There will be an eight game slate tonight tipping off at 7 PM ET between the Lakers and Hawks. The Pelicans will visit the Warriors at 10 PM as the last game.
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.
Stephen Curry More than 4.5 Threes
It’s not like he’s ever been gun-shy, but Curry’s been letting it fly this season to great effect. He’s taking 10.6 threes per game, which is actually a hair below his attempts from last season, but his efficiency has been otherworldly. He’s connecting on 44.7% of his attempts from deep, and I’m not even sure if you can forecast a significant drop. 44.7% is unrealistic for anybody except him, and even though he hasn’t maintained a 3P% this high since 2015-16, he should still be in the running all season long for leading the league in threes unless he gets injured.
Curry’s matchup tonight will be the Pelicans, who are allowing 39 attempts from deep per game. Steph won’t need much time to approach his typical volume, either, as he hit six triples in just 28 minutes against Miami a few days ago.
Duncan Robinson More than 3.5 Threes
Robinson went 3-for-11 from deep against the Lakers on Sunday, but the attempts are intriguing to see. He has launched at least seven threes in all nine appearances this season, averaging 4.2 makes on 9.3 attempts while clearing this number five times. Washington allows the eighth-most opponent 3-point attempts per game at 40.4, an appealing matchup for a player taking most of his shots from beyond the arc. With nine, 11, and 11 attempts in his last three games, Robinson’s recent workload gives him plenty of opportunities to reach four makes tonight.
Robinson is enjoying a career-year, putting up 18.2 PPG while hitting an incredible 45.2% of his attempts from deep.
Victor Wembanyama More than 11.5 Rebounds
Phoenix’s struggles on the glass make this an appealing spot for Wembanyama to reach a dozen boards. The Suns rank dead last in total rebound percentage at 44.9% and remain without Mark Williams due to a shoulder injury, leaving their depleted frontcourt with a difficult assignment in battling Wemby.
Wembanyama is averaging 12.0 RPG and has collected at least 12 boards in five of his 10 appearances. Playing time is the main and only concern after he logged fewer than 30 minutes in three of his four November games, but the matchup is too good to ignore. Wemby recently exploded for 24 rebounds (nine offensive) against the Dallas Mavericks in just 34 minutes.
