Wednesday’s Best NBA PrizePicks Player Predictions
PrizePicks record: 60-46-1
I’m going right back to this one with Murray because Trae Young is out once again. The most recent game without him, Murray finished with 10 rebounds and six assists but had a potential for 18 dishes. He was a triple-double machine with the San Antonio Spurs, and he averaged 8.3 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game in his final season with them in 2021-2022. There’s a decent chance he flirts with a triple-double against the Golden State Warriors considering both teams are above average in pace. In 11 games as a Hawk without Young, Murray averages 8.5 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game. He has 13-plus combined rebounds + assists in eight of those 11 games.
The Hornets have been the gift that keeps on giving throughout the year for centers. They’re allowing the second-most points and rebounds per game to the position, setting Jalen Duren up for a massive night. He had 14 points and 17 rebounds against them back in late October, a final line he should come close to posting in this one. Duren has put up 25+ points+rebounds in 15 of his past 20 games, averaging 14.5 points and 11.8 rebounds per game over this span. In a plus matchup, he shouldn’t have much trouble going over this.
Taking on Bam Adebayo and the Miami Heat is a tough task for any opposing center. They’re allowing the second-fewest points per game to the position, and they can zone in on what JJJ brings to the table given the amount of missing pieces the Grizzlies have at the moment. As +9.5 underdogs, there’s a decent chance this one turns into a blowout as well. Plus, the Heat play at the third slowest pace, and this game has just a 213 total.
