We’ve got six games tonight tipping off with the Warriors visiting the Grizzlies at 7:30 PM EST. Brandin Podziemski’s been on a tear on the glass lately as the Warriors try to stay alive without Stephen Curry.
We’ll conclude with a competitive-looking affair in Denver, with the Celtics visiting at 10 PM EST.
There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in the action this evening. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this year is Pick6 Fantasy Basketball!
This article will look at my top Pick6 plays for tonight’s slate. We simply choose whether a player will record more or less of the set statistic. Here are my favorite plays for tonight’s action.
Alperen Sengun More Than 20.5 Points
Sengun, once again, thrives inside the arc. He’s been attempting a career high 0.6 3PA this season but it remains to be seen whether he’ll ever develop his three ball. Without Amen Thompson tonight, the Rockets will have to rely on Sengun to do damage inside the paint, and he’ll have an excellent opportunity to do so against Sacramento. The Kings are conceding 54.2 points in the paint per game, which is the third worst mark in the league. They also have the second-worst DEFRTG in the league with 119.9, so tonight’s game seems like an excellent opportunity to capitalize on Sengun’s line here.
Jalen Duren More Than 11.5 Rebounds
Duren will have a high bar to clear tonight with an 11.5 rebounding line. He’s “only” sitting at 10.4 RPG on the season, but he’s one of the best rebounders in the league right now and can easily pop for huge nights on the glass. Duren has also cleared 11.5 rebounds in three out of his last five games.
Rebounding also happens to be one of OKC’s few weaknesses. They’re conceding 54.9 ORPG, which is 24th in the league. If Duren can avoid foul trouble he should have no problem clearing this mark tonight.
James Harden More Than 8.5 Assists
Harden’s making a big difference for the Cavs, averaging 18.9 PPG and 8 APG in seven games since arriving in Cleveland. His presence has opened up Jarrett Allen’s game and has unlocked this offense to new heights.
The Bucks have also been below average in this department, conceding 27.2 OAPG this season. They’re also still without their best defender in Giannis Antetokounmpo, and I’m expecting Harden’s assist averages with this team to continue improving as he gets settled into this new environment.
