Bill Yin makes his DraftKings Pick6 selections for tonight’s slate of NBA games.

There’s only three games on the slate tonight but we’ll be looking for action regardless. The Raptors are visiting the Cavs, the Hawks go to Utah, and the Pacers are stopping by in Phoenix to close out the night.

There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in the action this evening. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this year is Pick6 Fantasy Basketball!

This article will look at my top Pick6 plays for tonight’s slate. We simply choose whether a player will record more or less of the set statistic. Here are my six favorite plays for tonight’s action.

Jalen Johnson More than 20.5 Points

Johnson is rolling this season with 20.5 PPG, 8.7 RPG, and 5.5 APG. He’s also shooting 58.6% from the floor and there’s still room for him to improve. Despite Trae Young’s injury, Johnson has sustained his efficient shooting but hasn’t started taking more shots than he did last season. He’s coming off a 24 point, 10-rebound, eight assist game in just 24 minutes with a monster +39 in a rout over the Sacramento Kings.

Johnson will continue hunting for his own offense tonight while also playmaking for his team.

Andrew Nembhard More Than 16.5 Points

Nembhard was a popular sleeper option for many prior to the season due to the injury to Tyrese Haliburton. And so far he hasn’t disappointed, putting up 16.3 PPG with 6.5 APG while shooting 37.5% from the floor. His PPG could be even higher if he positively regresses to his average mark of around 46% and he should continue getting all the work he can handle tonight against Phoenix. He’s only appeared in four games due to an injury, but there’s big things coming for Nembhard this season due to the shoes he has to fill in Indiana this year.

Pascal Siakam More Than 25.5 Points

Phoenix is an average defense this season, sitting at 14th in the NBA. Siakam is putting in a lot of work with 24.6 PPG on the season and should continue lifting Indiana’s offense. They’re unfortunately 1-10, an ugly record that reflects on the negative impact of losing Tyrese Haliburton for the season. As a result of the Pacers’ reliance on Siakam, he’s putting up a career-high 19.9 FGA. He hasn’t been as efficient as he usually is, but he’ll continue putting up a ton of shots and should exceed 25.5 points tonight.
