Best DraftKings Pick6 Entries & Picks For Today March 11

The NBA has four games tonight, with the Bucks and Pacers squaring off in the national television game on TNT.

But while Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal are previewing that contest, we have our eyes on the Clippers vs Pelicans down in The Bayou. We love this matchup, because it gives us a chance to leverage a mismatch.

The Pelicans have the fourth-worst record in the NBA. They allow nearly 120 points per game, and have a terrible time defending mid-range and low post scoring.

The Pelicans have a -4 rebound differential, and their opponents are getting to the line six more times per game. That’s a recipe for trouble against the Clippers, who pass the ball very well, and shoot well from the charity stripe.

LAC has not one, not two, but three legitimate scoring stars: Harden; Kawhi, and Bogan Bogdanović.

Which leads us to our next pick

Bogdanović is a bargain at MORE/LESS 9.5 Points vs New Orleans. When Bogdanović has a favorable matchup, he’s getting minutes.

On Tuesday night, BB will be in a favorable matchup against the New Orleans back court. Sure, Bogdanović has scored only 17 points in his last two games combined, but that’s because his minutes were low due to bad matchups.

This time, Tyronn Lue will have every reason to keep Bogdanović on the hardwood.

Tuesday, Mar. 11 Pick6 Selections

Our player Pick6 for tonight’s NBA competition:

• James Harden More than 26.5 Points (at New Orleans)
• Donovan Mitchell More than 23.5 Points (vs Brooklyn Nets)
• Bogdan Bogdanović More than 9.5 Points (at New Orleans)
• Kawhi Leonard More than 23.5 Points (at New Orleans)

This four-player Pick6 could be worth at least 8X your entry. If you are putting up $50 for example, and you match all four picks, you could win $400 from DraftKings.

Exact winnings will depend on how many players make the same picks and match picks you are successful with

While we generally like to split our picks among more than two games, we chose three players from the Clippers tonight.

That’s because we don’t like the Pelicans (even on their home floor) as a matchup against the firepower of the LAC offense.

Harden and Leonard are beasts from anywhere on the court, including mid-range, where the Pels have a tough time switching to assist when opponents get space.

Harden has been over his point expectation in each of his most recent three games

The Beard is averaging 35.3 points in those games, all of which have been wins for the Clippers. LA is solidly in the running for one of the play-in spots in the western conference.

However, they are also only one game in the loss column behind the No. 6 seed.

There’s plenty to play for as the games slide off the schedule

With Harden lighting up the board, we love his chances to have MORE THAN the 26.5 DraftKings is projecting for his points against the shaky Pelicans on Tuesday.

On Sunday evening against the Sacramento Kings, Kawhi Leonard was abysmal from long range: shooting 1-for-7 on three point attempts.

But, the two-time NBA Finals Most Valuable Player showed his clutch tendencies when he hit a seven-foot floater to beat the Kings in overtime.

Leonard has been under his expected points in his last three games

We can’t see Kawhi struggling from the field again on Tuesday against New Orleans. He’s averaged 22.5 in his career in New Orleans, and he’s due to break out on the scoring line.

If you prefer Kawhi Leonard’s Points + Rebounds + Assists pick: it’s MORE or LESS than 31.5 against the Pelicans.

In Cleveland, the No. 1 seed Cavs host the Nets in a game that should be a cake walk

Cleveland has won 14 straight games, and 18 of 19 dating back to January 27.

With 54 wins, the Cavaliers are on pace to break the franchise record for wins, which is 66, set in 2008-09. There is a chance, if the Cavs stay at their current pace, the team could win 70 games.

Only two teams have ever accomplished that. Mitchell should be a great pick for tonight’s game. More on him below.

Top DraftKings Pick6 Selection for March 11
