DraftKings NBA picks January 10: The Kings still reigns

We have a big ten game slate for our DraftKings NBA tournaments on Friday. The Rockets are off, but Luka, LeBron and Trae are all on here with Wizards and Warriors (some of you get it) value. This is going to be fun with Dallas and the Lakers going at it again.

First, we need to check injuries. The reports are getting quite long this time of year. I don’t list probables anymore. The report is long enough without them.

Out: Anthony Davis (busted ass), Kyrie Irving (shoulder), Paul George (hamstring), Brad Beal (leg), Jrue Holiday (elbow), Julius Randle (personal), D’Angelo Russell (shoulder), Steph Curry (hand), Klay Thompson (knee), Kevin Durant (Achilles), DeMarcus Cousins (knee), Kristaps Porzingis (knee), Victor Oladipo (knee), Richaun Holmes (shoulder), Jonathan Isaac (knee), Zion Williamson (knee), Wendell Carter (ankle), Thomas Bryant (foot), Rui Hachimura (groin), Marcus Morris (neck), D.J. Augustin (knee), Mo Wagner (ankle), Otto Porter (foot), Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle), Mike Conley (hamstring), Justise Winslow (back), Jabari Parker (shoulder), Garrett Temple (knee), Dennis Smith (oblique), Garrison Mathews (ankle), Wilson Chandler (hamstring), Kevon Looney (abdomen), Ersan Ilyasova (knee), Darius Miller (Achilles), Kenrich Williams (back), C.J. Miles (wrist), John Wall (Achilles), Bruno Fernando (personal), Frank Kaminsky (knee), Al-Farouq Aminu (knee), Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder), Ryan Broekhoff (leg), Andre Iguodala (personal).

Questionable: Brandon Ingram (finger), Domantas Sabonis (knee), Malcolm Brogdon (back), Marvin Bagley (foot), Nemanja Bjelica (ankle), Aaron Gordon (calf), J.J. Barea (illness), Avery Bradley (illness), Marvin Williams (nose).

Sabonis played on Wednesday, so he should be fine. The Pels aren’t concerned with Ingram’s finger, so he could play. Anthony Davis is one of the few that can literally say he busted his ass on the court. My guess is he wont play tonight. The Pacers are hopeful that Brogdon will play, but that isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement.

I had 100% exposure to Russ and 80% to Capela, so I had no chance. Absolutkall took it down with 354.75 DraftKings points. He built with Russ and a bunch of mid range guys, all of whom came through. Rose, J-Rich, Bruce Brown, Horford, Tristan, Covington, and Gallo. That’s the second time this week a balanced line had the takedown.

Just because you don’t see someone on here doesn’t mean they aren’t a good play. I only have so much room, and I’m not going anyone a favor if I recommend more than half of the players at a position. If you have a feeling about someone, by all means, follow that. I mostly follow numbers and trends.
