NBA PrizePicks Player Predictions: Friday (10/27)

Happy Friday all! Throughout the season I will be giving my three favorite picks every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Let’s build off Wednesday’s 2-1 output and find a sweep going into the weekend.

Here are the best PrizePicks plays for NBA action on Friday, October 27.

Friday’s Best NBA PrizePicks Player Predictions

PrizePicks record: 2-1

Victor Wembanyama Over 17.5 Points

It was an underwhelming debut for Wembanyama, who got into foul trouble and finished with just 15 points in 23 minutes. He should be able to find at least 18 points in tonight's contest against the Rockets in what should be a tightly contested and fast-paced game. Wemby averaged 33 points per game per-36 minutes in the preseason, after all. Houston had the 2nd worst defensive net rating last season and didn't look much better in their opening game, either. Back Wemby to go over his point prop.

Dennis Schroder Over 5.5 Assists

With Fred Van Vleet out of the picture, Dennis Schroder is the clear facilitator of Toronto's offense. FVV averaged 7.2 assists per game last season, and it wouldn't be all that surprising if Schroder filled that void directly. He finished with a team-high seven assists in the opening game and had a potential for 17 per NBA Advanced Stats. Across his four preseason games, Schroder averaged 9.74 assists per-36 minutes, too. Chicago allowed 10 assists to SGA and 6 to Giddey in their opening game against the Thunder.

Jordan Clarkson Over 17.5 Points

This line looks a little bit deflated for Jordan Clarkson, who is coming off a 24-point performance in 31 minutes this past Wednesday. Last season, he averaged 20.8 PPG and eclipsed this mark in 46/61 games (75%). He put up 23, 26, 33, and 16 points in his four contests taking on the Clippers last season and ought should be able to find similar success against them at home tonight.
