- Ziaire Williams Higher/Lower Than 13.5 Points

Bucks vs. Magic NBA Underdog Fantasy Predictions
Here are the Bucks vs. Magic NBA Underdog Fantasy predictions for tonight:
Brook Lopez Higher Than 0.5 Assists
Averaging 1.6 assists per game this season, he is more than capable of exceeding this mark. As a key part of Milwaukee’s system, Lopez often creates opportunities for teammates from the post or perimeter, especially alongside stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. His consistent role and offensive involvement make him a great candidate to surpass 0.5 assists in tonight’s matchup.
Nets vs. Nuggets NBA PrizePicks Predictions
Here are the Nets vs. Nuggets NBA PrizePicks predictions for tonight:
Ziaire Williams Lower Than 13.5 Points
Over his last 25 games, he has averaged just 9.2 points and has surpassed 13.5 points in only 20% of those contests. RotoGrinders further supports this pick with a 4.41% edge and a 62.15% hit rate (even with the Cameron Johnson injury) for Williams scoring less than 13.5 points. His recent trends and statistical consistency make this a reliable choice for tonight’s game, as he has consistently fallen short of this scoring mark throughout the season.
Kings vs. Celtics NBA Underdog Fantasy Predictions
Here are the Kings vs. Celtics NBA Underdog Fantasy predictions for tonight:
Jaylen Brown More Than 4.5 Rebounds
Brown achieving higher than 4.5 rebounds tonight is a solid pick due to his consistent rebounding and favorable matchup. Brown is averaging 6.0 rebounds per game this season and has maintained a strong 5.8 average over his last 5 games. Facing the Sacramento Kings, who rank 14th in rebounds allowed, Brown is well-positioned to capitalize on his size and athleticism to grab boards. His consistent rebounding performance and the Kings’ defensive tendencies make this a strong choice for tonight’s game.
