DraftKings NBA Pick6 Picks for Today: Fantasy Basketball Lineup for April 13
Zak Hanshew's DraftKings Pick6 selections believe Kawhi Leonard will step up in today's huge Clippers-Warriors game. He also has a trio of surprising plays from today's Lakers-Trail Blazers tilt that could help make the difference for you.
Nuggets vs Rockets Prediction, Picks & Odds for Today's NBA Game
Nikola Jokic is averaging a triple-double for the Nuggets this year, and our NBA betting picks will gladly snap up +120 odds on him to record another triple-double vs. a Rockets team with much less to play for than Denver.
Bucks vs Pistons Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game
Recent matchups between these two sides have seen plenty of offense, and tonight's game will see more of the same.
Clippers vs Kings Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game
Our Clippers vs. Kings expert NBA predictions expect a high-scoring game in Sac Town and strong performances from Zach LaVine and Kawhi Leonard.
Cavaliers vs Pacers Prediction, Picks & Best Bet for Tonight’s NBA Game
Hanshew's pick: The depleted Cavaliers will come away with a win they don't even need against the Pacers, and it will present a great opportunity for Ty Jerome to score more than usual in an expanded role.
Rockets vs Clippers Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game
With Houston having nothing to play for and Los Angeles looking for home-court advantage in Round 1, our Rockets vs. Clippers predictions expect the home side to win big.
Celtics vs Knicks Prediction, Picks & Best Bets for Tonight’s NBA Game
Derrick White is bound to get more minutes with the Celtics potentially shorthanded tonight, but his prop lines do not reflect that. Our NBA betting picks expect White to stuff the stat sheet vs. the Knicks.
Spurs vs Clippers Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game
With the Spurs severely shorthanded in the frontcourt, Clippers big man Ivica Zubac is in an ideal position to score and clean glass.
Kings vs Pistons Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game
Zach LaVine is no stranger to the Pistons and has regularly torched them throughout his career. With the Kings' season hanging in the balance, the guard will show the best version of his self tonight in Detroit.

Timberwolves vs 76ers Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game
