Kemba Walker has every reason to smile on Wednesday heading into a contest against the Utah Jazz. DraftKings players that drafted Walker the last time he met the Jazz were smiling on that night. Walker headlines a great pool of players after scoring a career-high 52 points on the Jazz on his way to an 80.8-fantasy point performance.

Will Walker be able to replicate his career night? Who knows, but it’s certainly one of the major headlines for Wednesday night’s action. Perhaps drafting Walker will lead DraftKings players to a night that cashes in.

The Denver Nuggets (17-26) and Boston Celtics (25-21) in a cross-conference clash on Wednesday night. The over/under is set at 209.5, but the two teams only combine for 204 points per game. The two teams have not met this season, but there are a few players that can have an impact on the game.

Out west, the Houston Rockets (25-22) take on the San Antonio Spurs (38-7). The over/under for the game is posted at 205.5. The two teams are both in the top 10 in scoring and combine for 210.5 points per game. Kawhi Leonard will likely be defending James Harden, who is red-hot, and that matchup will determine how the game goes.

The Dallas Mavericks (25-22) will battle the defending champion Golden State Warriors (41-4) at the ever-difficult Oracle Arena. The over/under is set at 215 for a game that features the NBA’s highest scoring team. The two teams combine for 216 points per game this season.

The Warriors convincingly proved that the they are the frontrunners to win the NBA Finals for the second straight year with a 30-point win over the Spurs on Monday.

Wednesday’s slate features several good games, with some potential high-scoring bouts that could yield to great fantasy plays. Here are some of the top picks for Wednesday’s DraftKings competition.
