DraftKings NBA Pick6 fantasy basketball lineup for March 26
Jamal Murray 23.5 points: MORE
Jamal Murray is having a solid season for the Nuggets, averaging 21.7 points. He’s been the No. 1 option lately because Nikola Jokic is sidelined with an injury and the Canadian has stepped it up. Murray has scored more than 23.5 points in four of his last five outings.
That includes back-to-back games where he erupted for 28 and 39 points, respectively. The latter helped Denver beat the Houston Rockets despite having no Jokic. Murray is posting 23.7 ppg since the All-Star break and the Milwaukee Bucks, who the Nuggets face tonight, are without Damian Lillard and potentially Giannis Antetokounmpo, too.
Kevin Durant 25.5 points: MORE
The Suns may be having a disappointing campaign, but Kevin Durant is certainly doing his part. The veteran is averaging 26.8 ppg and he’s on a heater right now. KD has registered more than 25.5 points in three consecutive appearances. He just went off for 42 and 38 across his last two. Signature Durant.
Tonight, Phoenix will take on the defending champion Boston Celtics. Yes, they’re elite defensively, but stopping KD is a task for anyone. He’s also averaging over 28 ppg against Eastern Conference opponents. Durant will stay hot.
LeBron James 23.5 points: MORE
Father Time still hasn’t caught up to LeBron James. At 40 years old, he’s still averaging more points than most of the Association with 24.9 ppg. The King has dropped more than 23.5 points in three of his last five games and just had 24 in the Los Angeles Lakers’ most recent contest.
The Purple and Gold face the Indiana Pacers tonight and while James hasn’t clashed with them this season, he’s averaging 25.6 ppg against the East and over 27 points per night since the All-Star break.
Russell Westbrook 13.5 points: MORE
Russell Westbrook has carved out a solid role for himself in Denver, coming off the bench and starting at times. He’s averaging 13.2 ppg this season. Westbrook has dropped more than 13.5 points in three consecutive outings, scoring 14, 14, and 18 points.
Again, Jokic is doubtful to feature this evening, which also opens up more opportunity for Westbrook offensively. I think he’ll benefit and put together another solid performance for the Nuggets.
Karl-Anthony Towns 10.5 rebounds: LESS
Karl-Anthony Towns is having a very efficient first season with the New York Knicks. We’ll focus on his rebounding tonight. KAT is averaging 12.9 boards per night, but that number has dipped to 10.6 in March. Towns has grabbed less than 10.5 rebounds in three of his last five as well.
The Knicks take on the Clippers tonight, who are Top 5 in rebounding. I think Towns will stay below the total here at Madison Square Garden.
Tyrese Haliburton 2.5 threes: LESS
Tyrese Haliburton is averaging 3.0 makes on 7.7 attempts per game for a 38% clip from downtown this season. Very respectable. However, the Pacers guard is draining just 2.4 triples per night in March and has converted less than 2.5 treys in four of his previous five games.
The Lakers are Top 10 in 3-point percentage allowed and Haliburton has been relatively cold from deep as of late. I think Los Angeles will keep him in check from beyond the arc here.
