There are only three games on the NBA slate. However, the fun thing about PrizePicks is you can add legs from different sports into your entry. Your whole entry doesn’t have to be in the NBA. You can also add MLB, NHL, or NCAAB picks to your parlay.
I’ve added four PrizePicks squares that you should consider for your slips tonight.
Like every PrizePicks article, we’ll give our four-player props you can use for a four-leg entry Power Play. A two-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. 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.

CJ McCollum has finally heated up down the stretch. He’s averaged 18.8 points per game and has scored at least 23 points in four consecutive games.
McCollum has also taken 24 shots in each of the last two games with Brandon Ingram out. Ingram is also expected to be out of this game, giving McCollum another opportunity for massive numbers.
For example, McCollum has taken just 15.7 shots per game this month. But the volume has really increased since, with McCollum playing an average of 40 minutes and taking 24 shots per game over the last two. While McCollum isn’t shooting a high percentage from the field, he likely won’t shoot worse than 30%. He ultimately should do better against a Celtics defense that ranks 27th in points allowed to point guards.
Dejounte Murray More Than 26.5 Points
If you want to talk about shot volume, let’s introduce Dejounte Murray. Murray is coming off a 44-shot performance against the Celtics, scoring 44 points on 18-for-44. Murray attempted 19 three-pointers and hit six. He also got to the foul line once.
Anyway, the Bucks rank 17th in points allowed to shooting guards. Meanwhile, Murray has scored at least 27 points in four of his last five games. Atlanta is relying heavily on Murray, and despite shooting 45.6% from the field this month, he’s still coming through and instilling confidence in the Hawks. Another major scoring output is likely tonight.
Trey Murphy III Less Than 15.5 Points
Trey Murphy III of the Pelicans has played 39 minutes in back-to-back games. But in those games, he’s only made ten total shots and has attempted 23. In the game prior, he played 32 minutes against the Pistons but went 1-for-12 from the field after missing nine three-pointers.
Over the last three games, he’s nailed six threes on 24 attempts. However, he’s not shooting the ball very consistently right now.
Tonight, he’ll take on a Boston defense that currently ranks fourth in the NBA in points allowed to small forwards. Murphy II has hit at least 16 points in only four of his last ten games and has struggled against the Celtics in other games dating back to last season. Fade Murphy.
Bogdan Bogdanovic Less Than 18.5 Points
I’m a big fan of Murray and Clint Capela’s point props tonight. Therefore, someone’s going to have to take the back seat. That’s likely Bogdan Bogdanovic. He’s averaged only 15.5 points per game against the Bucks in two games this season. He’s averaged 26 minutes in those two games and has shot just 42.9% from the field.
In his last two games, he’s shot below 30% from three and didn’t shoot 50% in either of those games as a whole.
Bogdanovic has earned at least 19 points in only three of his last ten games and, again, has struggled to put up big point totals against the Bucks dating back to last year. Go Under on Bogdanovic.
