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.
