Dream11 NBA Picks: Awesemo Grades | April 6
PG Jrue Holiday – 13.5 Credits, 40.35 Projected Fantasy Points
Whatever Holiday has been drinking lately, we should bottle it up and sell it to the public. Over the last four games, there are no areas of the stat sheet where he did not contribute; Holiday averaged 26.8 points, 8.5 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 0.8 blocks per game in that span.
Tonight’s matchup against the Hawks is a decent one statistically, as they are below average in defensive efficiency. In reality, though, Holiday should be matched up against Trae Young and enforce his will. At 13.5 credits, Holiday offers enough value to fit some more quality talent into lineup constructions.
SG Caris LeVert – 9.5 Credits, 39.45 Projected Fantasy Points
LeVert comes in with the best value rating (4152.6) of anyone playing 30-plus minutes on tonight’s slate. The Pacers have quite a few pending situations to monitor, and he could wind up being the direct beneficiary. Domantas Sabonis, Malcolm Brogdon and Jeremy Lamb are all listed as questionable. In a very limited sample size (51 minutes) with those three on the court, LeVert has the highest usage rate (25.1%) of anyone playing regular minutes.

SF Jimmy Butler – 17 Credits, 42.16 Projected Fantasy Points
Butler is a regular mainstay in this article, particularly because of his consistent play at a price that won’t break the bank. Just like Holiday above, Butler will contribute in numerous areas of the stat sheet. Last month he averaged a solid 23.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 6.2 assists and two steals per game. Butler is up to his usual tricks through two games in April.
This matchup against the Grizzlies is not expected to see a lot of points scored. However, Butler is such an integral part of the Heat’s success no matter what setting the game takes shape. Only five more players on tonight’s slate are projected to have more fantasy points than Butler, while many others are more expensive.
PF Robert Williams – 9 Credits, 32.17 Projected Fantasy Points
Since the 76ers run the seventh-fastest pace in the NBA, this is the type of game Williams can thrive in. This is yet another guy that has serious triple-double potential. Although Williams hasn’t done it in his NBA career, the time is nearing. He grabbed at least nine boards in each of the last five games.
While Williams’ ability to get blocks and steals a great deal is integral to his fantasy success, he makes it easy to trust those peripheral stats will always be there. In those same aforementioned five games Williams has a combined total of three blocks and steals in each of them.
