NBA PrizePicks Predictions Today
Nikola Jokic – More Than 26 Points
The former MVP has dominated all season long and gets a nice pace-up matchup tonight against the Warriors. Jokic only averages 25.7 points per game on the season, but the Nuggets have an implied team total of 3.4 higher than their season total and should see some extra possessions tonight. The RotoGrinders projections have Jokic for 29.08 points tonight, a very nice differential from his number on NBA PrizePicks.
- Play: Jokic – More Than 26 Points
Aaron Gordon – Less Than 9.5 Rebounds + Assists
Gordon returned from injury in the Nuggets’ last game against Charlotte and only played 24 minutes in a blowout. While he’s likely to see a minutes bump today as we’re currently projecting him to play 30 minutes, it’s still possible they’re babying him tonight. Regardless, he projects for only 8.02 rebounds + assists in the RotoGrinders projections. Gordon has a 77.32% win rate to have less than 9.5 rebounds + assists, according to the NBA Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks, the highest on the entire slate.
- Play: Gordon – Less Than 9.5 Rebounds + Assists
Trayce Jackson-Davis – More Than 6 Rebounds
TJD has been thrust into the starting lineup for the Warriors, and PrizePicks hasn’t adjusted to his new role. He’s eclipsed 23 minutes in 7 of his last 9 games, with at least 6 rebounds in five of them. He has fully passed Kevon Looney in the rotation, and Golden State won’t have the luxury of going small tonight against Nikola Jokic. The RotoGrinders projections have him for 7.5 rebounds tonight, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him play a season-high in minutes if he can stay out of foul trouble.
- Play: Jackson-Davis – More Than 6 Rebounds
Additional PrizePicks Plays
Chris Paul – More Than 7.5 Assists
Jeremy Sochan – Less Than 9.5 Rebounds + Assists
