Friday NBA Games to Target for NBA DFS
Here are two games to target for NBA DFS fantasy production today, Friday, December 27, for your PrizePicks Lineups.
Pacers vs. Celtics
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
How to Watch: NBA TV
The Celtics have the third-best offensive rating (118.8) in the league as they continue to score in bunches. They are also averaging the most three-point attempts per game (50.4). They could really explode offensively in this game with the Pacers playing at the seventh-fastest pace (100.89) in the league.
On the injury front, Celtics C Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and Celtics G Jrue Holiday (shoulder) are listed as questionable. Pacers F Obi Toppin injured his ankle Thursday against the Thunder and was unable to return to the game. With the quick turnaround for this game, it is unlikely that he will play against the Celtics.
That could lead to more playing time for Pacers F Jarace Walker, who scored 12 points over 15 minutes against the Thunder.
PrizePicks Projection to Consider: Celtics G Derrick White 16.5 Points — More
Cavaliers vs. Nuggets
Time: 9 p.m. ET
How to Watch: NBA League Pass
The Cavaliers have the best offensive rating (121.0) in the league. They also have the seventh-best defensive rating (109.7), which has helped them get off to a 26-4 start. The Nuggets are just 8-8 on the road this season, but they are 8-4 at home. Both the Cavaliers and the Nuggets rank inside the top-eight in the league in pace of play.
Cavaliers F Dean Wade (knee) is listed as questionable, but the Cavaliers should have most of their key players available for this matchup. The Nuggets can’t say the same with F Aaron Gordon (calf) having already been ruled out. The good news for them is that G Jamal Murray (ankle) is listed as probable.
PrizePicks Projection to Consider: Nuggets G Russell Westbrook 12.5 Points — More

NBA DFS Picks Today for PrizePicks
Here are four NBA DFS picks to help you build your PrizePicks NBA Lineups for today, Friday, December 27.
Suns G Bradley Beal vs. Mavericks: 20.5 Points – More
Suns G Devin Booker (groin) will miss his fourth straight game. With him out, Suns G Bradley Beal has scored at least 23 points in each of the last three games.
Beal averaged 19.3 shot attempts per game during that stretch, which is significantly higher than his season average of 14.4 shot attempts per game. The Suns need his scoring, giving Beal a favorable opportunity to surpass this projection.
Magic C Goga Bitadze vs. Knicks: 9.5 Rebounds – More
Magic C Goga Bitadze hauled in 14 rebounds over 33 minutes against the Heat on Thursday. That was the sixth time over the last seven games that he finished with at least 10 rebounds. That included a game against the Knicks in which he hauled in 11 rebounds over 25 minutes.
Bitadze has at least 10 rebounds in five of his last six games, and he’s averaging 11 rebounds per game in the month of December.
Magic F Tristan Da Silva vs. Knicks: 13 Points – More
The Magic need scoring with F Paolo Banchero (oblique) and F Franz Wagner (oblique) out for extended periods. Stepping up in their absence has been Magic F Tristan Da Silva, who has started seven games.
He has found his groove, scoring at least 15 points in four of his last five games. That included a 20-point performance against the Knicks less than two weeks ago. In that game, Da Silva attempted 17 shots. His usage rate should remain elevated in this rematch.
Spurs F Harrison Barnes vs. Nets: 8.5 Points – Less
The Spurs have a clean injury report for this game. While they dealt with a lot of injuries earlier in the season, their depth chart has been in much better shape lately. That has contributed to Spurs F Harrison Barnes logging 22 minutes or fewer in each of the last four games. In three of those games, he scored six or fewer points.
Not only are the Spurs healthier, but Friday brings a matchup against a Nets team that is playing the second game of a back-to-back set. If they rest a key player or two, this game could get out of hand in a hurry. It’s difficult to envision Barnes playing much more than 20 minutes, limiting his scoring ability.
