck so my lineups were too. Kevin Knox started and played two of the first 20 minutes because he had as many fouls as minutes. DSJ could barely hit the backboard. It didn’t matter that I did well with the mid range plays.
A very low 324 took it down for giantsquid last night. He had a well balanced lineup with no stars in it. Graham, Hield, Paschall, Sabonis, Myles Turner, Melton, Tobias, and JJJ. All solid players and two inconsistent guys won 100k.
