NBA Friday Night DFS Picks 1216 DraftKin

The NBA season has started to kick into overdrive, storming toward Christmas and entering the All-Star voting period. Marquee games seem to be getting better and better each evening, and we've enjoyed some stacked Friday night slates to ring in the holiday season. With ten games on the docket this evening, we've got a star-studded young DraftKings lineup that we're sure will put you in the running for some DFS winnings just in time for your winter shopping spree.We have been building strong hoops lineups on DraftKings all season, but Friday nights have been our bread and butter. Last week, we hit it big with Zion Williamson (50.75), Ja Morant (48), and OG Anunoby (34.5)anchoring our lineup and Keegan Murray (27.5) delivering at $4,000. The week prior,we struck gold with Jaylen Brown (63.5), Jrue Holiday (53 points), Trey Murphy (31.2), and Brook Lopez (30.2). This week, Harold Carmichael Jersey we're aiming for five big hits to boost our holiday-season bankroll.With DraftKings, lineup construction is simple: draft eight players with a signed salaries one for each position, as well as one guard flex, one forward flex, and one utility and keep the team under the $50,000 salary cap.Let's jump right into our Friday night DraftKings NBA lineup and briefly discu s each of our picks.SIGN UP FOR SLING: | NBA Entertainment PG: LaMelo Ball, Hornets vs. Hawks ($8,000)Ball (ankle) returned from nearly a month-long absence on Wednesday, and he looked like he hadn't mi sed a beat. In fact, the 44.25 DraftKings points he hung on the Pistons was 3.5 points higher than his previous game 28 days prior! His stroke looked smooth, sinking five triples and dropping a handful of deadly step-back jumpers from mid-range. He finished with an easy 23 points and 11 a sists, and should be even more potent tonight now that he's gotten his sea legs back. Add some steals and rebounds to his Wednesday line and we're talking matchup-winning production. And with Dejounte Murray, Atlanta's best perimeter defender, set to mi s multiple weeks with an ankle sprain, the sky is the limit for the young Baller. SG: Donovan Mitchell, Cavaliers vs. Pacers ($8,600)Mitchell hit a cool-down period after starting the season on a rampage, but he's starting to heat back up and yields plenty of value at this Nate Herbig Jersey price. He has dropped 12 or more field goals in four of Cleveland's past five games, and he's averaging 49.8 DK points over its past three. The youthful Pacers have surrendered the second-most fantasy points to guards this season, so expect at least a 50-burger this evening. Getty Images SF: Anthony Edwards, Timberwolves at Thunder ($8,900)Another young star with another solid matchup! Admittedly, we're constructing a bit of a stars-and-scrubs build, but it's a worthwhile strategy if you do the research and pinpoint some sleepers at the backend utility spots. And with OKC ranking amongst the 10 teams most generous to opposing forwards in fantasy, we're all over this play. With a nearly 40-point average and Karl-Anthony Towns out expect Ant's usage to remain high enough to be a dependable upper-echelon contributor acro s the board.PF: Kyle Anderson,Timberwolves at Thunder ( Philadelphia Eagles Home Office $5,700)Sleepers don't need photos they just show up and get the job done while the stars take the spotlight. Anderson has been huge for Minnesota since KAT went down with his calf strain, chipping in solid scoring, rebounding, and pa sing production. He won't knock your socks off in any one category, but SloMo will certainly pour in way more fantasy points than most DFSers will expect. He's put up 28-plus DK points in five of Ron Jaworski Jersey the Wolves' past seven games, even posting a 47 in Utah last week. C: Onyeka Okongwu, Hawks at Hornets ($4,700)Another guy who thrives when given the opportunity, Okongwu stepped it up big time when Hawks starting center Clint Capela left Wednesday's game against the Magic with a calf injury. He tied a season-high 31.75 DK points in just 26 minutes, and should flourish even more in a starting role against a small Hornets lineup. OO has a double-double floor and a five-stock ceiling, so he's well worth a $4,700 investment. G: Shake Milton, 76ers vs. Warriors ($4,800)Shake continues to rattle and roll despite the recent return of starting point guard James Harden, as the Sixers need his scoring infusion in their second unit. He also regularly adds three or four a sists and rebounds, and often comes away with a steal or two. The Warriors will be without reigning Finals MVP Steph Curry (shoulder) for approximately one month, which means games like this could get out of hand relatively early. Plenty of time to Shake, Shake, Shake. NBA Entertainment F: Jaden McDaniels, Timberwolves at Thunder ($4,200)McDaniels remains one of my favorite utility plays each week, simply because he provides consistent production acro s the board. And with the Wolves undermanned, he will need to Philadelphia Eagles Hoodies Sweatshirts take more shots and make more plays than he did at the start of the season. The Thunder's matador defense serves ancillary players like JMC well, so we like him to reach 20 fantasy points for the second game in a row. NBA Getty Util:Markelle Fultz, Magic at Celtics ($5,100)We usually opt for a high-upside play at our utility flex spot, and this week is no different. Fultz has improved steadily since returning from injury in late November, and he put up a 47.8-point gem on Wednesday against the Hawks. Tonight will present a bit more of a challenge in Boston against a strong perimeter defense, but we've seen plenty of guards on hot streaks put up numbers against the Celtics this season. With Orlando ravaged by injuries, the volume should stay high for the former No. 1 draft pick (who was taken over Celtics MVP candidate Jayson Tatum). With this game likely circled on the young point guard's calendar, Fultz could fill it up tonight and serve as a nice cherry on top of our Friday night lineup.
