DraftKings NBA Pick6 fantasy basketball lineup for April 16
Tyler Herro 24.5 points: MORE
Tyler Herro had a fantastic regular season for the Miami Heat, averaging a career-best and team-best 23.9 points. The guard has scored more than 24.5 points in three of his last five appearances, averaging 26.4 ppg in April.
The Kentucky product plays well against the Chicago Bulls, too. In three meetings this season, he’s put up 24.7 points. Chicago is considered an easier matchup for point guards, allowing nearly 26 ppg. Herro will do his part tonight.
Coby White 22.5 points: LESS
Coby White has been a great story this season for the Bulls.
After the Zach LaVine trade, he emerged as the main man for Chicago. He averaged 24.5 points post-All-Star break and was easily one of the most consistent scorers in the Association for a couple of months.
However, he’s been struggling lately. White has registered less than 22.5 points in three straight contests, finishing in single digits in his most recent game. He also averages right around 20 points against the Heat.
Andrew Wiggins 18.5 points: LESS
Andrew Wiggins has seemed to find a new home in South Beach. He averaged 19 points in 17 games with the Heat since coming over in the Jimmy Butler trade from the Golden State Warriors. That being said, Wiggins hasn’t been scoring the rock at the highest level lately.
He’s put up less than 18.5 points in four consecutive outings and scored just 10 in his final regular-season game. Wiggins hasn’t played particularly well against the Bulls either, averaging 17.7 points across three meetings in 2024-25.
Josh Giddey 9.5 assists: MORE
Josh Giddey is easily the Bulls’ top playmaker and one of their best players.
He averaged 7.2 dimes this season and has been on a tear when it comes to facilitating the basketball. The Aussie has dished out more than 9.5 dimes in four of his last five appearances.
Giddey had 11 assists in his last contest, and during this span, dished out 12+ assists twice. He’s also averaging 10.0 dimes against the Heat.
Spencer Dinwiddie 1.5 threes: LESS
Spencer Dinwiddie didn’t have the best season overall, and he certainly struggled at times from long range.
The veteran averaged just 1.4 makes on 4.1 attempts for a 33.4% clip from 3-point land. The Dallas Mavericks guard has drained less than 1.5 treys in three straight, converting a combined three triples during that span.
He’s averaging 2.3 makes against the Sacramento Kings this season, but I’ll focus on the trends instead here. Dinwiddie will have another cold night from beyond the arc.
Nikola Vucevic 17.5 points: LESS
Nikola Vucevic was involved in constant trade rumors, but he ended up staying in Chicago. However, his production was down in the second half, averaging only 16.6 points. He’s scored less than 17.5 points in three of his last five contests.
In two games versus Miami, he’s also averaging just 16 points. Vooch isn’t playing consistent basketball. I don’t see him putting up big numbers this evening.
