DraftKings Pick6 Predictions Today – NBA Slate
Immanuel Quickley M/L 7.5 Assists
A rather large number for Quickley to hit tonight as the Raptors are currently eight point home dogs. The Magic are rolling this year and keeping scores low in the process. Toronto is shot and their season is on the brink after losing five straight games. It would take a masterful performance by a struggling Raptors team to overcome the Magic, even in Toronto. The blowout potential aside, the Raptors face a far tougher defensive team, with scoring now at a premium.
Quickley has passed this assist total in three of the five games during the losing streak. While he’s averaging 10 dimes in halfway through the month of March, it’s been a far cry from his typical averages – well below the 7.5 number we see tonight. It’s a tough ask to hit the over in this game, with Orlando’s defensive presence, the Raptors unwillingness to play good basketball, and massive blowout potential. That’s a lot working against Quickley.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Immanuel Quickley LESS Than 7.5 Assists
Clint Capela M/L 25.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
This might seem like a small hurdle for Clint Capela to clear, especially with a lower number added to the assists total. Add the two teams playing in the Hawks and Jazz, especially in Utah, and we have a recipe for an over. The totals have been cruising over in Salt Lake but that doesn’t automatically mean every player is going over on every stat. Capela still needs shot volume to clear this total and can’t survive on rebounds alone.
He’s surpassed this number in three straight games which will have Pick6 players salivating at the over. We know better as this is a tougher matchup especially for scoring points. Look no further than their previous matchup where Capela was held to a limited scoring effort and under this current 25.5 PRA.
With just nine points against the Jazz in their first meeting, Capela is more in line with how centers are scoring against Utah. It should remain the same tonight as there will be plenty of fireworks, even some from Clint Capela, but all ending under 25.5 PRA.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Clint Capela LESS Than 25.5 PRA
Bruce Brown M/L 5.5 Rebounds
We return to the Raptors where Bruce Brown is another player going a little higher than average with his rebounds. The volatility is real with Brown, but he’s typically below this 5.5 number. We’ve seen a 10 board and 8 rebound game over his past four, but mostly staying quiet in this category. The recent explosions in boards might have Pick6 players hungry for more, but we know better to double dip with Brown against Orlando.
This is a low scoring, tough matchup, type game against a Magic team that’s won seven of ten. The tailspin Toronto is currently experiencing isn’t going to stop tonight at home, nor will it be because Brown controls the glass. Neither one of these teams are good rebounding units, which doesn’t bode well for Brown. There’s no true angle or advantage for him, nor will the tempo allow it.
Brown had 10 boards in a high scoring loss in Denver, and 8 in an even higher scoring game against the Mavericks. Tonight will be much closer to Brown’s typical output of less than 5.5 rebounds.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Bruce Brown LESS Than 5.5 Rebounds
