DraftKings NBA Pick6 fantasy basketball lineup for March 3
Anfernee Simons 20.5 points: MORE
Anfernee Simons leads the charge for the lowly Portland Trail Blazers, averaging 18.7 points this season. He’s dropped more than 20.5 points in six of his previous 10 appearances and just balled out for 27 on Sunday against the high-flying Cleveland Cavaliers.
The guard scored 25 the last time he faced the Philadelphia 76ers and they’re allowing 22.2 points to shooting guards. Also, Simons is averaging 22.9 points against the Eastern Conference compared to 17.1 against the West.
Cade Cunningham 25.5 points: MORE
This entry may be against the trends, but hear me out. Although Cade Cunningham has scored less than 25.5 points in four of his last five, he is averaging a career-high 25.2 points on the season and is primed for his first truly big performance since the ASG break.
The main reason I’m eyeing this entry is because Cunningham destroyed the Utah Jazz the last time he faced them, balling out for 33 points. This is the perfect game for the Detroit Pistons star to break out and help his squad grab a win, especially as Utah has struggled to stop anyone with or without their usual starting five.
Stephen Curry 5.5 assists: MORE
Steph Curry is enjoying a solid campaign and has been the Golden State Warriors’ top playmaker. He’s averaging 6.2 assists and that number has jumped to seven since the All-Star break, and he's dished out more than 5.5 assists in three of the last five.
He’s coming off a 13-assist performance and had six dimes against the Charlotte Hornets when Golden State last faced them. The Dubs are on the road tonight to take on LaMelo Ball & Co., and the Hornets are 21st in most assists allowed
Mark Williams 10.5 rebounds: MORE
Mark Williams’ trade to the Los Angeles Lakers may have fallen through, but Charlotte has to be happy to have him back. He’s a physical presence down low and has averaged 9.8 rebounds per night this season.
The big man has dominated on the glass lately, grabbing more than 10.5 boards in three straight, registering 12, 16, and 12, respectively, during that span. The Warriors frankly don’t have a legitimate center who can outplay Williams on the glass. He also brought down 12 rebounds against them earlier in the campaign.
Klay Thompson 3.5 threes: MORE
Klay Thompson may not be putting up gigantic numbers, but he’s still an elite 3-point shooter, averaging 3.1 makes on 7.8 attempts this season for a 40.2% clip. He’s been feeling it from downtown as of late, draining more than 3.5 triples in four of his last five games.
The Dallas Mavericks veteran is also averaging exactly 3.5 converted treys across two meetings with the Sacramento Kings in ‘24-25. Dallas will be in California to visit them tonight, and Thompson’s hot hand will be at it again.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 30.5 points: MORE
I know this is a high total, but we’re talking about the MVP front-runner. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging a league-best 32.3 PPG this season and has shown out for more than 30.5 points in three of his last five contests, scoring 32, 31, and 31.
Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder take on the Houston Rockets tonight and even though they’re a solid group, he’s had no problem scoring at a high level against them this season, averaging an impressive 31 points across three meetings.
