DraftKings NBA picks January 22: King of the Garden
The NBA is back up to full speed with 12 games on the docket for our DraftKings NBA tournaments tonight. Only two teams played last night, but one of them, the Clippers, is in action again tonight. We have plenty of star power, plenty of value and plenty of injuries, so let’s get started with those first.
Out: Joel Embiid (finger), Kawhi Leonard (rest), Trae Young (thigh), Paul George (hamstring), Steph Curry (hand), Klay Thompson (knee), Kevon Looney (abdomen), Victor Oladipo (knee), Jaylen Brown (ankle), Jamal Murray (ankle), Wendell Carter (knee), Steven Adams (ankle), Richaun Holmes (shoulder), Marvin Bagley (foot), RJ Barrett (ankle), Luke Kennard (knee), Patrick Beverley (groin), Otto Porter (foot), Mo Wagner (ankle), Rui Hachimura (groin), Daniel Gafford (thumb), Paul Millsap (knee), Mason Plumlee (cuboid), Justise Winslow (back), D.J. Augustin (knee), Jabari Parker (shoulder), Anzejs Pasecniks (ankle), Deandre Bembry (personal), Aron Baynes (hip), DeMarre Carroll (illness), Garrison Mathews (ankle), Dewan Hernandez (ankle), DeMarcus Cousins (knee), Nene (hip), Gerald Green (foot), John Wall (Achilles), C.J. Miles (wrist), Bol Bol (foot), Al-Farouq Aminu (knee), Andre Roberson (knee), Turd Ferguson (personal), Abdel Nader (ankle), Robert Williams (hip), Andre Iguodala (personal), Bruno Caboclo (knee), Jake Layman (toe), Darius Miller (Achilles), Kenrich Williams (knee), Blake Griffin (knee), Khyri Thomas (foot), Frank Kaminsky (knee), Chandler Parsons (concussion)
Questionable: Andre Drummond (lip), Marcus Morris (ankle), Gary Harris (groin), Nerlens Noel (ankle), Jahlil Okafor (back), Josh Hart (ankle), Cam Johnson (quad), Aaron Holiday (thumb), Dennis Smith (oblique), Austin Rivers (thumb), Jacob Evans (concussion), Reggie Jackson (back).
George is traveling with the team, but there is no concrete word on when he will return. Sometime during the next three games is the answer. Keep up with this one. This has been Zion’s target date for about ten days now. Barring some weird circumstances, Zion should start tonight but will play in a limited capacity.
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.
