There’s a ten game slate tonight tipping off at 7 PM EST between the Wizards and Pacers. The last game will tip off at 10 PM EST, a rematch of last night’s game between the Thunder and Trail Blazers.
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.
Alperen Sengun More than 6.5 Assists
Houston’s All-Star center is running the offense this season, putting up 21.3 PPG, 9 RPG, and 7.8 APG. He’s cleared 6.5 assists in seven out of nine games, including four of his last five. Steven Adams and Clint Capela will be out, which means that Sengun will need to stay on the floor longer, avoid foul trouble, and facilitate. The Warriors allow 26.8 APG, and Sengun has consistently been dropping dimes so far.
Stephen Curry More than 25.5 Points
Curry finished short of this number on Monday, but it’s hard to complain about 25 points in just 21 minutes during a 51-point destruction of New Orleans. Before that game, the Chef had scored at least 29 points in five consecutive appearances, including two games above 40. He’s averaging 30.6 PPG this season, giving us an attractive number for a scorer performing at this level. Houston allows 37.2 opponent three-point attempts per game, tied for 13th-fewest, but this is Curry we’re talking about. I’m backing his recent scoring production at a line that doesn’t require a massive performance.
Franz Wagner More than 37.5 PRA
Wagner’s last three PRA totals have climbed to 38, 47, and 47. He cleared 15 points and 15 assists against Phoenix, and then put up back-to-back 30+ point games with 18 total assists across the two games. He’s on a heater right now and has done an excellent job of filling in the Paolo Banchero-sized hole in Orlando’s roster. Banchero and Jalen Suggs will remain out tonight, giving Wagner another opportunity to keep his campaign rolling. He’s playing like he wants his first All-Star appearance. I’m especially comfortable backing Wagner to hit 37.5 PRA considering he’s also taking a ton of shots in addition to racking up the assists. He’s taken 22 and 23 FGA in his last two games.
