Ja Morant hasn’t shown many signs of rust during his first three games of the year after opening the season with a 25-game suspension. He made the winning basket at the buzzer in a 34-point effort in a 115-113 victory over the Pelicans in his first game and is averaging 28 points and nine assists over his first three contests. Morant, a two-time All-Star, averaged 26.2 points and 8.1 assists last season, so how should daily Fantasy basketball players view the idea of spending up and including him in NBA DFS lineups as the Grizzlies meet Zion Williamson and the Pelicans again on Tuesday?
The Tuesday NBA DFS player pool is without some of the most well-known options with many of the league’s top teams playing on Christmas Day, so how should you form an NBA DFS strategy without many of the league’s best in action? Before making your NBA DFS picks, be sure to check out the NBA DFS advice, player rankings, stacks, and top daily Fantasy basketball picks from SportsLine’s Mike McClure.

On Monday, McClure highlighted Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic as one of his top picks in his NBA DFS player pool on both sites. The result: Doncic had 50 points, six rebounds, 15 assists, three blocks and four steals, returning 97.5 points on DraftKings and 96.7 points on FanDuel. Anybody who included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.
