Thursday’s nine-game NBA slate provides us with a wealth of excitement around the league in the final night before the All-Star break. When creating lineups, it’s important to find value spots that open up space for getting the superstars. Below are three NBA daily fantasy picks to use on Dream11 based on Awesemo’s grades and values.
Dream11 NBA Picks: Awesemo Grades | March 4
C Nerlens Noel: 6 Credits
Once again, Noel checks in as one of the best values on the entire slate. Lucky for us, he owes us one after falling short of expectations in San Antonio on Wednesday.
Mitchell Robinson remains out and Taj Gibson is doubtful, adding more minutes to Noel’s outlook. That is not to mention that the Knicks are facing a Pistons team that will be on the back end of a back-to-back set. We can probably expect Detroit to be a bit sloppy in this scenario, so look for Noel to capitalize with a few blocks and steals. It is can be frustrating at times with him, having to deal with the lack of scoring. Nevertheless, this is too advantageous of a spot to pass on.

Although the Kings played last night, Barnes is in a great spot to take aim at a Trail Blazers team that is also playing their second game in as many nights. I expect this to be a high-scoring game, as evidenced by the 236.5-point total. Having a guy that is projected to play a slate-high 38 minutes would be a nice addition to your lineup. In fact, Barnes hasn’t played fewer than 38 minutes in each of the last three games.
Since missing a short three-game stint in mid-February, Barnes is steadily averaging 21.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game in five contests. If you’re looking for some salary relief with guaranteed production that won’t sink you, Barnes is your guy.

SF Andrew Wiggins: 13.5 Credits
With the Warriors resting Stephen Curry and Draymond Green (and Kelly Oubre listed as questionable), the outlook on Wiggins is starting to look quite appealing. Wiggins gets a massive usage rate bump from 23.0% to 30.4% with those three guys off the court.
It may not be a pretty game between the Suns and Warriors, but we’re just looking for individual production. Look for Wiggins to get his offensive production in any event, especially if Oubre does miss tonight’s game. Stay tuned to the news and info throughout the day.
