Expert NBA DFS DraftKings, FanDuel and Yahoo DFS daily plays for Monday, December 30

There are six games on the NBA slate to start the new week, which will end in a new year. Three of the six games have totals over the big number of 225. Trae Young and Blake Griffin are out tonight. We also have to watch the injury status of Giannis, Karl Anthony Towns, and Bradley Beal.

SF/PF Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks

DraftKings: $11,200, FanDuel: $11,300, Yahoo: $56  

Giannis is the best player on the slate most nights, but tonight he is easily the top option if he suits ups. Giannis has been dealing with some back stiffness, and if he goes, he is how you start your lineups in his two games vs. Chicago this season Giannis is averaging 35 points.  

PG/SG Devin Booker, Phoenix Suns 

DraftKings: $7,500 , FanDuel: $7,100, Yahoo: $34   

The Suns and Trail Blazers play tonight in a game with the highest implied total on the slate at 231. Booker has not shot the three well in December, so his production and taken a slight dip. I think Booker was dealing with an injury, but he looks healthy now. He had back to back 30 plus point outing over the weekend.

SF/PF Bojan Bogdanovic, Utah Jazz 

DraftKings: $6,100 , FanDuel: $5,600, Yahoo: $24  

Bojan has always been a decent fantasy daily fantasy option, his fantasy points are consistent, and his price is never really too high. I like to roster him when the Jazz play at home as they do this evening. In-home games Bojan shots 45% from beyond the arc.  

C Hassan Whiteside, Portland Trail Blazers 

DraftKings: $7,100, FanDuel: $8,500, Yahoo: $38

Whiteside has put up at least 40 fantasy points in eight of his last ten games. Tonight, he gets a plus matchup vs. the Suns' 27th-ranked defense vs. opposing Centers.  

PG/SG Markelle Fultz, Orlando Magic

DraftKings: $4,800 , FanDuel: $4,900, Yahoo: $19  

Fultz has put up at least 2o fantasy points in three of his last four outings. Markelle and the Magic are going up against the Hawks B-squad this evening, so there should be plenty of fantasy goodness for Orlando.

New on Sports Illustrated: NBA Draft Big Board 3.0: Top 80 Prospect Rankings

Ranking the top 80 players in the 2021 NBA draft with the NCAA tournament in the rearview. View the original article to see embedded media. With three months until draft night and the NBA’s regular season winding down , the league at large has begun shifting full focus to the off-season. Players have until May 30 to declare as early entrants for the draft, after which point the predraft process will open up in full, leading up to the combine and lottery at the end of June . Our Big Board is long overdue for an update, and fully expanded out to 80 prospects as we all attempt to make sense of the big picture moving forward. As usual, the Big Board is primarily based on my personal evaluations from both live viewings and on film, in many cases dating back several years. The rankings also incorporate feedback and opinions I glean from NBA executives, scouts, and others around the industry. This is not a mock draft, and team fit is not considered, but it is also intended to be somewhat

New on Sports Illustrated: The Patriots’ Post-Brady Era Begins Now

-

In Mac Jones, Bill Belichick drafted a Round 1 quarterback for the first time ever—and looks to usher in a return to dominance. Of course the first time Bill Belichick drafts a first-round quarterback, it’s one for whom he could get an unvarnished scouting report from good buddy Nick Saban —and without even having to do any draft-day maneuvering. Now, the post-Tom Brady era in New England really begins. The Patriots treated 2020 as something of a gap year, with a league-high eight opt-outs due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a starting quarterback, Cam Newton, who didn't sign with the team until June. They were, for the first time in two decades, mediocre, but that 7–9 record bought them the ticket to a fresh start: the No. 15 pick, which they used Thursday night on Alabama QB Mac Jones. The oft-cited statistic that Belichick had never drafted a QB higher than pick No. 62—used on Jimmy Garoppolo in 2014—was inherently flawed, given that Belichick had Brady as a starter for 19 of

The NCAA Board of Governors unanimously voted to extend president Mark Emmert's contract through Dec. 31, 2025.
