NBA DraftKings & FanDuel DFS Primer: Tuesday (12/20)

PREMIUM

This is going to be a strange week of scheduling. We had a ton of games on Monday, and all but eight teams will be in action on Wednesday. That’s leaving us with a small card here, with only five games in total. We have some good matchups and attractive DFS options, so let’s look at the schedule and odds!

Core Plays

Devin Booker (SG – PHX): $9,500 DraftKings, $10,400 FanDuel
Booker was rested on Monday night, and we have to assume it was to have him ready for this game. There’s also a chance Deandre Ayton and Chris Paul will sit here in the second half of a back-to-back set, and that’d be even more beneficial for Book. The sharpshooter’s scope has been fine recently, scoring 75 DraftKings points in his most recent outing. All of that makes him tough to fade against a 21st-ranked Washington defense.
