NBA PrizePicks Predictions Today
Jarrett Allen – More Than 30.5 Fantasy Points
Without Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen has incredibly secure minutes and production as long as the game stays close. While the matchup is tough, we just saw these two teams face off the other night. Mobley played 36 minutes en route to 36.75 fantasy points. Tonight, he projects on RotoGrinders for 33.31 fantasy points, well over his projection on PrizePicks. This game will feature strong defense and a slow pace, but this number is still too low for Jarrett Allen in his current role.
- Play: Allen – More Than 30.5 Fantasy Points
Dereck Lively – More Than 8.5 Points
Lively is another player who has an incredibly difficult matchup tonight. The Wolves are one of the very best defensive teams in the league and feature Defensive Player of the Year frontrunner Rudy Gobert centering their frontcourt. However, I don’t really care. Lively doesn’t feature a large offensive skill set, but he’s athletic and his size is going to be needed tonight against Towns and Gobert. His biggest worry is always minutes and we could easily see a season-high for him tonight against Minnesota’s huge frontcourt. He projects for nearly 10 points tonight in the RotoGrinders projections but with Luka Doncic carrying the load for the Mavericks, he could get double-digit points on lobs alone.
- Play: Lively – More Than 8.5 Points
Chet Holmgren – More Than 16.5 Points
The exciting race for Rookie of the Year continues as both Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren are playing fantastic basketball. Chet finds himself in a great matchup against the Kings, who struggle defensively and play at a fast pace. The individual matchup against Sabonis is fantastic as he’s one of the worst defensive players in the league and Chet will likely be matching minutes with him tonight. He projects for more than 17.5 points in the RotoGrinders projections and although that isn’t a huge differential, I think his ceiling is MUCH higher. He is averaging 18.9 points per game in his last 10 games and should roll to an easy 20 tonight against the Kings.
- Play: Holmgren – More Than 16.5 Points
