It will be a great night of NBA action on this six-game Thursday night slate for Dream11 NBA picks. When creating lineups, it’s important to find value spots that open up space for getting the superstars. Below are a few of my favorite plays for Dream11 daily fantasy lineups based on Awesemo’s grades and values.
Dream11 NBA Picks: Awesemo Grades | March 18
PG Immanuel Quickley – 7 Credits, 34.16 Projected Points
PF Julius Randle – 17.5 Credits, 47.70 Projected Points
The Knicks are projected to do some damage tonight, as evidenced by Quickley and Randle being some of the best values on the slate. They will take on a Magic team that had three full days of rest coming into this game. If they take advantage of that rest, it should force the Knicks to be a lot more aggressive on the offensive end.
Quickley is making the most out of getting more minutes via the Derrick Rose injury. He has finally played 30 minutes for the first time season, doing so twice over the last three games. Randle, meanwhile, is having an All-Star season that makes him a nightly consideration. This matchup against Orlando is particularly nice, as it allows the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing power forwards.

SG Anthony Edwards – 9 Credits, 32.84 Projected Points
While everyone is crazy about LaMelo Ball, the No. 1 overall pick from the draft is certainly not letting everyone forget about him. Edwards is starting to take the lead role on this Timberwolves offense, even with Karl-Anthony Towns around.
Since the Wolves are dead last in the NBA at just about everything, younger guys like Edwards are going to get all the minutes their fresh legs can handle. Edwards has played at least 37 minutes in three of his last four games, making him a necessity with his single-digit cost. He had at least 22 shot attempts in all those games where he played significant minutes.
SF Kyle Kuzma – 9.5 Credits, 29.64 Projected Points
After four straight double-doubles, Kuzma has come back down to earth a bit individually in recent blowout wins against the Warriors and Timberwolves. He could get back on the good foot tonight, though, as the Hornets allow the most fantasy points to opposing power forwards and the second most to small forwards — both positions that Kuzma plays.
With Anthony Davis and Marc Gasol still sidelined, Awesemo’s projections have Kuzma getting 29.64 fantasy points tonight in 29 minutes.

It most certainly would not be a Dream11 picks article if Kanter wasn’t somewhere near the top the value list. In fact, he has the fifth-best value score of any player on the slate.
This matchup against the Pelicans is the second one in the last three days for the Trail Blazers. Teams playing each other in a short span like that tend to have more lower-scoring games on the tail end of those two matchups. If that’s the case here, that could present a ton of rebounding opportunities. Kanter is projected to have 33.56 fantasy points and 27 minutes tonight.
