FanDuel NBA: Best Picks, Lineup For Jan. 6
Punt Play of the Night: Patty Mills, San Antonio Spurs ($3,800) vs. Utah Jazz
On the surface Mills probably seems like a generic plug-and-play option since incumbent Tony Parker has already been ruled out. But a closer look at the numbers shows that the former Australian native has exceeded the 15 fantasy point threshold in eight of his last 10 games, and he came off the bench for nine of them.
Wednesday night Mills faces a Utah Jazz team that is just outside of the bottom third vs. PGs over the same interval, so he has a good chance to make it nine of 11 while the opposition scrambles to keep the remaining household names from the Spurs’ lineup in check.
