We’ve only got six games tonight, tipping off at 7:30 PM EST with the Cavs visiting the Magic. We’ll finish up at 10:30 PM with a late-night Western Conference clash between the Timberwolves and the Clippers, tipping off at 10:30 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.
Kawhi Leonard More Than 28.5 Points
Leonard has been one of the best players in the NBA this season, putting up a career-high 27.9 PPG. He’ll look to continue his dominance tonight on the second half of a back to back after just dropping 29 on 52.6% shooting against the Knicks. The Timberwolves are top ten in DEFRTG, but Leonard is pretty much matchup proof at this point. He also recently lit up San Antonio, an elite defense spearheaded by Victor Wembanyama, for 30 points on March 6th.
Kon Knueppel More Than 19.5 Points
The rookie sensation will look to continue his absurdly efficient campaign tonight against the Kings, and we’ve got a great line to be attacking. Sacramento’s bottom-five in DEFRTG and while Knueppel has fallen short of this 19.5 mark for two games in a row, he exceeded it in the two games prior to that, which includes a stellar 27 point display against the Heat while shooting 64% from the field. He should absolutely get back on track against this woeful Kings defense and continue making his ROTY case. He’s now the favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook at -165.
Maxime Raynaud Less Than 9.5 Rebounds
The young Raynaud has been impressive in his rookie season filling in for Domantas Sabonis, putting up four double doubles in his last five games. He’s averaging 10 RPG across his last five games, but tonight he’ll run into Charlotte, who’s leading the league in limiting ORPG. They’re conceding just 48.1 RPG to opponents and should make it tough for Raynaud tonight to work the glass.
