Thursday’s Best NBA PrizePicks Player Predictions
This Season: 64-65
Robinson scored just three points in the Heat's 98-91 loss to the 76ers on Monday, March 18. He was dealing with a back injury and missed five games immediately following that one. Now healthy, he's poised for a big game tonight.
Robinson has faced the 76ers three times this season. Aside from the three-point performance, he's actually been very good against them, scoring 20 and 16 points. He has not scored in double figures in any of his last three games but has attempted seven shots in each of his last two contests. As long as he improves upon that and gets closer to his season average of 10.2 attempts, he should easily clear this number and finish near his average of 13.0 points.
Curry has had two solid games against the Rockets this season, knocking down a combined 11 three-pointers, including at least five in each game. So it's interesting that this number is listed at just 4.5 tonight.
When you look at the Rockets' three-point defense, it makes more sense. They rank second in the league in opponent three-point percentage and are top 10 in three-pointers allowed per game. Curry hasn't faced the Rockets since November, and their defense has improved a lot since then. This may seem like an easy over, but the under is actually the right play.
Sabonis just recorded a 20-rebound performance against the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday. He's now pulled down at least 10 rebounds in 32 consecutive games. Still, this number is set above his season average against a team that he grabbed 14 against in March.
The Knicks are allowing the second-fewest rebounds per game. If any team is going to end his streak of double-digit rebounding games, it’s them. And even if they don't, Sabonis could still have a great night and go under this number. This is far from a lock, but it's one of the best three PrizePicks plays of the day because of how high the number is.
