DraftKings NBA Pick6 fantasy basketball lineup for February 11
Anthony Edwards 30.5 points: MORE
Anthony Edwards is killing the competition and that’s exactly why his scoring total is set so high tonight. He’s scored more than 30.5 points in four of his last five and erupted for 40+ in three straight appearances. Yes, you read that correctly.
The Minnesota Timberwolves guard is averaging 38.8 points per game in February and continues to play with a boatload of confidence. The Milwaukee Bucks are without Giannis Antetokounmpo and I frankly don’t see anyone on their roster stopping Edwards from going off again, especially if he finds a rhythm early.
Damian Lillard 27.5 points: MORE
With Giannis sidelined through the All-Star break, it's truly Damian Lillard Time in Milwaukee. Since his running mate went on the shelf, Lillard is averaging 33.2 points in four games.
The guard has scored more than 27.5 points in three of his last four and just showed out for 38 in a loss to the Warriors on Monday night, despite having a sore hamstring. Given that Dame is the No. 1 option for a team with postseason aspirations, he'll need to shoulder the scoring load.
Nikola Jokic 9.5 assists: MORE
Nikola Jokic is doing it all once again for the Denver Nuggets. He’s averaging 10.3 assists this season and has dished out more than 9.5 dimes in five of his last seven. Even across the last two games, the big man still finished with eight and nine assists, respectively.
He’s averaging 11 dimes in six February outings and the Portland Trail Blazers are 17th in most assists allowed per game. While Jokic has only averaged eight dimes against them this season, that isn't predictive of future struggles or low totals.
Walker Kessler 11.5 rebounds: MORE
Walker Kessler has been in my entries many times for this exact play. After all, he is a massive man and averages 11.9 rebounds per night. He’s grabbed more than 11.5 boards in five straight and even had 22 against the Suns on February 7 and another 12 in a blowout loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday.
The Utah Jazz are up against Los Angeles again tonight and he’s averaged exactly 11.5 rebounds versus LeBron James & Co. in 2024-25. They lack a legitimate big after trading away Anthony Davis, too. Kessler should put in work on the glass.
Donovan Mitchell 24.5 points: MORE
Donovan Mitchell is doing his thing for the East-leading Cleveland Cavaliers, averaging 24 PPG on 39% shooting from 3-point land. Mitchell has posted more than 24.5 points in three of his last six but also finished with 24 in one of those contests as well.
He’s averaged 23.5 points against the Toronto Raptors this season and does score more on the road, averaging 25.6 points compared to 22.7 on home soil. Toronto is not great defensively and Mitchell flourishes away from Cleveland.
Scottie Barnes 6.5 assists: LESS
I went with this entry on Tuesday and it hit. Plus, Scottie Barnes’ total was sitting at 5.5. Now, it’s at 6.5. While the forward has averaged 6.3 dimes in ‘24-25 and 6.7 against the Cavs in three meetings, he’s not thriving as a playmaker lately.
Barnes has had less than 6.5 assists in three of his last five appearances. Cleveland is Top 10 in fewest dimes allowed and Barnes is averaging just 5.5 in February.
