DraftKings offers two great bets for December 26. New users can bet $5 and get $150 in free bets.

Kevin Durant is scoring 136.8 points per 100 shot attempts this season. He's playing at an MVP level despite an Achilles injury and a lack of personnel to guard him. The Cavaliers have a lot of size but no wings. Durant takes only 16% of his shots at the basket. Cavaliers and Warriors are playing on December 26. Cavaliers won't be able to stop KD. This game should bring out the best out of him, as it should be a more competitive game.

Jordan Clarkson is a 20-point scorer for the Utah Jazz. He's also a sixth man for this surprise Jazz team. Recently, he's been playing more as a 3-pointer shooter. His team is playing the San Antonio Spurs tonight. San Antonio is last in opponent efficiency from 3 point range.  

Mike Conley is the franchise-leading scorer for the Memphis Grizzlies. He was a point guard in his younger days. Now he's a backup point-guard for Utah Jazz. His production has dropped dramatically since October. Collin Sexton's return could make him even less effective. The Grizzlies play the Jazz on December 26. The game is on a home court.
