DraftKings NBA Pick6 fantasy basketball lineup for April 10
Jalen Brunson 26.5 points: MORE
Jalen Brunson is back and healthy ahead of the playoffs. While his return game was a quiet 15-point performance, Brunson showed out on Tuesday night with 27 points against the Celtics. He’s scored more than 26.5 points in three of his last five appearances.
I’m eyeing this bet mainly because of Brunson’s success against tonight’s opponent, the Detroit Pistons. In three meetings, the guard is averaging a whopping 32.7 points.
Ja Morant 25.5 points: MORE
Ja Morant has been on fire since the Memphis Grizzlies fired Taylor Jenkins. He’s registered more than 25.5 points in four consecutive outings, even posting 30+ in two of those games. Ja just balled out for 28 on Tuesday against the Charlotte Hornets.
He’s averaging 31 ppg in April and couldn’t be more confident.
Desmond Bane 2.5 threes: MORE
Desmond Bane is one of the better 3-point shooters in the Association. He’s draining 2.3 triples on 6.0 attempts for a 38% clip this season. Bane has converted more than 2.5 treys in three of his last five contests and even had four 3-pointers last weekend against the Pistons.
Karl-Anthony Towns 24.5 points: MORE
Karl-Anthony Towns is averaging 24.4 points per night and has put up 27 ppg in April across four appearances. The big man has dropped more than 24.5 points in three of his last four, even erupting for 34 against Boston earlier in the week.
Tyrese Haliburton 10.5 assists: LESS
Tyrese Haliburton is third in the league in assists, averaging 9.2. While he has dished out more than 10.5 dimes in three of his last five games, the guard is up against the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight, who held him to just five dimes earlier in the campaign.
The Cavs are eighth in fewest assists allowed and eighth in defensive rating. Even though Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland are out tonight, I’ll still ride Cleveland’s defense to keep Haliburton in check.
Trae Young 2.5 threes: MORE
Trae Young is lighting it up for the Atlanta Hawks, who will be looking to make some noise in the Play-In Tournament. The guard is averaging 24.1 points on 33.8% shooting from 3-point range, averaging 2.8 makes on 8.4 attempts per game.
Ice Trae is hitting lots of triples lately. He’s drained more than 2.5 treys in the last five games, averaging 3.0 makes in April so far, and has converted an average of 2.5 threes against the Brooklyn Nets this season in two meetings.
