We’ve got a six-game slate in the NBA tonight. There are many significant players, either questionable or out. So make sure to pay attention to the injury report later tonight before the games begin.
I’ve added four squares below that you can consider for your PrizePicks entry tonight.
Like every PrizePicks article, we’ll give our four-player props that you can use for 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.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, moving forward, we’ll stick to four-leg entries.
Remember that a Flex play can still win if one pick misses, but you’d get lower payouts.

The last two games have been poor for John Collins. But let’s not forget that Collins has averaged nearly 14 points per game this season.
He’s hit this line in 82% of games this season and has had recent success against the Miami Heat dating back to last season. Collins also faces a Heat defense that ranks 24th in points against power forwards.
Last time out, Collins only scored eight points but had 12 rebounds in 26 minutes. He was still engaged and added seven field goal attempts, with a couple of foul shots. I’ll trust Collins in this buy-low spot.
Collin Sexton Over 18.5 Points
Collin Sexton is one of the reasons why Collins isn’t scoring as much. Sexton has had more opportunity recently as he was inserted into the starting lineup.
Sexton has attempted over 14 shots per game this month. However, he just took 17 shots against the Pelicans last time out, scoring 26 points.
Sexton has scored at least 19 points in nine of his last ten games. He’s also hit this line in four of his last five and is facing a Miami defense that ranks 20th in points against point guards. I’ll take the Over.
DeMar DeRozan Under 24.5 Points
I’m aware Joel Embiid isn’t playing. Nikola Vucevic and Zach LaVine will also be out. So the spotlight is undoubtedly on DeMar DeRozan to produce.
However, 25 points for DeRozan is asking for a lot. He’s hit this in just 29% of games this season and has struggled to hit this line against the 76ers in previous games dating back to last year.
Against the Pacers, last time out, DeRozan earned 37 minutes and took 19 shots. He only hit 36.8% from the field and scored 21 points, thanks to multiple trips to the foul line. I wouldn’t trust DeRozan against a top-15 defense against small forwards, even with Embiid out.
Klay Thompson Over 17.5 Points
Klay Thompson has struggled throughout the season. However, he woke up in the middle of December and then added only 22 points combined in the last two games.
But I like this matchup for Klay against Dallas. The Mavericks rank 24th in points allowed to shooting guards, and Thompson has averaged four three-pointers per game in this month. He’s even attempted ten threes per game in the month while attempting nearly 15 shots per game.
In December, Thompson’s averaged 19.4 points. He’ll finish off the month with another big performance.
