NBA PrizePicks Predictions Today
Jalen Brunson – More Than 26.5 Points
The Knicks draw a fantastic matchup against the Wizards, who play at a fast pace and are the worst defensive team in basketball. Since they traded away Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett, the Knicks have been running an extra tight rotation, and Brunson has been the biggest beneficiary. He has averaged 30 points per game in the 2 games since the trade, and there’s no reason to think that shouldn’t continue against Washington. He projects for 29.19 points in the RotoGrinders projections, and I think that may even be a tad light. Regardless of if you pick points, assists, fantasy points, or what have you, Brunson needs to be a part of your NBA PrizePicks card tonight.
- Play: Brunson – More Than 26.5 Points
Giannis Antetokounmpo – Less Than 13.5 Rebounds
Giannis and the Bucks find themselves in a big pace-down spot facing the Rockets. In addition to their slow pace, they’re also a great defensive team. While this doesn’t make a big difference to Giannis’ overall production, the Bucks finding themselves with fewer possessions than normal should help us out with this PrizePicks NBA DFS Pick’em prediction. The RotoGrinders projections have Antetokounmpo for only 12.21 rebounds tonight, and the 66.96% win rate on this pick is the highest of the slate in the Fantasy Pick’em Tool.
- Play: Antetokounmpo – Less Than 13.5 Rebounds
Jaylen Brown – More Than 22.5 Points
If there’s any matchup in the NBA better than the Wizards, it’s the Pacers. Not only do the Pacers not play a lick of defense and play at an incredibly fast pace, but they’re also good enough offensively that they almost never get blown out. If that’s the case again tonight and this one stays close, it should be a feast for Brown and the Celtics scoring the ball. He projects for 23.68 points in the RotoGrinders projections and has scored at least 24 points in 6 of his last 9 games.
- Play: Brown – More Than 22.5 Points
