PRIZEPICKSThunder vs. Warriors NBA PrizePicks Predictions
Here are the Thunder vs. Warriors NBA PrizePicks predictions for tonight:
Moses Moody Less Than 16.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Moody achieving less than 16.5 PRA is a strong pick for several reasons. For one, we project him at 14.01 PRA, which is significantly below the PrizePicks projection. Additionally, our simulations show this pick has a 4.96% edge and a 62.7% hit rate, indicating a high probability of success.
Moody has averaged just 8.6 points, 2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game this season, which totals 11.8 PRA on average. Even with Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga still out, this PrizePicks projection appears a tad inflated.
Clippers vs. Spurs NBA PrizePicks Predictions
Here are the Clippers vs. Spurs NBA PrizePicks predictions for tonight:
Derrick Jones Jr. Less Than 11.5 Points + Assists
Jones achieving less than 11.5 points + assists is a strong pick based on several factors. To begin with, we project him at 9.52 points + assists, which is well below this threshold. Our simulations also show this pick has an 8.49% edge and a 66.23% hit rate, indicating a high probability of success.
Over his last 10 games, Jones has averaged just 12.2 points and 0.5 assists, which totals 12.7 points + assists. With limited offensive involvement and a supporting role in the Clippers’ rotation, this PrizePicks projection also appears inflated, making it a statistically sound choice.
Nets vs. Hornets NBA PrizePicks Predictions
Here are the Nets vs. Hornets NBA PrizePicks predictions for tonight:
Jalen Wilson Less Than 17.5 Points + Rebounds
Wilson getting less than 17.5 points + rebounds is also looking like a good pick. We project him at 15.48 points + rebounds, which is notably below the PrizePicks projection. Our simulations also show this pick has a 5.55% edge and a 63.29% hit rate, indicating a solid probability of success.
Over his last 10 games, Wilson has averaged 14.2 points + rebounds, which further supports this pick. Additionally, the Nets are dealing with significant injuries, which could limit their offensive efficiency, and that could reduce Wilson’s opportunities to exceed this mark.
