DraftKings NBA Pick6 fantasy basketball lineup for March 11
James Harden 26.5 points: MORE
James Harden may not be putting up the same numbers as 3-4 years ago, but he’s still a very productive player. The Beard is averaging 22.2 PPG this season and has been the LA Clippers’ most consistent player alongside Norman Powell.
The veteran has been balling out lately, scoring more than 26.5 points in three consecutive appearances. That includes a 50-point outing on March 5. He’ll face the New Orleans Pelicans tonight, whom Harden scored 27 against earlier this season.
Damian Lillard 24.5 points: MORE
Damian Lillard is once again having an impressive campaign, averaging 25.5 points per night. He’s scoring 24.1 PPG since the All-Star break and has registered more than 24.5 points in three of his last five appearances. Lillard even went for 34 last week.
While he’s only averaging 17 points this season against tonight’s opponent in the Indiana Pacers, he’s scoring 24.9 points on the road and 26.6 so far in March across five outings. Dame will show out.
Darius Garland 6.5 assists: MORE
Darius Garland is a crucial piece for the Cleveland Cavaliers in a variety of ways, but playmaking is arguably his best asset. The guard leads the Cavs in dimes, averaging 6.7 per night. He’s dished out more than 6.5 dimes in three of his last five contests but has only seven assists combined across the previous two.
That being said, Garland and the Cavs will face the lowly Brooklyn Nets tonight, who are toward the bottom of the league in assists allowed. He’s also averaging seven dimes against them across three meetings in 2024-25.
Pascal Siakam 1.5 threes: LESS
Pascal Siakam has been arguably the Indiana Pacers’ best player this season and while he doesn’t shoot the three a lot, he’s efficient when doing so. Siakam is draining 1.7 triples on 4.3 attempts for a 40% clip.
However, the veteran has sunk less than 1.5 triples in four of his last five games. Milwaukee is also holding opponents to a 34% clip from beyond the arc. I don’t think you’ll see Siakam lighting it up from downtown this evening.
Jalen Duren 11.5 rebounds: MORE
I’ve never included Jalen Duren for anything other than his rebounding because, to be honest, it’s his best skill by a mile. He’s a physical presence on the glass, averaging 10.3 boards per night. Although he had only 10 rebounds the last time he faced the Washington Wizards, there’s reason to believe that will be a higher number tonight.
Duren has grabbed more than 11.5 boards in three of his last four, registering 12, 13, and 12 rebounds. The Wizards also allow over 16 boards per night to centers. He could dominate on the glass here.
Jordan Poole 22.5 points: LESS
Jordan Poole has been enjoying a respectable campaign for the lowly Wizards, averaging 21.2 PPG in 53 appearances. Although he has scored more than 22.5 points in three of his last five, Poole is averaging just 20.8 points on the road compared to nearly 22 at home. Washington visits Detroit here.
Also, Poole only dropped 22 points against the Pistons earlier in the campaign. Detroit is playing well on both ends of the floor and I believe they will keep him in check.
