NBA PrizePicks Predictions Today
Trae Young – More than 49 Fantasy Points
Trae Young is the top NBA DFS play on basically every site tonight, including PrizePicks. Forty-nine fantasy points is simply too low of a projection tonight for Young who draws the best possible matchup against the Washington Wizards. It’s a fast-paced matchup with next to no defense to be played. Trae projects for 51.3 fantasy points tonight in the RotoGrinders projections but could find himself far closer to a ceiling game if this one stays close. He currently has a 59.82% win rate in the NBA Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks, one of the highest marks on the slate.
- Play: Young – More than 49 Fantasy Points
Jalen Williams – More Than 32.5 Fantasy Points
While the matchup for the Thunder tonight is far from ideal against the slow-paced Magic, this number is still too low for a player of Jalen Williams’ caliber. His 62.50% win rate in the NBA Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks is one of the highest on the slate, and he projects for 36.9 fantasy points tonight. That differential is too good to pass up. He has eclipsed 33 fantasy points in 5 straight games, and we should continue to hammer this until the sites get better at pricing him up.
- Play: Williams – More than 32.5 Fantasy Points
Demar Derozan – More Than 37.5 Fantasy Points
Derozan has struggled most of the year, forcing many people to think he’s finally out of gas. However, he’s been playing much better basketball as of late, with at least 36 fantasy points in 12 of his past 14 games. Tonight, he goes back to San Antonio to face his former club who are also one of the best matchups in basketball. He projects for 40 fantasy points tonight in the RotoGrinders projections and should be able to smash as long as this one stays close enough for him to get the minutes.
- Play: Derozan – More Than 37.5 Fantasy Points
