FanDuel NBA Lineup Picks, Advice & Analysis for December 27


PG: D'Angelo Russell, Los Angeles Lakers


Opponent: vs. Utah


Price: $5,600


Russell missed the second meeting between the Lakers and Jazz as he was recovering from a knee injury, but he struggled in the first. In Utah's 96-89 win over the Lakers on October 28, the Jazz limited Russell to nine points on 3-for-14 shooting from the field and he also had just one fewer turnover (four) than assists (five). George Hill, who was healthy for that game, is still out of the lineup with a toe injury so that could help Russell put together a better performance. It's a risk, especially with Utah being so good defensively, but one worth taking. (Getty)
