There’s basketball on throughout the entire day. Let’s stay occupied and assemble a PrizePicks entry for today’s NBA slate.
Like every NBA PrizePicks article, we’ll give out four different 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.

Myles Turner has scored at least 18 points in three straight games, attempting at least eight shots in each game, with most from downtown. Turner has attempted at least eight threes in four of his last five games. Meanwhile, he’s drained nearly three per game in the previous 10 and has hit five threes in back-to-back games.
Turner will take on a Chicago defense ranked 29th in points allowed to centers per game. The Bulls also rank dead last in three-pointers allowed to centers this season.
Turner should stay hot from downtown against this inept Chicago defense.
The Thunder center has added 13 points in two straight games. He’s now hit at least 12 points in 53% of games this season and has added at least 12 points in three of his last five.
Isaiah Hartenstein’s usage will never be high with the Thunder. However, he’s shot over 61% from the field over the last 10 games. He gets easy looks around the rim. Therefore, even if he gets eight or nine shots per game, he’ll likely nail six or seven.
I say that because the Spurs rank 28th in points allowed to centers and have allowed the most field-goal attempts to centers this season. Hartenstein should feast down low.
Anfernee Simons hasn’t scored more than 16 points in back-to-back games, despite playing at least 31 minutes in each game. Simons had been averaging a usage rate of over 25% in his previous eight games before his last two. In his last two games, his usage rate has dipped to below 18.5% in each contest.
Don’t expect his usage to grow tonight. After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers rank seventh in the NBA in points allowed to shooting guards. Shooting guards have also shot just 38.9% from the field against the Cavaliers.
In addition, Cleveland ranks fifth in field goals allowed to shooting guards. Let’s fade Simons.
The Bulls rookie has scored 15 points combined in his last two games. It’s hard to imagine Matas Buzelis will end up with at least 13 in tonight’s game alone. After all, he’s facing a Pacers defense ranked ninth in the NBA in points allowed to small forwards.
Meanwhile, Buzelis hasn’t even attempted more than eight shots in three of his last five games. Plus, Buzelis has averaged just five points in two games against the Pacers this season. He’s also taking on a Pacers team ranked 10th in field goals made to small forwards this season. I’ll take his less than.
