NBA PrizePicks Predictions Today
Myles Turner – More than 26.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
All my NBA PrizePicks predictions tonight are from the same game. While there’s obviously some potential for some points to be scored in the Lakers vs. Pelicans game, it likely won’t compare to the Pacers vs. Bucks. These are two of the fastest, worst defensively, and best offensive teams in the league going head-to-head in a game that has the highest implied total of the season to date. Turner will be needed to play heavy minutes tonight matching up against Brook Lopez, Giannis, and the large Bucks front court. He projects for 31.63 points + rebounds + assists tonight in the RotoGrinders projections and has the highest win rate on the slate in the NBA Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks at nearly 70%.
- Play: Turner – More than 26.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Tyrese Haliburton – More Than 1.5 Blocks + Steals
While I would love to target Haliburton’s points or assists predictions, those numbers have finally increased to match the insane production from Haliburton for the Pacers this year. Therefore, we’re going to prioritize his blocks and steals in an incredibly high-tempo game. Haliburton projects for nearly double his necessary block + steal total in the RotoGrinders projections and has the second-highest win rate in the NBA Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks. Haliburton has been averaging more than 2 steals + blocks per game in his last 10 and should have no trouble eclipsing this number in a highly-paced matchup.
- Play: Haliburton – More Than 1.5 Blocks + Steals
Damian Lillard – More Than 27.5 Points
It’s Dame Time! Lillard has progressed strongly with the Bucks as the season has gone on, and they’re currently playing their best basketball of the season so far. Lillard projects for 29 points tonight in the RotoGrinders projections and has had at least 27 points in 6 of his last 8 games. The matchup couldn’t possibly be better as the Pacers play at the fastest pace in basketball while also being one of the worst defensive teams. Dame will likely have to work really hard to keep pace with Haliburton tonight, and I could easily see this turning into a 3-point contest between the two.
- Play: Lillard – More Than 27.5 Points
