Friday’s Best NBA PrizePicks Player Predictions
PrizePicks record: 53-40
Steph Curry Under 27.5 Points
Nobody defends the Point Guard position better than the Bulls. They have allowed the fewest points per game on the season to the position, consistently blitzing elite types of scorers like Curry. He has faced them on two occasions this season and posted just 20 and 19 in those contests. Steph is under this mark in seven of his last nine games averaging 22.1 points per game.
Jalen Johnson Over 29.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists
I’m going right back to the well on JJ after he came through on Wednesday in this article. He finished with arguably his best stat line of the season, accruing 25 points, 16 boards, and seven assists. The Pacers are among the league’s worst at defending Power Forwards, allowing the most points and fourth most rebounds to the position per game. They also lead the NBA in pace, while Atlanta is 5th. These teams met just a couple of days ago, and it turned into a blowout in favor of Indiana, resulting in just 23 PRA for Johnson. With Haliburton gone for the foreseeable future, I doubt that will happen again. Jalen has 27+ PRA in five of his last six games while averaging 35.4 PRA per game.
Victor Wembanyama Over 3.5 Blocks+Steals
Anytime this number is at 3.5 for Wemby, it’s a play to the over. The French phenom has an 8-foot wingspan after all! He is over this mark in 13 of his last 16 contests, averaging 3.8 blocks and 1.3 steals per game. The Hornets have also been blocked at the seventh-highest rate per game on the season.
