DraftKings NBA Pick6 fantasy basketball lineup for January XX
Devin Booker 26.5 points: MORE
Devin Booker is balling out lately, scoring more than 26.5 points in four of his last five appearances. In fact, he dropped 30+ in all of those games.
The Suns face the Wizards here, who are a mess in every single area. Also, Booker erupted for 37 against them earlier in the campaign. He’s averaging 27.9 points per night in January as well in 11 appearances.
Stephen Curry 24.5 points: MORE
Stephen Curry isn’t having the most consistent season for the Warriors, averaging just 22.6 points. For Steph’s standards, that isn’t great. But although Curry has failed to score more than 24.5 points in three consecutive contests, there’s reason to believe he could show out.
The veteran will face the Lakers tonight and he hung 38 against them already this season. As for 2023-24, Curry averaged 33 ppg in four appearances versus LeBron James & Co.
Nikola Jokic 10.5 assists: MORE
Nikola Jokic is averaging 10.1 assists this season, and that number shoots up to 11.5 per contest in January. That’s the first reason to like this entry. Secondly, Jokic dished out 17 dimes in his last game.
Also, the center had 13 assists against the Timberwolves already and Denver faces them again this afternoon.
Domantas Sabonis 13.5 rebounds: MORE
When it comes to Domantas Sabonis' rebounding, the big man leads the Association with 14.4 boards per game. He’s on an absolute heater right now, too, grabbing more than 13.5 boards in seven of his last eight outings.
The Lithuanian has registered 19, 18, and 18 rebounds across his previous three games. While he averaged 12.5 against the Knicks last season, he’s just far too dominant from a rebounding standpoint to pass this one up.
Chris Paul 7.5 assists: MORE
While Chris Paul may not be scoring the rock a lot these days, he’s still a tremendous playmaker, averaging an impressive 8.2 assists per night.
Paul has dished out more than 7.5 dimes in five of his last nine games and finished with seven in two of them as well. He compiled seven two days ago in Paris against the Pacers, and San Antonio will clash with them again today. He’s also averaging 8.0 assists in January.
Damian Lillard 3.5 threes: MORE
Damian Lillard has always been known as an elite 3-point shooter and that’s been the case once again in 2024-25. He’s draining 39.5% of his triples, averaging 3.5 makes on 9.0 attempts.
Lillard has converted more than 3.5 treys in four of his last five outings and has averaged 3.7 makes in January. The veteran averaged 5.5 triples on 11 attempts in two games vs. the Clippers last season as well.
