PrizePicks Top NBA Props and Projections: Thursday, May 19th

Each day during the NBA season we will share the top picks on player props and NBA DFS projections for PrizePicks, a props-based DFS site that allows you to parlay picks for cash payouts.

Below you will find today’s best bets based on the RotoGrinders CourtIQ Premium Projections model, which includes a play-by-play simulation to determine the odds that a prop on PrizePicks will succeed. We’ve selected the top 10 props based on the latest NBA projections. Also make sure to sign up for RG Premium and use the RotoGrinders PrizePicks Tool browser extension to get projections for every available player prop.

This table will update once prior to 2pm ET, and then again at approximately 4:30 ET, 5:30 ET, and 6:30 ET. You can expect at least these four daily updates.

We’ll keep track of the record of every pick graded above an 80, and let you know how successful we are on the recommended bets. The projections will change throughout the day, and we’ll rely on the closing line update at 6:30et to ensure our results are graded utilizing the most final and difficult standards possible.

How to Use PrizePicks Top Props

The grade of each prop is set on a scale of 0-100, and you’ll normally be seeing props on the higher end of that spectrum. The closer to 100, the more confident our current projections are in the success of the bet. We generally recommend focusing on numbers above 75, although the majority of the options shown are very live and viable. You can use these model results in addition to your own research to find success daily on PrizePicks.

Remember that the numbers are as of this most recent projection set, and could be impacted by injury situations and late news.

Premium subscribers can access advanced injury information and detail in the LineupHQ optimizer and NBA DFS Injury Report each day.
