The other four matchups in the NBA Playoffs will begin today, and I’ve got one player prop for all four games in my PrizePicks entry tonight.
Like every NBA PrizePicks article, we’ll give out four different player predictions you can use for a four-leg Power Play entry. A two-leg Power Play entry will give you implied odds of -137 for each prediction. A three-leg Power Play entry will give you implied odds of -141. A four-leg NBA PrizePicks Power Play entry will give you implied odds of -128 for each prediction.
Getting -128 on the same prediction is better than -137 or -141. Here are our top NBA PrizePicks player predictions for tonight’s action.
Remember that a Flex play can still win if one pick misses, but you’d get lower payouts.

Zach Edey came alive in the NBA Play-In Tournament, scoring at least 14 points in both games. However, he has tallied at least 11 points in just 35% of his games this season. He’s also added at least 11 points in none of the three head-to-head matchups against the Thunder this season.
In fact, Edey has averaged just 6.3 points per game against the Thunder this year. That’s ultimately because the Thunder rank 7th in the NBA in points allowed to centers this season.
The Thunder also rank 6th in field goal percentage allowed to centers and rank third in the NBA in field goals made by centers. I’ll gladly fade Edey today.
Jrue Holiday More Than 8.5 Points
Jrue Holiday won’t lead the Celtics in points, but he can still add at least nine points in today’s game against the Magic.
After all, the Magic rank 22nd in the NBA in points allowed to point guards this season. Orlando also ranks 24th in field goals made to point guards and ranks 23rd in free throws made to point guards this season.
Holiday should be able to take advantage. He’s added at least nine points in 60% of games this season. He’s also hit this line in nine of his last ten games against the Magic, averaging 15.7 points per game in those games.
Ultimately, you can expect Holiday to earn about 30 minutes in this game. He’s also averaged close to ten shots per game over the last ten games. With a solid matchup, Holiday should shoot at a solid rate and add at least nine points.
Jarrett Allen Less Than 13.5 Points
Jarrett Allen has earned at least 14 points in just one of his last five games. He’s also hit at least 14 points in just 46% of games this season and in four of his last ten games.
Furthermore, he’s added at least 14 points in just five of his last 13 head-to-head matchups against the Heat. Meanwhile, Miami ranks 8th in the NBA in points allowed to centers this season. The Heat are terrific at keeping centers off the offensive glass and have allowed the lowest free throws attempted by centers per game this season.
The Heat also ranks 8th in the NBA in field goals attempted by centers this season. Allen likely won’t have a ton of opportunities to score in today’s battle against the Heat. I’m fading Allen today.
Stephen Curry More Than 24.5 Points
The Golden State Warriors certainly don’t have an easy matchup against the Houston Rockets. However, the Rockets have struggled to defend point guards all season long. Houston has allowed the most points per game to point guards this season. In addition, the Rockets have allowed the third-highest three-point field goal percentage to point guards and have allowed the most field goals made and field goals attempted per game via point guards.
Stephen Curry should take advantage. He’s recorded at least 25 points in four of his last five games. He’s also hit this line in seven of his previous 12 head-to-head games against the Rockets.
Meanwhile, he’s attempted more than 11 threes per game over the last ten games and has drained more than 40% from downtown. These numbers could be even better against the Rockets in this series.
Let’s back Curry to add at least 25 points in tonight’s game.
