NBA PrizePicks Predictions Today

Cam Thomas – Less Than 3.5 Rebounds

This isn’t an NBA DFS Pick’em play that would’ve stood out to be on its own. However, Cam Thomas to have less than 3.5 rebounds has the highest win rate in the NBA Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks tonight at 74.14%. He projects for 3.1 rebounds in the RotoGrinders projections tonight as well. He has only had 4 or more rebounds a total of 7 times this entire season and is one of the best plays on NBA PrizePicks tonight.

Nic Claxton – More Than 22.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists

Claxton draws a fantastic matchup against a Pistons team that is horrific on the inside, especially with Jalen Duren likely on a minutes limit. Tonight, Claxton projects for 24.44 Points + Rebounds + Assists in the RotoGrinders projections and should be able to dominate Detroit on the inside. He has a 66.58% win rate in the NBA Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks and projects as one of the strongest DFS plays on the slate, regardless of the site.

Jaden McDaniels – Less Than 19.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists

This is another play that feels a bit obscure, but this number is too high for Jaden McDaniels on PrizePicks. McDaniels has been forced to play massive minutes recently and has been playing some fantastic basketball. However, he likely won’t be needed to the same extent tonight against a team like OKC without a stud wing scorer. Since their best players are their Point Guard and Center, McDaniels should have a much lower minutes floor with his elite win defensive skills not being as necessary. He projects for only 15.33 Points + Rebounds + Assists tonight in the RotoGrinders projections providing some nice piece of mind despite his recent gaudy game log.

Additional PrizePicks Plays

Paolo Banchero – More Than 23.5 Points
Cade Cunningham – Less Than 24 Points
Ja Morant – Less Than 28.5 Points
Anthony Edwards – Less Than 28.5 Points
