Tuesday’s Best PrizePicks Player Predictions
This Season: 22-22
Derrick White had a huge showing in game one against the Hawks. He finished with 24 points, seven assists and five rebounds. All of these numbers were nearly double his season averages. White has only gone for 20 or more in back-to-back games twice this season.
In game one, he played 39 minutes and knocked down four three-pointers. This is not normal for White. Look for him to have a much more typical night in game two, as he comfortably goes below this number.
Darius Garland had a terrible game one against the New York Knicks. In 43 minutes of play, he managed just 17 points, one assist and zero rebounds. The single assist he recorded was the lowest assist total he posted all season, and Saturday marked his first zero-rebound effort since Nov. 23.
Garland is averaging over 31 PRA per game, and we think he will have a huge bounce back in game two. In three games against the Knicks this season, he averages 19.7 points, six assists and three rebounds. Considering it is the postseason, and he will likely see his minutes elevated tonight, we like him to beat his averages across the board.
Clint Capela has not rebounded efficiently in his last three games. Against the Celtics, he managed just eight boards in 27 minutes, which was well below his season average of 11 rebounds per contest.
Because of his play of late, we are getting this number lower than it should be, and this is the time to take advantage of it. Look for Capela to put together a needed trend-breaking night, as he plays more minutes than he did on Saturday and gets his rebound numbers into double digits for the first time since April 4.
