With 10 games on the slate today, there are many squares to choose from.
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.

Malik Monk has scored 27+ points in two consecutive games. He’ll now take on a Spurs defense ranked 22nd in the NBA in points allowed to shooting guards.
There’s a good chance Monk will continue his dominance. After all, the Spurs rank 21st in three-pointers allowed to shooting guards and have allowed nearly four free throws to shooting guards per game this season.
Monk has played at least 34.7 minutes per game over the last two, attempting at least 16 field goals in each contest. He’s shooting much more efficiently and his volume is also up. Let’s take him to add at least 15 points.
Victor Wembanyama has scored at least 24 points in six of his last seven games. He just failed to score at least 24 points in his most recent game against the Lakers. Instead, he scored 20 points, which was still close to his line.
Tonight, Wembanyama will take on a Kings defense ranked 28th in points allowed to power forwards. The Kings also rank dead last in threes allowed to power forwards and have allowed power forwards to shoot 51.56% from the field on more than nine attempts per game.
After a three-game stretch of scoring 22+ points, Cameron Johnson has had four consecutive games without more than 16 points for the Nets.
He’s still earning nearly 30 minutes a game. However, his usage has dropped over the last four games. His points have also dropped.
He’ll go up against an Orlando defense ranked third in the NBA in points allowed to power forwards. The Magic have also held power forwards to just 2.97 free throws per game and a 45.72% field goal percentage. Don’t expect Johnson to see an increase in his usage tonight.
Stephon Castle scored just 10 points against the Lakers in his most recent game. He played nearly 30 minutes in that one, but his usage rate dropped to 19.2%. That was the second-lowest usage percentage in Castle’s last 10 games.
His usage percentage might stay down tonight. He’s facing a Sacramento defense ranked first in points allowed to point guards this season. The Kings also rank first in field goal attempts allowed to shooting guards and have sent point guards to the foul line just 4.38 times per game.
Castle will likely have a hard time against this Kings defense tonight.
