It’s a busier slate tonight, with 11 games on the schedule across the Association. I’ll focus on the likes of Devin Booker, Victor Wembanyama, and Zion Williamson here, while I’m also expecting Trae Young to drop dimes on the Spurs in De’Aaron Fox’s debut with his new team.

DraftKings NBA Pick6 fantasy basketball lineup for February 4
Devin Booker 27.5 Points: MORE
The Suns may not be a contender, but Devin Booker is certainly doing his part. The guard is averaging 26.1 ppg this season. Kevin Durant is balling out too, but Phoenix is listening to trade offers for him and he likely won’t play tonight, which means a bigger workload on Book’s shoulders.
The Kentucky product has scored more than 27.5 points in four consecutive outings, dropping 31, 37, and 34 in the last three. Yes, the Suns are facing the Thunder who are absolutely elite, but no KD means Booker is the main option. He’ll produce the goods.
Victor Wembanyama 23.5 Points: MORE
Victor Wembanyama continues to prove why he could be the next face of the NBA, averaging an impressive 24.6 ppg in Year 2. He has a new star teammate in De’Aaron Fox, who will make his debut tonight. But, that doesn’t mean Wembanyama won’t show out.
The Frenchman has registered more than 23.5 points in three of his last five appearances and the Spurs take on the Hawks tonight, who are a poor defensive team, especially against centers. They’re allowing just under 23 ppg to bigs and Wemby dropped 42 on them earlier this season.
Trae Young 10.5 Assists: MORE
Now we shift our focus to another player from the Spurs vs. Hawks matchup — Trae Young. The guard’s scoring numbers are definitely down this season, but he hasn’t missed a beat as a playmaker.
Young is averaging a whopping 11.5 assists in 2024-25. The Spurs are 19th in assists allowed and Young dropped a mind-boggling 16 dimes on Victor Wembanyama & Co. already this season.
Zion Williamson 23.5 Points: LESS
This entry is against the trends, but I have my reasons. Zion Williamson compiled more than 23.5 points in four straight before putting up just 14 two nights ago against the Denver Nuggets as Nikola Jokic contained the big man.
The Pelicans face that same team tonight on the road, where Zion is averaging just 20.3 points. At home, that number balloons to 27.6 ppg. He also averages 20.3 against West opponents. It’s a small sample size given he just returned from injury, but it’s another reason to back this one.
Walker Kessler 11.5 Rebounds: MORE
Walker Kessler is a beast on the boards, averaging exactly 11.5 rebounds. He’s grabbed 15, 15, and 13 in three of his last five appearances and has averaged 14 boards across two February games so far. In January, he averaged 12.4.
Tonight is a clear opportunity for the big man to dominate the glass again. The Warriors allow 16.1 rebounds per contest to centers and rank 24th in boards allowed. Kessler should put in work.
CJ McCollum 4.5 Assists: MORE
CJ McCollum hasn’t been facilitating the rock as well as he has in past seasons, averaging only 3.8 dimes. However, I am eyeing this entry because of how he’s played against Denver. On Monday, CJ had five assists against them and he’s averaged seven assists versus the Nuggets this season.
Denver allows 5.6 dimes per night to shooting guards and McCollum is averaging 4.4 assists against the West as opposed to 3.1 against Eastern Conference teams. He also averaged seven assists vs. the Nuggets last season.
