We have a giant 12 game slate tonight tipping off at 7 PM EST with the Lakers visiting the Pacers. We’ll finish the night with the Raptors visiting the Clippers 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.
Luka Doncic More Than 34.5 Points
Doncic has been on a tear over the last seven games, putting up 40.3 PPG while taking 28.3 FGA. He’ll continue to pour in this ridiculous volume tonight against the Indiana Pacers, the 26th rated defense in the league, as he continues powering the Lakers to the third seed in the West.
Doncic is leading the league with a stellar 33.4 PPG as well as his 10.9 3PA. As if it hasn’t been clear by now, he’s one of the few players in the league who get the ultimate green light, and for good reason. The 26 year old is rounding into his prime as one of the most lethal offensive weapons in all of basketball. If the Pacers keep this game close, it’s reasonable to expect Doncic to go for 40+.
Ace Bailey More Than 24.5 Points
The Jazz rookie has been popping off lately over his last three games, flashing his lottery upside with 31.7 PPG during this stretch on .456/.419/.938 shooting splits. Bailey’s on a bad Jazz team that will prioritize his touches and development at this stage of the season. Tonight’s matchup also happens to be incredibly soft. The Wizards are putting up a dead-last 121 DEFRTG and Bailey will be able to get in plenty of reps tonight on offense against this nonresistant defense.
Draymond Green More Than 5.5 Assists
Green’s definitely slowing down a bit as he nears the twilight of his career, but he’s still a capable passer. Green is averaging 5.3 APG, a figure he hasn’t dropped to since his 2014-15 season. While his triple-double upside is mostly gone, he still has some serviceable assist numbers as we see during his most recent stretch of games. He’s averaging 6.1 APG over his last seven, and the Nets are conceding 29.7 APG to opponents this season (19th in NBA).
While Green’s assist numbers typically pop more with Steph Curry in the mix, he’ll still have an opportunity to rally his offense tonight in this spot against the Nets.
