Happy Tuesday guys! Our picks were ? ? ? again last night! Here’s a look at some of our highlight picks on 12/8:
Jamal Crawford  35.25  DK points
Isaiah Thomas 35.5 Â DK points
Jrue Holiday= Â 30 DK points
Ed Davis= Â 34.25 DK points
Greg Monroe= 36 DK points
Coy Zeller= Â 31.5 DK points
Wes Matthews= 28.25 DK points
We also won a challenge last night on the app No Halftime! The challenge was Greek Freak would have more points than Chris Paul, I thought CP3 wouldn’t play and was hoping someone would bite on the bet, and someone did, then he ended up playing…but Giannis still had more points than CP3! Let’s keep the good picks coming! Let’s take a look at tonight’s 6 game slate.
Point Guards
Shane Larkin- $3,900 vs. HOU
I recommended Larkin as a sleeper to a few people on Sunday and he ended the night with 30.75 DK points at only $3,900! Larkin usually plays the most minutes off the bench for the Nets, so he always has opportunities to score points. Both teams refuse to participate on defense, which is why the O/U is 207.5. Larkin’s shooting percentage is excellent this season and he’s shooting 50% from deep! When Larkin takes shots he makes them. Larkin is only $4,300, and guard Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is out indefinitely. Larkin got 28 minutes last game and 30 minutes two games prior.
Russell Westbrook- $10,400 @ MEM

Russell Westbrook is not human, but this is old news. If I put the top 12 NBA players on one team and played them an entire season, I would bet that Westbrook would have the most fantasy points at the end of the year. Westbrook is only $10,400 tonight, which is $300 cheaper than Curry and $200 cheaper than Harden. The Grizzlies played the Thunder once already this year and Westbrook had 72 fantasy points…I recommend paying up for Westbrook tonight, he is match up proof.
“The Sleeper Pick”- Trey Burke
Shooting Guards
Victor Oladipo- $6,600 @Â DEN
Oladipo was playing limited minutes after coming back from a concussion, but I think he starts to play regular minutes again tonight. Last game Oladipo played 34 minutes and scored 44.75 DK points, he had three blocks in that game too! Oladipo is an unbelievable athlete and there is no one on the Nuggets who can stop him. Oladipo stuffs the stat sheet, earlier this year against Milwaukee, he had 17 points, 9 assists, and 6 rebounds in just 24 minutes on the court! If Oladipo plays 36 minutes, he is going to be a big steal at $6,600.
“The Sleeper Pick”- Rodney Stuckey
Small Forwards
Paul George-$10,200 vs. GS
It is possible to fit Westbrook and PG13 in a lineup on Draftkings and FanDuel, because there is a ton of value tonight. The Pacers MAY(I said may) have a chance to beat the Warriors at home in Indiana, if so Paul George could have 75 DK points. This game is the highest scoring in tonight’s six game slate, Vegas predicts a combined 215.5 combined points, so both teams will be scoring a ton. George and Curry will be firing back and forth all night. Golden State is only predicted to win by 6.5 points, so the starters should see the court a lot tonight. George is such a big part of Indiana’s offense that it’s hard for him not to get points.
Gordon Hayward-$7,000 @Â SAC
Hayward has been on ? ? ? lately. Hayward has averaged 24 PPG over his last five games and has been getting a ton of steals in the process. Gobert is out again, so that gives Hayward more rebound and scoring opportunities. Hayward is out playing his price tag every night on the court. Rotowire ranks Hayward as their top value small forward tonight. With Gobert out, Hayward and Favors should have big days against Sacramento.
“The Sleeper Pick”- Andre Iguodala
Power Forwards
Ed Davis- $5,000Â @Â CLE
We suggested Davis yesterday and Davis had 34.25 DK points! His price only went up $100 from yesterday, so I’m buying Ed Davis stock tonight in Cleveland. Ed Davis came to Portland to get more minutes and Terry Stotts has rewarded him so far this year. Davis has averaged 27.3 minutes/game over his last four games. My boss, Geoff questioned my pick of Ed and Zeller yesterday, so I didn’t play them…big mistake. I am certainly not going to get burned by Ed twice in two days. I see Ed getting a ton of minutes tonight, especially if LeBron doesn’t play.
Derrick Favors- $7,900 @ SAC
With Gobert out, Favors is set to have a huge day against the Kings. Cousins hasn’t played a lot of minutes in the last three games, so there isn’t really anybody who can guard Favors. Last game, Favors had 57.25 points on Draftkings! Favors is unstoppable in the post and his price reflects this, favors does have a nice match up, especially with Gobert out. If you can’t afford George or Durant, I suggest Favors for $7,900.
“The Sleeper Pick”- Trevori Booker
Centers
Marc Gasol- $7,300 vs. OKC
Gasol has a great match up against the Thunder tonight. Enes Kanter is a “turnstile” on defense, people go right through him. Kanter’s offensive game is great, but he is not a good defensive player. It is actually a big problem for the Thunder. Gasol is averaging 44.8 DK points over his last 4 games, so I am going to ride the hot streak against OKC. Gasol is going to be a match up nightmare for Kanter. Gasol is 7’2″ and Kanter is 6’11” and he doesn’t show a lot of effort on defense. If the Grizzlies get hot, Gasol will be the reason why.
“The Sleeper Pick”- Clint Capela
