There’s just one game tonight, with the Toronto Fever visiting the Indiana Fever at 7 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.
Aliyah Boston More Than 16.5 Points
Boston is averaging 17.0 PPG, and this number becomes even more appealing against a Toronto defense that has allowed opponents to shoot efficiently inside. The Tempo have struggled to protect the restricted area, which lines up well for Boston’s catch-and-finish chances, post touches, and general work around the rim. There is some risk with Caitlin Clark’s status, since Clark’s spacing and passing can change the quality of Boston’s looks, but Boston’s scoring path is strong enough for us to feel comfortable with this line here.
Brittney Sykes More Than 19.5 Points
It’s nice when we don’t have to rely on subtlety. Sykes is averaging 20.7 PPG and remains Toronto’s top scoring option, with Kiki Rice and Nyara Sabally both listed out. We don’t have to think too hard on this one when a player who’s already averaging above this number figures to have an elevated offensive role. Sykes, before scoring only 11 points in her last game against the Atlanta Dream, put up over 20 points in three games in a row. In general, she’s trending up and should be due for a big night.
Indiana is not a soft defensive matchup, but Toronto should need Sykes’ creation to keep pace on the road against a Fever team averaging nearly 90 PPG. If she gets her usual minutes, this 19.5 number should be easy to hit.
Kelsey Mitchell More Than 19.5 Points
Mitchell is averaging 20.3 PPG, and Toronto’s defense has allowed 89.7 PPG while giving up efficient scoring inside the arc. Boston’s interior matchup should force Toronto to pay attention in the paint, and that can help Mitchell find enough downhill looks and pull-ups within Indiana’s offense. The risk is that Indiana’s scoring gets spread across Clark, Boston, and Mitchell, but the matchup gives Mitchell a reasonable path to another 20-point game.
