DraftKings NBA DFS Picks Today, December 6
5 –Â T.J. McConnell
Position: PG | Salary: $4,700
Projections: 12.7 Points, 3.3 Rebounds, 5.8 Assists, 1.5 Stocks
McConnell wasn’t the first name I expected, but when you dig into the matchup, it makes perfect sense. This game is the ideal DFS target — both teams rank in the bottom 5 for defense and the top 10 in pace. That’s the perfect recipe for fantasy points. McConnell’s per-minute production has been solid, and with Andrew Nembhard missing time, McConnell has seen a slight boost in minutes.
4 – LeBron James
Position: PF | Salary: $9,600
Projections: 22.4 Points, 8.1 Rebounds, 8.6 Assists, 1.6 Stocks
LeBron is questionable for tonight, but he hasn’t missed a game this season. If he suits up, the matchup against the Hawks is loaded with DFS potential. It’s an up-tempo game, and LeBron could thrive in this spot, especially with power forward being a more challenging position to fill. Keep an eye on his injury status throughout the day, as his availability will shape the Lakers’ outlook.
3 – John Collins
Position: PF/C | Salary: $7,200
Projections: 19.0 Points, 9.2 Rebounds, 2.8 Assists, 1.8 Stocks
Collins is locked into over 30 minutes a night, and while my projections are a bit higher on him than the market consensus, the field is already favoring him. With both Utah and Portland struggling defensively, this is a prime opportunity to target Collins, especially since his dual-position eligibility offers lineup flexibility.
2 –Â Josh Giddey
Position: PG | Salary: $6,700
Projections: 14.7 Points, 7.1 Rebounds, 7.8 Assists, 1.3 Stocks
Giddey is dealing with an ankle injury and didn’t look 100% yesterday, so his status for tonight’s back-to-back is still up in the air. Assuming Giddey plays, this matchup against the Pacers is elite for DFS purposes given the pace and lack of defense. While his lack of multi-position eligibility is frustrating, Giddey’s overall versatility makes him a strong play if he’s active. Like LeBron, his availability is something to monitor closely.
1 –Â Anthony Davis
Position: C | Salary: $10,200
Projections: 29.3 Points, 12.8 Rebounds, 3.5 Assists, 3.1 Stocks
This is an excellent spot for Davis, who’s been in great form this season. With limited premium pay-up options on the slate, Davis stands out as the best high-priced option. The Hawks are an average defensive team, which is more than fine in this scenario. If LeBron sits, Davis becomes even more of a priority as the clear focal point of the offense. Regardless, he’s a fantastic play tonight.
