DraftKings NBA picks December 25: Jokers and Kings wild
Before we get to the five game DraftKings NBA slate for Christmas Day, I want to take the opportunity to thank all of you for reading. I know there are literally tons of options for you out there to get your picks, so thank you for making this article a part of your research.
As for the slate, the NBA gave us some gifts on Christmas. Sure, everyone thought Zion would be the Christmas present to the league so that’s why the Pelicans are on here, but we still have some other good once. Celtics-Raptors has turned into a good rivalry. The battle for L.A. means something again. We have Giannis against Embiid. Houston against Golden State would have meant something about two months ago. Many Warriors are injured. Let’s see the official report.
Out: Pascal Siakam (groin), Steph Curry (hand), Klay Thompson (knee), Zion Williamson (knee), Norman Powell (shoulder), Eric Bledsoe (leg), Marc Gasol (hamstring), Eric Gordon (knee), Nene (hip), Gerald Green (foot), Matisse Thybulle (knee), Matt Thomas (finger), Robert Williams (bone), Vincent Poirier (finger), Darius Miller (Achilles), DeMarcus Cousins (knee).
Questionable: Patrick Beverley (groin), Glenn Robinson III (ankle), Dewan Hernandez (ankle), Dragan Bender (ankle).
Brow’s ankle will be fine. You know LeBron wont miss this game. Right now, it is expected that both Smart and Hayward will be available for Boston.
The cash line on Wednesday night was high at 294.75 DraftKings points. My best lineup hit 312 thanks to hitting on John Collins and some Wizards value, but I was too heavy on Blazers and too light on Spurs to really have a successful night. I almost broke even with just one line cashing. I’ll take it.
tmockinis took it down with 391.5 DraftKings points. That was a huge line! His low score was 40.5 from Kevin Love. He had LMA and Myles Turner at very low ownership with very high outputs.
Just because you don’t see someone on here doesn’t mean they are a bad play. I just think the ones listed herein are better.
