This refers to a daily fantasy sports contest offered by DraftKings, specifically focusing on professional basketball games occurring on the current day. Participants select six NBA players they believe will exceed projected statistical outputs. The goal is to correctly predict whether each selected player will achieve more or less than their designated performance benchmark in categories such as points, rebounds, and assists. For example, a participant might select LeBron James to score “more” than 28 points, Nikola Jokic to record “more” than 12 rebounds, and Stephen Curry to achieve “less” than 4.5 three-pointers.
The format presents an alternative to traditional salary-cap-based daily fantasy NBA contests, offering a simplified selection process and potentially higher payout multipliers. Its appeal lies in its accessibility to both experienced and novice daily fantasy players, reducing the complexity of roster construction while maintaining the excitement of predicting player performance. The Pick6 format has gained popularity due to its straightforward nature and the potential for significant returns on investment, offering a different risk/reward profile compared to other daily fantasy game types.
