With tonight’s eight-game slate, there are plenty of valuable PrizePicks squares to choose from for your entries.
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.

Jalen Williams has added at least 20 points in seven of his last 10 games. He’s also hit this line in six straight games while averaging over 25 points in those games.
Williams has averaged nearly 34 minutes a game over the last 10. His usage percentage has also increased to 26.8% over the last 10 games. Tonight, he’ll battle a Denver defense ranked 29th in points allowed to shooting guards. Ultimately, the Nuggets have allowed 23.81 points per game to shooting guards. They’ve also allowed the most field goal attempts per game to shooting guards.
Williams should get plenty of opportunities to score at least 20 points.
Kevin Durant has added at least 26 points in seven of his last 10 games. He’s also cleared this number in 58% of games this season. Durant is coming off a game against the Denver Nuggets where he played nearly 46 minutes. In addition, he’s attempted nearly 18 shots per game over the last 10 games and has shot nearly 55% from the field.
That said, the Dallas Mavericks rank 15th in points allowed to small forwards. But they’ve got no depth, with so many key players injured and out.
Look for Durant to take advantage and continue scoring at a high level. He’s already scored at least 26 points in three straight games.
I just discussed Dallas’ lack of depth. Typically, that would increase the points total for many active Mavericks players. That’s what it’s done for Klay Thompson. Still, he only scored 15 points against the Memphis Grizzlies last time out.
Now, he’ll take on a Phoenix team ranked first in the NBA in points allowed to small forwards.
Thompson’s usage has already soared over the last two games. However, he’s still shot just 38.4% from the field over the last 10 games and has the most difficult matchup of the season against the Suns.
The Suns have limited small forwards to below 40% from the field and only 2.61 three-pointers made per game. That’s not going to help Thompson score 19 points.
Harden has been cooking over the last two games, scoring a combined 77 points against the Pistons and Knicks. However, tonight, he’s facing a Kings defense ranked second in the NBA in points allowed to point guards. The Kings have held point guards to 7.65 field goals made per game, which is the lowest rate in the NBA.
Plus, let’s not forget that Harden has added at least 26 points in only 20% of games this season. He’s also averaged just 17 points per game against the Kings in his last eight head-to-head meetings against them. Let’s fade Harden here.
