Be mindful of the fact that the news cycle in the NBA is fluid, so the picks below may become more or less appealing depending on player availability. But rest assured that our NBA DFS projections team is making updates as soon as news breaks.
We have 12 games on the schedule as the NBA is set to tip off on 1/27. Below, I’ll detail how I’m approaching things on PrizePicks this Monday evening.

PrizePicks Top NBA Picks for 1/27
Now that you’re signed up, here are some of our top NBA picks on PrizePicks for 1/27 at a glance:

PRIZEPICKSPelicans vs. Raptors NBA PrizePicks Predictions
Here are the Pelicans vs. Raptors NBA PrizePicks predictions for tonight:
Zion Williamson Less Than 12.5 Rebounds + Assists
Williamson achieving less than 12.5 rebounds and assists is a strong pick. RotoGrinders projects him at 11.16 rebounds and assists, with simulations showing a 5.99% edge and a 63.72% hit rate. Zion’s recent averages of 6 rebounds and 4.5 assists (10.5 total) align with this projection. Additionally, with Brandon Ingram still out, Zion may prioritize scoring over rebounding or playmaking, further supporting this outcome.
Rockets vs. Celtics NBA PrizePicks Predictions
Here are the Rockets vs. Celtics NBA PrizePicks predictions for tonight:
Amen Thompson Less Than 29.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Thompson achieving less than 29.5 points + rebounds + assists is also a solid pick. RotoGrinders projects him at 26.78 PRA, with simulations showing a 5.8% edge and a 63.54% hit rate.
Despite a recent triple-double, Thompson’s production often varies due to the Rockets’ balanced offensive contributions from players like Alperen Sengun and Jalen Green. This variability, combined with where our projections have him, supports the likelihood of him staying below this mark. It’s a smart and calculated choice based on both data and situational context.
