Monday’s Best NBA PrizePicks Player Predictions
PrizePicks record: 45-33
Nikola Jokic Over 12.5 Rebounds
Taking on the Hornets is a smash spot for any center. They are permitting the second-most rebounds to opposing centers on the season, and Jokic at home typically goes over this number as well. In games with 30+ minutes, he is over this mark in eight of 13 games this year and has exceeded this in 17 of his last 24 at home dating back to last season as well. The two-time MVP winner has recorded 10, 16, 27, 19, and 21 boards in his last five games against Charlotte as well.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 36 Points
Look, I get it. This is an absolutely insane point total to be taking the over on, but Giannis continues to go berserk against Indiana, so I will continue to back him. He posted a career-high 64 points against them on 12/13 and has gone over this mark in six of his last seven games against them as well. The Pacers are a funnel to scoring inside the paint, allowing the second-most points per game in that region, exactly where Giannis does most of his work. He should play a big part in contributing to the insane 259.5 game total in this one.
Donovan Mitchell Over 35.5 Points+Assists
I’m going right back to the well on Donovan Mitchell. He had no issues exceeding this mark last game against Milwaukee, finishing with 34 points and nine assists in the contest. Without both Darius Garland and Evan Mobley in the fold, it’s the Mitchell show in Cleveland right now. In 16 games without Gardland over the last two seasons, Mitchell has 34+ points and assists in 12 of 16 games, averaging close to 41 points+assists per game.
