Well I hope you listened to us on The Sports Chief for Christmas, as we won! Today will be a short and sweet article. Let’s keep up our winning ways! 

Lauri Markkanen is my favorite choice of the night at $7,700. The Timberwolves are sub-par defending bigs and I think Markkanen can stretch the floor enough to produce. He has scored 40+ DK points in 3 of his last 4, and that consistency is crucial.

Blake Griffin at $9,000 is a bargain. He is facing off against a very weak frontcourt in Washington, and most stars post big numbers against the Wizards this year. 

Tobias Harris is playing against the Kings at $7,800. The over/under for this game is set at 238 and Bjelica will be tasked with stopping him. I like Harris in this game, as well as Bogdan Bogdanovic on the opposite side. His price at $5,500 is attractive, and he just came off of a 40+ DK performance.

My bargain choices will be Terrence Ross at $4,200 vs. Phoenix and Cody Zeller at $4,400 vs. Brooklyn. I think the Magic could go up early against the Suns and that leaves Ross for some garbage time points. Zeller is purely a gut choice, but Brooklyn is ranked 26th against opposing Centers.
