There are seven regular-season matchups on the horizon tonight. That gives us plenty of options 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.

Derrick White just scored 23 points against the Pistons last time out. Now, he’ll get an opportunity to face the Washington Wizards tonight.
The Wizards rank 21st in points allowed to shooting guards. They’ve also allowed shooting guards to shoot nearly 33% from downtown, which ranks 22nd in the NBA.
Additionally, shooting guards are finding their way to the foul line more efficiently, earning more than four foul shots per game against Washington.
Even on just 10 shots, I wouldn’t be shocked if White scored 15+ points.
Ja Morant is one of the NBA’s biggest superstars. However, he likely won’t have a big game tonight.
The Lakers rank fourth in points allowed to point guards this season. They’ve also held point guards to 35.22% from the field and rank first in defensive three-point percentage against point guards this season.
Additionally, Morant has shot at least 50% in five of his last seven games. But it’s unlikely he’ll be able to keep that pace up, especially against a defense like the Lakers.
OG Anunoby has scored no more than 14 points in each of his last two games. Tonight, he’ll take on a Magic defense ranked second in the NBA in points allowed to small forwards.
After all, the Magic have allowed just 16.73 points per game to small forwards throughout the season. The Magic have also allowed just two threes to small forwards per game this year. In addition, small forwards have taken only 13.93 field goal attempts per game against the Magic this season. That also ranks first in the NBA defensively.
Don’t expect Anunoby to be the star of the show tonight. Take his less than.
Andrew Nembhard hasn’t earned more than 10 points in four consecutive games. It’s also unlikely he’ll end this streak tonight. He’s taking on a Pelicans defense that has allowed 19.73 points per game to shooting guards, which is second in the NBA.
The Pelicans have limited shooting guards to below three three-pointers per game and have held shooting guards to 27.36% from downtown this season.
That said, Nembhard has taken no more than six shots in each of his last four games. He’s also made no more than two field goals in three of his last six games.
