DraftKings NBA Pick6 fantasy basketball lineup for March 10
Kevin Durant 25.5 points: MORE
The Phoenix Suns might be failing to live up to expectations this season, but Kevin Durant certainly isn’t. He’s still averaging an impressive 26.8 points per game in 51 appearances. KD has also dropped more than 25.5 points in five of his last seven games.
Before scoring just 21 on Sunday, Durant registered 29, 34, and 26 points. The Suns face the Memphis Grizzlies tonight and the superstar has shown out against them in 2024-25, averaging just over 29 PPG across three meetings.
Desmond Bane 5.5 assists: MORE
Desmond Bane is a key piece for the Grizzlies in various ways. While he’s mostly known for scoring, the guard is also a respectable playmaker. He’s averaging exactly 5.5 assists this season and has compiled more than tonight’s total in three of his last four.
The TCU product is averaging 6.7 assists against the Suns, who've allowed over 34 dimes per game across their last three and sit 23rd in the league in most assists allowed. Bane will facilitate the rock at a high level tonight.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 33.5 points: MORE
This is a ridiculously high number, but we’re talking about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the MVP favorite and a walking bucket. Believe it or not, the Oklahoma City Thunder superstar has scored more than 33.5 points in three consecutive outings, erupting for 51,41, and 40 points. Truly ridiculous.
SGA is up against the Denver Nuggets tonight in a battle between him and MVP hopeful Nikola Jokic. The Canadian is averaging 32 ppg across three games against Denver this season. I have no doubts he’ll impress again.
Tyler Herro 3.5 threes: MORE
Tyler Herro is having a career year for the Miami Heat as their No. 1 option. We’ll focus on his ability to make it rain from downtown. The former Kentucky standout averages 3.6 makes on 9.6 attempts from deep this season for a 37.2% clip.
While he’s only converted more than 3.5 triples once in his last five, Herro has averaged 3.5 makes against the Charlotte Hornets this season, who are towards the bottom of the league in 3-point percentage allowed.
Isaiah Hartenstein 10.5 rebounds: LESS
Isaiah Hartenstein is a physical force down low for the Thunder, averaging 11.3 rebounds per game in 2024-25. While he’s grabbed more than 10.5 boards in three of his last five, the big man had 10 rebounds against the Nuggets earlier this season.
He’ll be up against The Joker tonight, who is an unstoppable force in so many ways, including on the glass. I think Jokic will keep Hartenstein in check as a rebounder tonight.
Stephen Curry 28.5 points: MORE
Post-All-Star, Stephen Curry wasn’t playing his best basketball, but since the festivities in the Bay Area, Steph is averaging a whopping 30.1 ppg in nine appearances. That’s the version of Curry we’re all used to seeing. He’s also scored more than 28.5 points in three of his last five appearances.
Curry showed out for 32 two nights ago and 40 before that. The Portland Trail Blazers are Golden State’s opponents tonight, and they are no prize defensively. Steph is hot and could very well put together another monster performance.
