NBA PrizePicks Predictions Today
Jusuf Nurkic – Less Than 26.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
The Suns feature the largest implied team total of the night, and although they’re a great target from an NBA DFS perspective, I actually am lower on Nurkic than his PrizePicks number. Nurkic projects for 24.43 points + rebounds + assists in the RotoGrinders projections. His 64.08% win rate in the NBA Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks is the best on the entire slate. Nurkic takes a serious hit with the Big Three all healthy for the Suns, and it’s worth picking on until the NBA DFS sites adapt.
- Play: Nurkic – Less Than 26.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Kevin Durant – More Than 45 Fantasy Points
While Durant also takes a hit with both Bradley Beal and Devin Booker in the lineup, PrizePicks has now over-adjusted on his fantasy points number. He projects for more than 49 fantasy points in the RotoGrinders projections, and his 62.84% win rate in the NBA Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks is the 3rd highest on the entire slate. Durant gets a fantastic matchup against the Kings and should be able to eclipse this mark with relative ease if this game stays close.
- Play: Durant – More Than 45 Fantasy Points
Tobias Harris – More Than 29.5 Fantasy Points
I typically only like targeting Harris when Joel Embiid is out, but 29.5 fantasy points is simply too low. He projects for 32.81 fantasy points tonight in the RotoGrinders projections and has a 60.94% win rate in the NBA Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks, among the highest on the slate. While Jokic vs. Embiid is definitely the highlight of the game, Harris should have no problem surpassing 29.5 fantasy points.
- Play: Harris – More Than 29.5 Fantasy Points
