Bill Yin makes his DraftKings Pick6 selections for tonight’s slate of NBA games.
There’s just three games tonight, with the Aces visiting the Wings at 8 PM EST, the Fire visiting the Lynx at the same time, and the Sparks visiting the Valkyries at 10 PM EST.
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 favorite plays for tonight’s action.
Kelsey Plum More Than 28.5 PRA
Kelsey Plum’s 28.5 PRA line is the best all-around value on this board. She’s averaging 26.6 PPG, 2.2 RPG, and 6.9 APG, putting her season baseline well above this number before even getting into matchup context. Golden State has allowed only 79.8 PPG, one of the lowest opponent scoring marks on this slate, but that’s part of why this PRA angle is cleaner than just taking Plum’s points. Even if the Valkyries make her work for buckets, Plum’s on-ball role gives her enough passing volume to get there without needing another huge scoring night.
Jessica Shepard More Than 28.5 PRA
Jessica Shepard’s 28.5 PRA line stands out because her production is spread across all three categories, like Plum. She’s averaging 13.6 PPG, 11.3 RPG, and 5.5 APG, so this number sits below her season baseline already while giving her multiple ways to clear. That matters against Las Vegas, where Dallas should need Shepard’s rebounding and frontcourt playmaking to keep the offense stable. She does not need a big scoring night here, just her usual mix of boards, short-roll passing, and second-chance involvement.
A’ja Wilson More Than 24.5 Points
A’ja Wilson’s points line is a nice play for this slate. She’s averaging a massive 26.2 PPG, and DK has her at just 24.5 points, which gives her room to clear on a fairly normal scoring night. Dallas is not the toughest scoring matchup on this board, and Wilson’s role is as stable as it gets for Las Vegas. With her mix of post touches, face-up scoring, and ability to get to the line, she has a decently clean path to 25 points tonight.
