There will be ten games on the slate tonight, tipping off at 7 PM ET between the Hornets and the Wizards. The Lakers will visit the Warriors at 10 PM ET to close out the night.
The Rockets and Grizzlies are the only undefeated teams in the league, while the Nets and Kings have yet to record a win.
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.
Brandon Miller More than 24.5 Points
Miller has been firing away for Charlotte, and that likely won’t change against the Wizards tonight. The forward is averaging 25.6 PPG on 23.6 FGA, which is massive volume. He’s clearly gotten the green light for Charlotte this season with LaMelo Ball gone, and he’s not shy about it, either.
Miller has put up 34, 39, and 31 points in consecutive games while attempting 29, 28, and 26 shots, respectively. The efficiency isn’t elite, but we’re loving the confidence. For Pick6 purposes, that also pushes us towards the easiest decision on the slate, which is to back Miller for More than 24.5 tonight given he’s being asked to carry a massive share of Charlotte’s offense.
Karl-Anthony Towns More than 11.5 Rebounds
KAT’s been dominating the glass to start the season, averaging 13.8 RPG and pulling down at least 12 boards in four out of his last five games. He’s been especially productive recently, totaling 47 rebounds over his last three outings, including a massive 20 board game against Detroit.
Philly hasn’t done a particularly good job limiting opposing rebounders, allowing 52.4 total RPG, the most in the NBA. Towns already grabbed 12 rebounds against the Sixers on opening night despite logging just 24 minutes, and he’s since recorded 10, 14, 20, and 13 rebounds. He’s pulling down huge boards and should be in a good spot to expose the Sixers’ weak rebounding tonight.
Jalen Brunson Less than 36.5 PRA
Brunson just exploded for 38 against the Bulls, but this will still be a difficult matchup tonight against the Sixers. That 38 piece was the only time Brunson exceeded 36.5 PRA this season, with totals of 29, 25, 35, and 31 in his other four appearances. The Sixers already held Brunson to 21 points, five rebounds, and three assists on October 20, when he shot just 6-of-19 from the field.
Philly’s been excellent defensively through five games, allowing just 107.4 PPG and 22.8 APG, ranking fifth and third, respectively, in fewest allowed. Brunson is still New York’s primary offensive weapon, obviously, but this matchup will be difficult.
