DraftKings NBA Pick6 fantasy basketball lineup for February 25
Giannis Antetokounmpo 27.5 points: LESS
The Greek Freak is having another impressive campaign for the Bucks, averaging 31 points, 12 rebounds, and 5.8 assists. However, he is nursing an injury right now and it’s clearly affected his production, scoring less than 27.5 points in three straight games since the All-Star break.
Also, Giannis Antetokounmpo put up just 20 points in a matchup with the Rockets earlier this season. Houston is a solid defensive group as well, and I believe they will keep him in check.
Stephen Curry 26.5 points: MORE
The Warriors have been thriving since acquiring Jimmy Butler in a trade with the Heat and Stephen Curry is also benefiting. He’s registered more than 26.5 points in six of his previous 10 outings and just dropped 30 on the Mavericks on Sunday.
We’re starting to see more of the signature Steph and it certainly has to do with the space that Butler is creating for Golden State. They’re taking on a lowly Charlotte Hornets team tonight as well, so Curry should cook again.
Chris Paul 7.5 assists: MORE
The Spurs took a dramatic hit last week with Victor Wembanyama being ruled out for the season. But, that doesn’t take away from Chris Paul’s importance to this Spurs group. He’s averaging eight assists per night and has dished out more than 7.5 in three of his last five appearances.
CP3 is averaging 8.5 assists against tonight’s opponent, the New Orleans Pelicans. They’re also 26th in the Association in most assists allowed. The Point God should have no problems dropping dimes here.
Alperen Sengun 11.5 rebounds: MORE
The Rockets are enjoying a wonderful season and Alperen Sengun is a big reason for it. The center is averaging solid numbers across the board and tonight, we’ll focus on his rebounding. Sengun is averaging 10.5 boards per night and has grabbed more than 11.5 in four straight.
He’s registered 12, 13, 13, and 13 rebounds during that span. Although Sengun wasn’t a beast on the boards against the Bucks this season, the trends point to him having a standout night on the glass.
Devin Booker 2.5 threes: MORE
Devin Booker is shooting 34% from deep in 2024-25, averaging 2.6 makes on 7.7 attempts per night. He’s drained more than 2.5 triples in back-to-back games, going 3-for-8 and 4-for-7 from long range.
Book also shoots it substantially better on the road, averaging 2.9 makes for a 38.5% clip compared to 29% at home. The Suns are in Memphis this evening. Also, he’s draining 3.1 treys per contest against Western Conference opponents.
LeBron James 24.5 points: MORE
At 39 years old, The King is still doing it. LeBron James is averaging 24.7 points per game and has been playing at a high level since the break, scoring more than 24.5 points in all three contests. He’s put up 26, 40, and 25 points during that span.
In February, James is averaging 29.3 PPG. He’s flourishing alongside Luka Doncic and continues to play with confidence post-All-Star. This entry is certainly a good one tonight.
