DraftKings NBA Pick6 fantasy basketball lineup for April 6
Kristaps Porzingis 26.5 points+rebounds: MORE
Kristaps Porzingis is averaging 19.3 points and 6.9 rebounds per game this season, good for 26.2 PR. He could be in line for additional scoring and rebounding opportunities against the Washington Wizards, with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown listed as questionable.
With the No. 2 seed essentially locked up, the Boston Celtics could play it safe with their two superstars and lean into Porzingis as a primary scoring option against his former team. The depleted Wizards have allowed the most points and rebounds to opponents this season, making this a favorable matchup for KP.
Devin Booker 27.5 points: MORE
With Kevin Durant sidelined and the Phoenix Suns on the verge of missing the Play-In Tournament, someone’s got to step up for Phoenix on offense. I expect it to be Devin Booker. Over the last three games (two without Durant), Book has scored 28, 39, and 37 points.
On the season, he’s averaged 25.1 points with Durant in the lineup and 27.9 with KD on the sidelines. Booker has averaged two more points on the road than at home. He scored 28 or more in seven of 15 games without Durant, including a 33-point performance against the New York Knicks.
Nikola Jokic 30.5 points: MORE
Nikola Jokic is enjoying the most productive scoring campaign of his career, and he’s been on an absolute heater as of late.
Across his last eight games, Jokic has averaged a whopping 37.1 points, and he’s scored at least 31 in six of them. On the season, Jokic has hit the mark 27 times, including 16 at home. He’s averaged 30.9 at home and 28.6 on the road, and he’s set up nicely to keep his hot streak going at Ball Arena.
Giannis Antetokounmpo 9.5 assists: MORE
Giannis Antetokounmpo has stepped up as a facilitator since returning from the All-Star break, and he’s been even better as of late. Across his last 10, the Greek Freak has averaged 8.2 assists. In that span, he’s gone for More than 9.5 assists four times, including three straight.
Giannis has averaged 7.6 assists across his last 11 road games, and he’s posted at least 10 assists in two straight on the road. This one gets a 2.1x boost, and I’m willing to take a chance on Giannis stepping up as a playmaker once again.
Stephen Curry 24.5 points: MORE
Stephen Curry averaged 23.4 points pre All-Star Game, and he’s averaged 28 since returning from the break. In that span, Curry has scored More than 24.5 points in four of nine home matchups. He’s been on fire over the last week, posting 36, 37, and 52 points across his last three.
The Golden State Warriors are the No. 5 seed, and they’re just one game out of the No. 3 seed and half a game up from No. 8. Curry surely understands the importance of today’s tilt with the No. 2 seed Houston Rockets, and I expect him to be at his best.
Donovan Mitchell 29.5 points: MORE
Donovan Mitchell hasn’t hit this line too often, but I’m willing to take it at a 1.4x boost. Both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Sacramento Kings rank in the Bottom 9 in defensive rating across their last 10 games, and the point total is set at 236.5 for this matchup.
The Kings have hit the Over in 42 of 77 games, and the Cavs have hit the Over in 49 of 77. Spida may need to take charge and go for More than 29.5 points against a feisty Sacramento squad.
