Top 5 FanDuel NBA DFS Picks Today

No. 5: John Collins, Atlanta Hawks

Collins has been a solid contributor for the Hawks this season, averaging 19.5 points and 8.2 rebounds per game. He has been a consistent scorer, reaching double digits in all but one of his games this season. Taking on the Utah Jazz, Collins is poised to have a big night and is a top pick for lineups.

No. 4: Davion Mitchell, Sacramento Kings

The Kings will be without their starting point guard De’Aaron Fox, but Mitchell is expected to get the start. While his per-minute production may not be high, he has a great opportunity to see plenty of minutes in a good matchup against the Indiana Pacers. At minimum salary, he makes for a great value pick.

No. 3: Gary Trent Jr., Toronto Raptors

Trent has been a standout performer for the Raptors this season, averaging 15.0 points per game while shooting an impressive 44.3% from beyond the arc. With a favorable matchup against the Houston Rockets, Trent should see plenty of opportunities to score.

No. 2: Alec Burks, Detroit Pistons

Burks has been a key contributor for the Pistons this season, averaging 16.5 points per game. He has a good opportunity to see extended minutes in a good matchup against the Charlotte Hornets and makes for a solid mid-range option.

No. 1: Jalen McDaniels, Charlotte Hornets

McDaniels has been a pleasant surprise for the Hornets this season, averaging 9.8 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. If Gordon Hayward is ruled out, McDaniels should see an increase in minutes and production. At a low price, he makes for a great value pick.
