DraftKings NBA Pick6 fantasy basketball lineup for March 17
Quentin Grimes 20.5 points: MORE
We’ve seen the best version of Quentin Grimes since he arrived in Philly via trade. He’s averaging 19.9 points per game in 16 games with the Philadelphia 76ers, making 13 starts. With an increased workload, he's truly flourishing.
He’s scored more than 20.5 points in four straight appearances, dropping 25, 35, 29, and 28. He's also registered more than tonight’s total in six of his last nine appearances. The numbers against the Houston Rockets aren’t great, but he was just a member of the Mavericks as a bench piece.
Jalen Green 22.5 points: MORE
Jalen Green is a huge reason the Houston Rockets will be a playoff contender. He’s doing his part on a nightly basis, averaging a team-best 21.3 ppg while shooting 35.9% from 3-point land. Green has scored more than 22.5 points in three consecutive, posting 28,23 and 29.
The Sixers are in town, and Green went nuclear against them last November in an overtime victory, showing out for 41 points. He’ll bring his best again as the Rockets search for their seventh straight win.
Chris Paul 6.5 assists: MORE
The Point God is still dropping dimes after all these years, even if the San Antonio Spurs are without their top two stars in Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox. Chris Paul is averaging 7.8 assists this season and has been a solid fit for this young squad.
CP3 has compiled more than 6.5 dimes in three of his last five outings. While he’s finished with less than tonight’s total in back-to-back games, he's averaging nine assists against tonight’s opponent, the Los Angeles Lakers.
Duncan Robinson 2.5 threes: LESS
Duncan Robinson has always been a relatively solid shooter from downtown in his career, and that’s continued this season, averaging 2.5 makes on 6.6 attempts for a 38.5% clip from deep. However, he’s not shooting it too well lately.
He's drained less than 2.5 triples in three of his last five games and finished with a goose egg on March 15 in a loss to the Grizzlies. The Heat face the New York Knicks tonight, and he’s averaging 1.5 made treys against them this season.
Anthony Edwards 27.5 points: MORE
Anthony Edwards continues to prove why he’s one of the brightest stars in the NBA. While he had a brief cold spell after the All-Star break, the Minnesota Timberwolves guard is back at it, dropping more than 27.5 points in three consecutive appearances, scoring 29, 28, and 41 last time.
Ant is averaging 28.4 ppg in March across eight appearances. While he hasn’t faced the Indiana Pacers quite yet this season, who Minnesota goes to battle with tonight, Edwards averaged 40.5 points against them last season.
Jalen Duren 11.5 rebounds: MORE
Cade Cunningham gets a lot of the credit for the Detroit Pistons’ turnaround but Jalen Duren is also an extremely important player. He’s a big, physical center who's never afraid to put his body on the line. Duren is averaging 10.3 rebounds this season.
He’s always making his presence felt on the glass and has grabbed more than 11.5 boards in four of his last five. Before compiling just five rebounds last time out, he had a minimum of 12 in four straight. The Pistons take on the New Orleans Pelicans tonight, one of the worst rebounding teams in the league.
