FanDuel NBA Lineup Picks, Advice & Analysis for December 22


PG: D'Angelo Russell, Los Angeles Lakers


Opponent: at Miami


Price: $5,900


Russell has played in 27 and 26 minutes in his last two games, with head coach Luke Walton slowly working him back into the rotation following his return from a knee injury. In those contests, with a night off for the Lakers' game against Cleveland sandwiched in between, Russell's accounted for 28.4 (at Philadelphia) and 30.5 (at Charlotte) FanDuel points. Russell is also no longer under a minutes restriction, with that being lifted in advance of the game against the Hornets Tuesday night, so he should at the very least meet his season average of 25.6 minutes per contest. Goran Dragic is a tough matchup defensively, but that shouldn't impact Russell negatively on the other end of the floor. (Getty)
