DraftKings NBA picks December 19: This is Freaking Harden!
We are down to four games in the Association tonight. This slate is not devoid of talent though. The Rockets and Lakers are in action. So are the Hawks. Utah and Brooklyn may be able to provide some value. We’re going to need it. This slate is insanely tough with Trae, Giannis, Harden, Russ, Kawhi, PG, LeBron, A.D., Mitchell and DeRozan. That’s not even mentioning Dinwiddie. Where in the world can we find value? Let’s start with injuries.
Out: Kyrie Irving (shoulder), John Collins (suspension), Eric Bledsoe (leg), Mike Conley (hamstring), Kyle Kuzma (ankle), Eric Gordon (knee), Nene (hip), Gerald Green (foot), DeMarcus Cousins (knee), Kevin Durant (Achilles), Nicolas Claxton (hamstring).
Questionable: Anthony Davis (ankle), Caris LeVert (thumb), JaMychal Green (back), Dragan Bender (ankle), Chandler Parsons (illness).
Davis is hopeful to play after missing Tuesday’s tilt. LeVert is traveling with the team, so he could return at any point.
I was a little out of the money last night thanks to Powell leaving with an injury and underperformances by Barton and Bismack.
pod3 was on top last night with 352.25 DraftKings points. He hit on Lowry’s triple double and the 50’s from Rozier and Ingram. He also got nice value out of Thompson, Brandon Clarke, Ibaka thanks to Gasol leaving, and D-Russ. The lineup even survived a dud by Paschall.
