We’ve got a slate of seven games on the NBA schedule today! There are some fantastic matchups and intriguing props to consider.
I’ve added four different props that you should consider for today’s NBA action.
Like every PrizePicks article, we’ll give out our four-player props from PrizePicks that you can pair to have a four-leg Entry Power Play. A tw0-leg entry Power Play will give you implied odds of -137 for each prop. A three-leg Entry Power Play will give you implied odds of -141.
However, a four-leg entry Power Play will give you implied odds of -128 for each bet. Getting -128 on the same prop is better than getting -137 or -141. So we’ll stick to four-leg entries moving forward.
Remember that a Flex play can still win if one pick misses, but you’d get lower payouts.

Saturday’s Best PrizePicks Player Predictions
Here are my favorite PrizePicks props for Saturday.
Anthony Edwards Over 24.5 Points
Minnesota will play its second game of the season tonight. Anthony Edwards added 26 points in the first matchup against the Raptors, where the Timberwolves lost 97-94. But despite the loss and the limited amount of points, Edwards finished with 26 points on just 29.6% from the floor.
Edwards can only go up from here. The young star showed great potential in the FIBA tournament and is set to take the next step up the ladder in the NBA.
In that first game, he took 27 shots. He went 4-for-7 from downtown, which was great, but he missed many shots inside the arc. Those will fall eventually. Edwards has scored at least 25 points in five straight games, dating back to last season. With that kind of volume, I’d expect him to hit 25 or more points again tonight.
Scottie Barnes Over 16.5 Points
Toronto’s leading scorer, Scottie Barnes, has averaged 19.5 points through two games this year. Barnes was someone that the Raptors were not comfortable trading for a bonafide superstar. They think he can turn into that one day.
Barnes has shot 50% through two games. He won’t take many threes, but he will undoubtedly see more triple-doubles moving forward. The turnovers will also be high. But that’s not a bad thing, knowing he’ll have the ball in his hands a lot.
Through the first two games, Barnes has hit at least 17 points in each game this season. He’s coming off a 22-10-10 stat line against the Bulls in overtime, where he was super efficient, hitting 9-for-14 from the field. I’ll take him to get Over 16.5 points again today.
Jalen Brunson Over 2.5 Threes
It’s been two games for Jalen Brunson and the Knicks. In those two games, Brunson has attempted an average of ten threes per game. He’s also hit 55% of those threes and has 11 threes made in two games.
Last night, against the Hawks, Brunson hit 8-for-12 from downtown and looked like Steph Curry on the floor! He finished with 31 points and was nearly 67% from deep in that game.
The volume alone is terrific. But he’s also hitting his threes at a high rate, which makes this bet even better.
Herbert Jones Over 10.5 Points
We’ll stay in the same game with Herbert Jones. Jones and the Pelicans will face the Knicks tonight. He just scored 13 points on 4-for-8 from the floor against the Grizzlies. But what stood out the most was his 38 minutes.
Jones isn’t the first scorer. He’s also not the second or third option. But he’ll be on the floor. Those opportunities will come. Jones is a legitimate three-point shooter and can find his way to the line in any game.
The forward finished last season strong in the points category. That will continue into the beginning of this season. Take his over.
