Monday’s nine-game NBA Dream11 slate kicks off another great week of action on the hardwood. When creating lineups, it’s important to find value spots that open up space to fit the superstars in.

Be sure to check out Alex Baker’s industry-leading NBA Dream11 projections when creating lineups.
Dream11 NBA Picks: Awesemo Grades | April 12
SG Anthony Edwards – 9 Credits, 31.77 Projected Fantasy Points
There are members of the Timberwolves that will be quite popular tonight, but Edwards is not among them, and that could be the fault of the crowd if they’re not on him. Edwards has been playing well in most games, but his last one didn’t go according to the script. He had a rough night getting his shot off, as evidenced by his 5-for-14 shooting from the field.
Tonight’s matchup against the Nets is one of the most profitable in the NBA. The Nets will undoubtedly hustle the ball up and down the court, even without James Harden and Kyrie Irving, so Edwards will have plenty of opportunities for scoring at the other end of the floor. Edwards has not played fewer than 36 minutes in each of the last five games, which is pretty much par for the course.
PF Zion Williamson – 16 Credits, 44.28 Projected Fantasy Points
In the month of April, a span of four games, Williamson has scored at least 34 points in three of them. He has done the same in five of the last seven games. Tonight’s matchup against the Kings is one that should have even the bench players salivating. After all, the Kings have the NBA’s worst defensive efficiency rating by a healthy margin and also run the eighth-fastest pace. It is also worth mentioning that Sacramento is tied with a couple of other teams with the fourth-worst rebounding rate. That is all adding up for Williamson once again, and it will only cost 16 credits to get in on the action.

C Andre Drummond – 12 Credits, 41.38 Projected Fantasy Points
Drummond is coming off the best game in his brief time as a member of the Lakers. Against the Nets on Saturday, he posted a massive 20-point, 11-rebound stat line in only 22 minutes of the Lakers’ 25-point victory. While tonight’s matchup against the Knicks isn’t appealing from a statistical standpoint, gamers can use real-life thinking in order to gain an advantage. New York played a tough game last night against the Raptors, so it won’t be at its best with tired legs. That means there will be more rebounding opportunities and probably less-enthused efforts for rebounds. Drummond’s low 12-credit price tag and rebound potential make him an interesting pivot.
