NBA PrizePicks Predictions Today
Nick Richards – More Than 21 Fantasy Points
Although the matchup is tough against Nikola Jokic, Nick Richards has the highest win rate in the NBA Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks tonight with just shy of 70%. The RotoGrinders projections have him for 26.8 fantasy points, and he should have to play as many minutes as possible tonight defending Jokic. As long as he can stay out of foul trouble, he should have no problem eclipsing this mark tonight on NBA PrizePicks.
- Play: Richards – More Than 21 Fantasy Points
Ja Morant – More Than 27.5 Points
Ja disappointed last night in a great matchup against the Pacers, but I don’t really care. He has played 34 minutes in back-to-back games since returning from suspension and has looked like his regular old self. Tonight, he projects just shy of 30 real points against the Atlanta Hawks. While individual matchups aren’t really a thing anymore in the NBA, Ja will still get plenty of time head-to-head with Trae Young, who won’t have any chance of staying in front of the Grizzlies guard. Morant looks fired up and ready to play basketball now that he’s back on the court, and I’m expecting him to torch the Hawks, who are among the league’s fastest and worst defensive teams.
- Play: Morant – More Than 27.5 Points
Victor Wembanyama – More Than 30.5 Points + Rebounds
Victor Wembanyama continues to prove he’s a star, and he’s my favorite DFS Pick’em prediction of the night on PrizePicks. He draws a strong matchup against the Mavericks, who are without their best big man and were already one of the weaker interior defensive teams in basketball. Wemby projects for 33.44 points and rebounds in the RotoGrinders projections, a nice cushion over his number on PrizePicks tonight. I’m totally fine with pivoting to his more than 12 rebounds number as well. However, I don’t think Wembanyama will have any issue scoring the ball tonight, giving a slight edge to the points and rebounds combination.
- Play: Wembanyama – More Than 30.5 Points + Rebounds
