Thursday’s Best NBA PrizePicks Player Predictions
This Season: 16-16
In the only game he played against the Bucks this season, Jayson Tatum went for 41 points and seven rebounds. That game took place all the way back in December, and since then, Tatum has had 22 30-point performances. That includes four games of 40+.
On the season, Tatum is averaging over 30 points per game and 8.9 rebounds. If he can hit 30 tonight, then he should easily clear this number, perhaps even combining for over 40. After all, this month, he has six double-doubles in 12 games.
We're sticking with a combo prop for our second PrizePicks play of the night. Jamal Murray will go Under 26.5 points plus rebounds on Thursday. On the season, he is averaging 20.1 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. In three games against the Pelicans, he averages 25.0 points and 3.3 rebounds.
These numbers against his Thursday night opponent may make him seem like a lock to hit this total. However, his points average is greatly skewed by a 32-point performance. He has actually only hit this number once in his three games against New Orleans and four times in his last 12 games overall.
Herbert Jones exploded on Tuesday night against the Golden State Warriors. He knocked down three triples, tied for a season-high as he scored 13 points. However, his three three-pointers were an anomaly in his game-by-game statistics.
For the season, he is averaging just 0.8 three-pointers made per game. Before Tuesday night, Jones hadn't even attempted a three-pointer in his previous two games, and he was just 0-3 in his previous four. The last time he knocked down three three-pointers, he followed it up with an 0-4 performance in his next game.
