DraftKings NBA picks December 30: Feel the Heat
The holidays have been nice for the DraftKings NBA slates. We have another solid six game slate tonight highlighted by Giannis (maybe) against the Bulls and a ton of injuries. How many? Grab your coffee. This could take a while.
Out: Trae Young (ankle), Kyrie Irving (shoulder), Jusuf Nurkic (leg), Deandre Ayton (ankle), Caris LeVert (thumb), Davis Bertans (quad), Blake Griffin (knee), Luke Kennard (knee), Thomas Bryant (foot), Justise Winslow (back), Rui Hachimura (groin), Mo Wagner (ankle), Otto Porter (foot), Mike Conley (hamstring), Markieff Morris (foot), Jabari Parker (shoulder), Zach Collins (shoulder), Jake Layman (toe), Skal Labissiere (knee), Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder), David Nwaba (Achilles), Kevin Durant (Achilles), Nic Claxton (hamstring), Rodney Hood (Achilles), C.J. Miles (wrist), John Wall (Achilles), Khyri Thomas (foot), Al-Farouq Aminu (knee), Chandler Hutchison (shoulder).
Questionable: Giannis Antetokounmpo (back), Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), Brad Beal (calf), Andrew Wiggins (illness), Lauri Marrkanen (illness), Aaron Gordon (Achilles), Reggie Jackson (back), Mario Hezonja (back), Jordan Bone (knee), Mo Bamba (ankle).
It is expected that Bledsoe is going to return tonight. Griffin is doubtful. Beyond that, who knows? The flu is hitting the NBA, and there are a bunch of nagging injuries on such a small slate.
I only got two lineups in last night, but both of them cashed. I stacked Rockets with Luka, A.D., and LeBron. The other lineup with Pelicans and Lakers finished a little higher. Overall, it was a productive night.
adkoala had a pretty low total at 337.5 DraftKings points, but it was a takedown by six full points over second place. He built with Lonzo, Jrue, Ingram, A.D., Ingram, and Rockets value.
