The Celtics will visit the Hornets to start off our nine game slate tonight at 7 PM ET. The late game will tip off at 10 PM, between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers.
There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in the action this evening in 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 today’s action.
Luka Doncic More than 49.5 PRA
Doncic has stormed out of the gate as an early-season MVP candidate, as expected. He’s currently doing more than enough across the board to make 49.5 PRA completely within reach. He’s absolutely stuffing the stat sheet with 38.5 PPG, 8.1 RPG, and 8 APG through eight games, leading the Lakers to a 7-2 record, tying the Rockets for the most wins in the Western Conference so far.
Doncic has cleared 55 PRA in his last three games, and has topped 60 PRA twice in these. He’s taken at least 22 shots in five straight games while contributing at least five boards and five dimes in each. He already torched Portland for 41 points, five rebounds, and nine assists in their last game.
Jayson Tatum More than 6.5 Assists
Tatum’s playmaking has been remarkably steady heading into Friday’s matchup with Charlotte, with eight, seven, seven, and nine assists in his last four appearances. He’s averaging 27.0 PPG, 6 RPG, and 7.9 APG this season despite shooting just 41.8% from the field, so the passing production has propped up his value.
Against Houston, he finished with nine assists even though Boston scored only 93 points and he went 5-for-16. Charlotte’s slow pace is a concern, but Tatum’s recent production gives us a case for seven assists, especially with Payton Pritchard’s availability hanging in the balance, due to an eye injury. If Pritchard sits, even more responsibility will fall on Tatum, who has risen to the occasion thus far. We’re starting to see the next evolution in Tatum’s game as a point-forward in the post-Jaylen Brown era, as his career-high assist average indicates.
Victor Wembanyama More Than 28.5 Points
Wemby just erupted for a bonkers 52 points, 24 rebounds, and 10 stocks in just 34 minutes against the Mavericks in a close win, and should be due for another huge game tonight against the reeling Kings, who have little to throw in the way of the French phenom. Wemby hung up 29 on the Kings on October 27th without hitting a single three, and given the way he’s playing right now, looks poised to surpass that line tonight, as long as the game isn’t over before the end of the third quarter.
