NBA PrizePicks Predictions Today
Brandin Podziemski – More Than 24.5 Fantasy Points
Podzi has been a very pleasant surprise for the Warriors in an incredibly disappointing season so far. He has scored at least 25 fantasy points in 5 of his last 6 games and even eclipsed 40 fantasy points in his last 2. Tonight, he projects for 31.99 points in the RotoGrinders projections, a massive differential from his number on PrizePicks. He has played incredibly well since being thrust into the starting lineup for the Warriors and there’s no reason it won’t continue tonight against the undermanned Miami Heat.
- Play: Podziemski – More Than 24.5 Fantasy Points
Anfernee Simons – More Than 32.5 Points + Assists
Anfernee Simons is one of the players who will benefit the most from injuries on his own team tonight as the Blazers will once again be without Shaedon Sharpe and DeAndre Ayton. Simons has been the primary scorer for Portland this year, scoring at least 23 points in each of his past 6 games. Tonight, he projects for 35.06 points + assists in the RotoGrinders projections with a 56.6% win rate in the NBA Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks. The Trail Blazers draw a wonderful matchup against the Spurs and Simons should continue to smash.
- Play: Simons – More Than 32.5 Points + Assists
Andre Drummond – More Than 32.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
- Play: Drummond – More Than 32.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
After two full seasons without missing a game, Nikola Vucevic finally opened up Andre Drummond night for the first time a few days ago. He had the highest ownership on sites like FanDuel and DraftKings we’ve seen on any player this season so his numbers on PrizePicks are understandably boosted much higher for his second start of the season after playing 38 minutes last time out. However, the projection on PrizePicks isn’t high enough. Tonight, he has a 36.52 points + rebounds + assists projection according to RotoGrinders and if he plays anywhere close to the same amount as his last game, Drummond should easily be able to smash this number.
