DraftKings NBA Pick6 fantasy basketball lineup for February 10
Kyrie Irving 27.5 points: LESS
Kyrie Irving is the main man for the Dallas Mavericks after Luka Doncic was traded and Anthony Davis suffered an injury in his team debut. However, Irving has scored less than 27.5 points in six of his last eight outings. The guard is averaging 24.1 points per game for the season.
He averaged less than 27.5 against the Sacramento Kings last season across three appearances and tends to play worse at home, putting up 21.2 points compared to 26.8 on the road. He’ll have a quiet one tonight in North Texas.
Nikola Jokic 27.5 points: MORE
Nikola Jokic looks well on his way to another MVP award, averaging 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 10.3 assists. The big man has registered more than 27.5 points in four of his last six appearances and still finished with 26 on Friday evening in Phoenix.
The Joker and the Denver Nuggets are up against the Portland Trail Blazers tonight, who had won six straight before losing on Saturday. Jokic dropped 34 on Portland earlier in the season and averaged 28.3 against them in three games in 2023-24. Besides, Jokic has never shied away from strong competition, so a surging Blazers squad won't contain him.
Luka Doncic 6.5 assists: MORE
It’s Doncic’s Los Angeles Lakers debut tonight, so this one could be a little bit dicey. However, there’s more than enough evidence to back it up. As we know, Luka is a phenomenal playmaker and he’s averaged 7.8 assists this season in 22 games.
The Utah Jazz are horrible defensively and Doncic is averaging 8.5 dimes against them this season already. Yes, it’s a new team and a new system, which could take time for Luka to get used to, but he will hit the ground running as a facilitator.
Donovan Mitchell 3.5 threes: MORE
Donovan Mitchell is an elite 3-point shooter, averaging 3.7 makes on 9.3 attempts per night for a 39% clip. He’s feeling it from long range right now, too, draining more than 3.5 triples in six of his last eight outings. Spida is also taking a lot more treys lately, with over 10 attempts in four of the last five.
Mitchell converted four 3-pointers the last time he faced the Minnesota Timberwolves. While Minnesota has held opponents to just a 34.7% clip from downtown, the Cavs star is chucking up enough triples to hit another four here.
Domantas Sabonis 13.5 rebounds: MORE
Domantas Sabonis is having a wonderful season overall, but his presence on the glass is his biggest strength. The big man leads the Association with 14.3 rebounds per game. Over the last 12 games, he’s grabbed more than 13.5 boards on nine occasions, bringing down 30 rebounds across his last two outings alone.
Also, the Mavs are without AD, which would’ve been a tough matchup inside for Sabonis. But without him, the Kings center should thrive. He also had 16 rebounds versus Dallas earlier this season when AD was still on the Lakers.
Rudy Gobert 11.5 rebounds: LESS
Rudy Gobert is still averaging 10.4 rebounds per contest, but that’s his lowest total since the 2014-15 season. He did grab more than 11.5 in three straight earlier this month before registering 11 and 10 rebounds, respectively, across his last two appearances.
The main reason I’m eyeing this entry is because Minnesota is taking on the Cavs, who have Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen in their frontcourt. Cleveland is 10th in fewest rebounds allowed and they will give Gobert a difficult time on the glass.
Jon Metler's DraftKings NBA Pick6 lineup for today
Luka Doncic is making his Lakers debut tonight, but in the @Pick6 game, his total is sitting at 28.5. If that comes down to match his betting total of 26.5, I’d add him to the card.
