NBA PrizePicks Predictions Today
Fred VanVleet – More Than 15.5 Points
VanVleet rested last game and returns tonight against the Lakers with a lower point prediction than expected. He projects for nearly 18 points in the RotoGrinders projections tonight and has averaged more than 16 points per game so far this season. He’s a threat to play 40+ minutes in virtually any game he suits up and he should be well rested after sitting last game. With only a 5-point spread, Freddy V should be in line for heavy minutes and a strong fantasy performance.
- Play: VanVleet – More Than 15.5 Points
Alperen Sengun – More Than 4.5 Assists
Pairing up nicely with the FVV play, Apleren Sengun also has an assist number that came in too low tonight. He has torched the Lakers throughout his young career and has one of the highest win rates on the NBA PrizePicks slate, with his assist prediction of 4.5 having a 64.42% success rate in the NBA Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks. He projects for 5.86 assists in the RotoGrinders projections, a massive differential from his number on PrizePicks. Jokic lite has had at least 5 assists in 4 of his last 6 games and will need to have a great game to keep pace with the Lakers tonight.
- Play: Sengun – More Than 4.5 Assists
Saddiq Bey – More Than 5.5 Rebounds
Bey has been a feature of the NBA PrizePicks article recently, either getting selected for fantasy points, regular points, or for his rebounding numbers. He has been thrust into the starting lineup ever since Jalen Johnson broke his wrist, and he has now played at least 31 minutes in 3 of his last 4 games. He projects for 6.95 rebounds tonight in the RotoGrinders projections and has a 59.82% win rate in the NBA Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks. The Bucks vs. Hawks should be the fastest-paced game on the slate with fantasy points coming left, right and center.
- Play: Bey – More Than 5.5 Rebounds
Giannis Antetokounmpo – More Than 31.5 Points
Speaking of the Bucks vs. Hawks, it’s a great night for Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak thrives in transition, and this game should almost exclusively be played at a blistering pace up and down the court. Neither of these teams is strong defensively, and both play at an incredibly fast pace. Additionally, they both are two of the better offensive teams in basketball, so there should be no shortage of points scored. Giannis projects for nearly 33 points tonight in the RotoGrinders projections, and as long as this game stays close, he should be in line for one of his best scoring outputs of the season.
- Play: Antetokounmpo – More Than 31.5 Points
