Yesterday, we finished 3-1 with our PrizePicks squares. With a flex play, that would’ve still won with a lower payout. However, we’re on a mission to get all four squares to hit tonight.
With a five-game slate, there aren’t a ton of options. But there are still some valuable plays that you can even pair with the NFL games today.
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.

Nikola Vucevic has added at least 18 points in 60% of his last 20 games. He’s had previous success against Portland with points scored and has added at least 18 points in six of his last ten games.
Vuecevic is currently on a two-game streak with at least 19 points. He rarely gets to the foul line, which is disappointing, but he’s attempted more than 15 shots per game in the month. Vucevic shoots just under 50% this season but has added a field goal percentage of nearly 55% this month.
On top of that, he’s playing almost 34 minutes a night and just saw 37 and 39 minutes in his last two games. We’ll take his Over against a Portland defense that ranks 22nd against centers in points allowed.
Jalen Williams Over 18.5 Points
In January, Jalen Williams has scored 19.9 points per game, while shooting 58.7% from the field on 14 shots per game. Williams will take on a Detroit defense that ranks in the bottom ten in points allowed to small forwards.
Meanwhile, Williams has nailed 19 or more points in seven of his last ten games. But because he’s missed out on 19+ points in his previous two games, his prop has come back down to life. This is where we’ll sneak in and grab the discount.
Williams should get some really good looks against Portland today. Grab the Over.
Clint Capela Under 11.5 Points
Clint Capela has averaged just 7.3 shot attempts per game in the month. He’s also averaged just nine points per game and will have matchups where he doesn’t even see the foul line.
Toronto is an average defense against centers. However, Capela hasn’t hit at least 12 points in any of his last five games. He’s also hit this line in just two of his last ten games.
Capela doesn’t shoot enough volume to get to 12 points. He’s also shooting under 60% from the foul line this season, which doesn’t help. We’ll fade Capela here.
Cade Cunningham Over 20.5 Points
It’s good to see Cade Cunningham back on the court. Cunningham averaged nearly 23 points per game before being sidelined for a couple of weeks.
In his return against the Wizards, he went 7-for-17 from the field and scored 20 points with two threes made and some trips to the foul line. He turned the ball over seven times but also had 12 assists in 35 minutes.
I know it’s a back-to-back, but it seems like the Pistons were careful with rushing Cunningham back. He’s probable, and if he’s playing, he’ll get the minutes he deserves. Take the Over for Cunningham.
