With 12 games on the NBA slate, there’s plenty of value on the PrizePicks board.
Like every NBA PrizePicks article, we’ll give out four player predictions you can use for a four-leg Power Play entry. A two-leg Power Play entry will give you implied odds of -137 for each prediction. A three-leg Power Play entry will give you implied odds of -141. A four-leg NBA PrizePicks Power Play entry will give you implied odds of -128 for each prediction.
Getting -128 on the same prediction is better than -137 or -141. Here are our top NBA PrizePicks player predictions for tonight’s action.
Remember that a Flex play can still win if one pick misses, but you’d get lower payouts.

Austin Reaves has scored at least 18 points in three consecutive games. He most recently scored 25 points against the Kings, which is the team he’ll play tonight.
The Kings have given up 23.82 points per game to shooting guards this season. That’s 27th in the NBA. It proves how good of a matchup Reaves has. Against the Kings last time out, Reaves made 7-of-14 field goal attempts but also made 8-of-9 free throws.
Those free throws weren’t a fluke. The Kings rank 27th in the NBA in free-throw attempts allowed to shooting guards this season.
Look for Reaves to continue his dominance tonight.
Deandre Ayton finished with 15 points against Denver last time out. He’s now hit at least 15 points in 56% of his games this season, including in six of his previous 10.
Ayton has attempted at least 14 shots in back-to-back games. He’s also averaged 58.4% from the field over his last 10 games. We likely won’t see Ayton at the foul line much, but 14 shots would be more than enough if he shoots above 50% from the field.
That said, he’s facing a Spurs defense ranked 26th in points allowed to centers this season. I’m confident in Ayton’s ability tonight.
It’s been a funky two-game stretch for DeMar DeRozan. He scored no more than 17 in his last two games and 18 in three of the previous four.
Still, he’s facing a Lakers defense ranked 19th in points allowed to shooting guards. In addition. DeRozan has nailed this line in 61% of games and six of his last eight games against the Lakers head-to-head.
While his usage went down against the Lakers last time out, he’s still averaging nearly 17 shots per game. He’ll likely see the foul line several times and should get some good looks around the rim. I’ll back his over.
P.J. Washington hasn’t scored more than 13.5 points in three of his last four games. Washington has also hit this line in just 43% of games this season and in only 45% of his previous 20 games.
Additionally, he’ll take on a Clippers defense ranked first in the NBA in points allowed to power forwards. The Clippers have allowed just 2.08 threes from power forwards this season and have held them to a 37.87% field goal percentage, which is the best defensive rate in the NBA.
Washington has attempted seven shots in two of his last four games. If he takes another seven tonight, he won’t reach 14 points.
