For the first time since the stunning trade that shook the NBA on early Sunday morning, ten-time All-Star Anthony Davis will be on the sidelines for the Dallas Mavericks. His new team will be happy to see the big guy, following an embarrassing defeat on Sunday when they allowed 91 points in the first half. Unfortunately, AD will not be playing, due to an abdominal strain.
The Los Angeles Lakers will be on the court for the first time since the blockbuster deal that saw them receive five-time All-NBA forward Luka Dončić. The superstar is still battling injury, so Dončić will be in street clothes, but eyes will still be on him as the Lakers take on the crosstown rival Clippers.
We scored two out of five picks on Monday night, losing our five-way Pick6. But that’s ok: we’re back with a four-way DraftKings Pick6 for the busy Tuesday night NBA schedule.
Tuesday, Feb. 4 DraftKings Pick6 Selections
We have a four-player pick with DraftKings Pick6 app for tonight’s games:
- Kyrie Irving More than 25.5 Points at 76ers
- Jaylen Brown More than 21.5 Points at Cavaliers
- Klay Thompson More than 12.5 Points at 76ers
- Jayson Tatum More than 39.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists at Cavaliers
If we get three of four or all four of our DraftKings Pick6 picks, we’re getting 12x or 2x. Check the DraftKings Pick6 app for more player choices, or download the app now for iPhone or Android.
Forget the Cavaliers and the Thunder: the Boston Celtics are the best team in the NBA. On Tuesday Boston will invade Rock City to face the Cavs, with 5 ½ games separating those teams at the top of the Eastern Conference. I like Tatum and Brown to go off against the Cavalier's defense for big, big games.
In Philly, the revamped Mavs will square off with the 76ers. Anthony Davis will be off the active list with an injury, which means more of the burden will fall on stalwarts Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson in the backcourt. Count on those two veterans to light it up and go more than 25.5 and 12.5 points, respectively, in the City of Brotherly Love.
Where to watch

Best DraftKings Pick6 Selection for February 4
Klay Thompson will get more touches and shots with Luka gone. That means more points for the three-point specialist. We love the more on Klay’s points, especially when AD is off the court, as he will be on Tuesday night.
