Thursday’s Best NBA PrizePicks Player Predictions
PrizePicks Record: 79-42-1
The third-year player out of Kansas had a decent case to win the Most Improved Player award following his impressive season, despite not being a finalist. Braun has been particularly strong off the glass in the playoffs, especially with Russell Westbrook and Michael Porter Jr. both banged up. He has found six (nine rebound chances), 6 (11), 7 (17), and 12 (17) boards over the last four games of the series. Look for him to keep that aggression up as the Nuggets aim to close it out on the road tonight.
Aside from Game 3, when he ran into foul trouble, Tobey has been crushing this line in this series. J.B. Bickerstaff has run him into the ground, as he has played 40, 43, 32 (foul trouble game), 35, and 43 minutes. He has turned that into 31, 29, 11, 26, and 27 PRA. As long as he doesn’t pick up too many fouls, he should climb his way over this line once again.
The Serbian sharpshooter has played his way into more time over the last two games. After finding just 12, 15, and 10 minutes in the first three games, Bogdan has played 19 and 23 minutes over the past two contests. He has turned that into 13 and 26 PRA. They will need his scoring presence coming off the bench with the second unit if they want to force a Game 7.
