DraftKings NBA Pick6 fantasy basketball lineup for March 15
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 33.5 points: MORE
I know, this is a very large number here. But, we’re talking about the MVP frontrunner here.
SGA is averaging 32.8 points per night and continues to torch essentially every opponent he faces, no matter how solid their defense may be.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has scored more than 33.5 points in four of his last five, which is honestly insane. He just had 34 three days ago and went for 40+ in three straight appearances earlier this month. SGA will torch the Detroit Pistons tonight.
Stephen Curry 25.5 points: MORE
I’ve had Stephen Curry in my entries a lot lately because he’s really stepped it up a notch offensively since Jimmy Butler arrived and since the All-Star festivities in the Bay Area, averaging 27.8 PPG in 11 outings. We’re seeing signature Steph right now and the Golden State Warriors are also winning a lot of games.
While Curry just scored less than 25.5 points in back-to-back games, he did surpass tonight’s total in three straight prior to that. The Dubs face the NY Knicks tonight and Curry is historically solid against them in his career, averaging right around 25 PPG.
Cade Cunningham 9.5 assists: LESS
The Pistons are good again after years in the Eastern Conference gutter, and Cade Cunningham is a large reason for their success. The former first-overall pick is averaging 25.9 points, 9.3 assists, and 6.0 rebounds. We’ll focus on his playmaking tonight against the OKC Thunder.
While Cunningham has compiled more than 9.5 dimes in three of his last five appearances, OKC is Top 5 in the fewest assists allowed and remains one of the top defensive teams in the Association. His total is too high for me here.
Nikola Vucevic 13.5 points: MORE
Nikola Vucevic has fallen off a cliff offensively in recent weeks after being a hot commodity at the trade deadline. The Chicago Bulls big man is averaging a mere 13.8 points in four outings. However, he’s been battling a calf injury but is finally healthy and just returned to the starting unit.
His minutes are still being increased each game but "Vooch" is averaging over 18 PPG. Yes, he’s scored less than 13.5 points in both games since returning from injury, but I do think you’ll see him play better tonight with a bigger workload.
Jimmy Butler 5.5 rebounds: LESS
Perhaps he’s not putting up massive numbers, but Jimmy Butler has made a drastic difference for the Dubs since arriving. They’ve only lost once with him in the lineup. We’ll focus on rebounding this evening as Golden State visits MSG.
Butler has grabbed less than 5.5 boards in three of his previous five outings and has only averaged four rebounds per game against the Knicks this season, who allow the fewest rebounds per night in the league.
Jalen Green 22.5 points: MORE
Jalen Green is the clear-cut star for the Houston Rockets as they eye the playoffs. He’s averaging 21.1 points this season and has dropped more than 22.5 points in two straight appearances, erupting for 29 and 23.
While he’s not playing his best basketball in March, Green is in a rhythm after back-to-back impressive performances and I expect that to continue against the Bulls here at home. He’ll ball out and help his squad grab a win.
