DraftKings NBA Pick6 fantasy basketball lineup for March 29
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 33.5 Points: MORE
Guess who? I know, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has a very high total again tonight. But he dropped 37 on the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday night and is leading the Association in scoring with 32.7 ppg.
Gilgeous-Alexander appears to be a lock for MVP, and there’s reason to believe he’ll erupt again tonight.
The OKC Thunder are facing the Indiana Pacers, and SGA dropped 45 points on them earlier in the campaign. Gilgeous-Alexander will keep it up and torch the Pacers once again. He is an unstoppable force.
Quentin Grimes 23.5 Points: MORE
Quentin Grimes has been one of the best stories during the second half of the season. With the Philadelphia 76ers ravaged by injuries, he’s stepped up and become their No. 1 option, putting up career-best numbers in the process.
The guard is averaging 23.4 points per night since the All-Star break and 27.5 ppg across 13 appearances in March. Grimes has scored more than 24.5 points in four of his last five outings as well. Grimes will keep it rolling against the Miami Heat.
Josh Giddey 8.5 Assists: MORE
Josh Giddey will be coming into Saturday’s matchup with boatloads of confidence after draining a half-court game-winner against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. When it comes to playmaking, he’s the best passer on this Chicago Bulls roster.
The Aussie is averaging 7.0 assists per game, and he’s dished out more than 8.5 dimes in three straight, finishing with 17,9 and 11 assists. Ridiculous numbers. The Bulls face the depleted Dallas Mavericks tonight. He should facilitate the rock at a high level.
Klay Thompson 2.5 Threes: LESS
It’s common knowledge that Klay Thompson is one of the best three-point shooters around, and he’s been efficient this season, averaging 3.0 makes on 7.7 attempts for a 39% clip. However, Klay has struggled from deep in March, draining just 2.6 treys per night for a 35% clip.
He’s converted less than 2.5 threes in three straight appearances and even finished with zero triples on March 25. Of course, there’s always the chance he can get hot from downtown, but I’m not expecting that to happen. Follow the trends.
Kristaps Porzingis 19.5 Points: MORE
Kristaps Porzingis is on a heater right now for the defending champions. He’s easily registered more than 19.5 points in four of his previous five contests, even balling out for 30 on March 26. This month, he’s averaging 24.4 ppg after missing some time through injury.
The big man is playing confident basketball and the Boston Celtics face the injury-riddled San Antonio Spurs tonight, who Porzingis scored 29 points against earlier in the campaign. He should produce again.
LeBron James 24.5 Points: MORE
Since returning from injury, LeBron James has been playing very poorly. That’s unlike him, and he even cost the Los Angeles Lakers the game on Thursday with a brutal turnover. While The King has scored less than 24.5 points in five consecutive appearances, we’re talking about the GOAT here.
James knows the mistake he made the other night. He is the type of player who will come out and respond in a big way. I do fully believe LeBron is going to have a monster night to redeem himself. LA takes on the Memphis Grizzlies, who shockingly just fired their coach in the middle of a playoff race.
