There’s plenty of value on the NBA board tonight! We have a couple of nationally televised games and other intriguing matchups on the slate. Let’s dive in and put together a PrizePicks slip!
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.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has scored at least 11 points in five consecutive games. He’s finished with 11 points in two of those five, but that’s fine.
He’s played at least 34 minutes in four of the five games and has made at least four shots per game. He’ll get to the foul line occasionally, but he’s ultimately a three-point shooter who can get hot from the field.
Over the last four games, Caldwell-Pope has nailed at least three three-pointers in three of them and attempted at least four threes in four of the last five matchups. In February, for example, he shot 43.8% from downtown. He’s already hit 57.1% from three to begin March. If you give him six three-point attempts, he could potentially drain three of them.
Utah ranks 29th in points allowed to shooting guards this season. Caldwell-Pope has scored at least 11 points in seven of his last ten games. This play has legs.
Aaron Gordon 14.5 Points – More
Let’s stay in the same game. Aaron Gordon has averaged 16.5 points per game against the Jazz this season.
Meanwhile, the Jazz also rank 28th in points allowed to power forwards this year.
Gordon has nailed this line in seven of his last ten games and just scored 16 points against Boston in 34 minutes last time out. Gordon is a capable three-point shooter but makes most of his noise around the rim. He’s taken at least ten shots in his last three games and has scored at least 16 points in two of the previous three matchups.
I’ll trust Gordon tonight. His three-point shooting can’t really get worse than it’s been lately, either.
Dorian Finney-Smith 8.5 Points – More
The Nets’ power forward has drained at least nine points in four consecutive games. Dorian Finney-Smith has scored at least nine points in six of his last ten and in four straight. This season, Finney-Smith has averaged 16.5 points per game against the Hornets.
That makes sense, knowing the Hornets rank 26th in points allowed to power forwards this season.
Over the last four games, Finney-Smith has seen at least 31 minutes per night. He’s also shot 60% from the field despite taking nearly nine shots per game in March.
He’s been a sniper from downtown, nailing 47.8% from three on almost six attempts per game, too. All we need is three three-pointers from Finney-Smith. That’s very doable, especially since he’s done that in three straight games!
Jusuf Nurkic 10.5 Points – Less
Jusuf Nurkic has scored seven points in three of his last four games. With Devin Booker likely back in the mix for the Suns, the volume certainly wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t there while Booker was gone.
The Celtics rank 6th in points allowed to centers this season. Meanwhile, Nurkic has scored 11 points in only 35% of his last 20 games. He’s also struggled against the Celtics with this line dating back to last season, never hitting it once.
Finish this PrizePicks entry off with Nurkic’s Under.
