NBA PrizePicks Player Predictions for Wednesday (12/11)
I’m here to share a few of my (free!) top picks for today’s NBA slate on PrizePicks. Most of these predictions are heavily based on our projections, but we can also find an extra edge by watching games and recognizing certain intricacies before the market is able to react. 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 2 games on the schedule as the NBA is set to tip off on 12/11. Below, I’ll detail how I’m approaching things on PrizePicks this Wednesday evening.

PRIZEPICKSHawks vs. Knicks NBA PrizePicks Predictions
Here are the Hawks vs. Knicks NBA PrizePicks predictions for tonight:
Jalen Brunson More Than 34.5 Points + Assists
Brunson is in excellent form, averaging 45 fantasy points over his last 3 games. Against the Hawks, who rank 28th in points allowed per game and struggle defending the perimeter, Brunson has a fantastic opportunity to rack up points and assists in what should be a high-scoring game environment.
Warriors vs. Rockets NBA PrizePicks Predictions
Here are the Warriors vs. Rockets NBA PrizePicks predictions for tonight:
Kevon Looney More Than 12.5 Points + Rebounds
Looney has been a consistent performer in the Warriors’ rotation of late, particularly on the boards. In 3 of his last 4 games, he has grabbed 11, 11, and 9 rebounds. Even though he is facing a Rockets team that ranks 7th in rebounding rate, he still has a strong chance to exceed 12.5 combined points and rebounds. As I just noted, he has almost surpassed this projection on rebounds alone in this recent stretch of games.
Brandin Podziemski Less Than 14.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Podziemski’s role should be limited to low-20s minutes tonight with Andrew Wiggins likely returning. I am siding with our projections team on this one, as they have this pick with a 61.34% win probability and a 3.61% edge.
