Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for Yahoo! - 12/26/2015

Point Guard

Eric Bledsoe
Opp - PHI, Matchup - Isiah Canaan/Ish Smith/TJ McConnell, FPPG - 38, Salary - $44

Eric Bledsoe and the Suns will be playing against the worst team in the league. They are the worst team for a reason and personnel is a huge part of it. Bledsoe is fast, explosive, and a big-time scorer that no one from the Sixers' current roster can match. He is bound to have a huge night.

Chris Paul
Opp - UTA, Matchup - Raul Neto/Trey Burke, FPPG - 37.2, Salary - $43

Paul will not be playing against the worst team in the league, but he will be playing against 23-year-old kids. For the past three games his FPPG has been trending up, averaging 47 FPPG. That's 10 points higher than his average (37.2) for this season. It's also important to note that in one of those games, he played against Russell Westbrook and dominated the game with 57 FPPG. If he did that to Russell and the Thunders, imagine what he could do with these kids guarding him.

Shooting Guard

Brandon Knight
Opp - PHI, Matchup - Robert Covington/Hollis Thompson, FPPG - 33.7, Salary - $35

He's in here for the same reason Eric Bledsoe is here - Philly. You can't not have Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight in your lineup for tomorrow.

Zach Lavine
Opp - IND, Matchup - Monta Ellis, FPPG - 23.8, Salary - $21

Kevin Martin did not play in Minnesota's last game and only played 16-19 minutes in their previous 3 games. On the other hand, Zach Lavine has been playing extended minutes and taking advantage of the opportunity. You should too and draft Zach in your daily lineup.

Small Forward

LeBron James
Opp - POR, Matchup - Aminu, FPPG - 46, Salary - $52

James and the Cavs played against Portland back in December 8... and the result, James had a solid night with 33 points, 10 rebs, 3 ast, 2 stl, 3blk, and 1 3pt. This gave James a total of 58 FPPG - 12 points higher than his season average.

Kawhi Leonard
Opp - DEN, Matchup - Will Barton, FPPG - 40.2, Salary - $45

In case you missed the Spurs vs Pacers game, Kawhi totally decimated Paul George with his defense. How so? Paul George ended the game with 7 pts, 7 rebs, and 6 asts. While Kawhi had 24 pts, 6 rebs, 5 asts, and 3 stls. If he did that against Paul George, you think he won't do that against Will Who?

Power Forward

Taj Gibson
Opp - DAL, Matchup - Dirk Nowitzki, FPPG - 18.7, Salary - $12

Taj is a solid player stuck in team with front court depth. If you give him minutes, he'll produce. The past two games, he's been getting 33 MPG and as expected, he produced with 13 PPG and 9.5 RPG. His FPPG the past two games is 29.4. With Noah still out and Mirotic starting at SF, Taj is still likely to play major minutes against the Mavs.

Center

Andre Drummond
Opp - BOS, Matchup - Kelly Olynyk/Tyler Zeller, FPPG - 43.5, Salary - $48

Drummond grabbed 21 rebs against Pau Gasol/Noah and the Bulls and 19 rebs against Marc Gasol and the Grizzlies. How many rebounds do you think he can grab against Olynyk and Zeller?
