DraftKings NBA picks December 28: Who’s the best star?

We have a massive DraftKings NBA slate for tonight. Only the Hornets and Thunder are off. Of course, Memphis and Denver had to tip off early out in Denver to cut the slate down to 13 games, but I think we can live with that, right? That means every star is on the slate with the exception of Jokic. Which ones are worth the money?

First, this injury report is going to be huge, and I’m not looking forward to typing it up. It may be easier just to tell you who is playing!

Out: Trae Young (ankle), Kyrie Irving (shoulder), Pascal Siakam (groin), Steph Curry (hand), Klay Thompson (knee), Jusuf Nurkic (leg), Clint Capela (heel), Caris LeVert (thumb), Victor Oladipo (knee), Eric Bledsoe (leg), Davis Bertans (quad), Zion Williamson (knee), Marvin Bagley (foot), De’Aaron Fox (back), Norman Powell (shoulder), Luke Kennard (knee), Thomas Bryant (foot), Rui Hachimura (groin), Justise Winslow (back), Otto Porter (foot), Mike Conley (hamstring), Marc Gasol (hamstring), Jabari Parker (shoulder), Markieff Morris (foot), Jake Layman (toe), Zach Collins (shoulder), Eric Gordon (knee), David Nwaba (Achilles), Kevin Durant (Achilles), Rodney Hood (Achilles), Darius Miller (Achilles), Nene (hip), Gerald Green (foot), Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder), Matisse Thybulle (knee), Al-Farouq Aminu (knee), DeMarcus Cousins (knee), Nic Claxton (hamstring), John Wall (Achilles), C.J. Miles (wrist), Reggie Bullock (back), Dennis Smith (oblique), Robert Williams (edema), Vincent Poirier (finger), Matt Thomas (finger), Dewan Hernandez (ankle), Chandler Hutchison (shoulder), Khyri Thomas (foot), Jordan Bone (knee).

Questionable: Giannis Antetokounmpo (back), Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), Brad Beal (leg), Deandre Ayton (ankle), Malcolm Brogdon (groin), Mitch Robinson (toe), Lauri Markkanen (illness), Marcus Smart (eye), Mo Wagner (ankle), Alex Len (ankle), Eric Paschall (hip), Reggie Jackson (back), Mo Bamba (ankle), Mario Hezonja (back), Thabo Sefalosha (illness), Wayne Ellington (Achilles), Kevon Looney (abdomen).

Both A.D. and LeBron are expected to play. Giannis is likely closer to probable, but we wont know for sure for much of the day.

Only one of my four lineups cashed thanks to Trae Young. However, the one that did play made my four bucks back.

sidehustle210 took this down with a modest 343 DraftKings points. He built with Russell and Bucks value and brought it home with SGA, Adams, and Graham, not to mention a strong game from Tobias Harris.
