Wednesday’s Best NBA PrizePicks Player Predictions
This Season: 32-35 | Last Week: 2-1
Donte DiVincenzo draws a juicy matchup against the Nuggets, who are allowing the seventh-most points per game and sixth-most points to shooting guards. Since returning from injury in late February, DiVincenzo has exceeded this number in six out of seven games. The only miss was his first game back.
This number is just too high. Overall, James Harden has failed to clear this number in 73% of games. Looking at the last 19 games against top defenses for points allowed, he has only exceeded this number once, which happens to be against the Heat (42 combined points + rebounds + assists).
In eight games with Kawhi Leonard and without Norman Powell, Harden has cleared this number three times. The BettingPros PrizePicks cheat sheet projects Harden to finish with 37.7 combined points + rebounds + assists tonight.
Since the return of Chet Holmgren, this play has had a 40% hit rate in 10 games. The Thunder will be down Jalen Williams tonight, which could provide Isaiah Hartenstein with more potential assists and rebound chances.
The Celtics currently list Kristaps Porzingis as a game-time decision. It would provide a boost for Hartenstein if Porzingis sits out tonight. BettingPros is projecting a +3.7 difference with a finish of 28.2 combined points + rebounds + assists.
No Jalen Brunson equals more opportunity for Miles McBride scoring. In two games without Brunson, McBride has finished with seven points (2-of-13 from the field) and 21 points. The Trail Blazers are middle of the road in points allowed overall and to the point guard position.
DaQuan Jeffries is averaging 18 minutes per game on the season and has played nine games of 25+ minutes. He has exceeded this number in six of them, averaging 13.1 combined points + rebounds + assists.
In the last five games, Jeffries has averaged 24.1 minutes and played more than 25 twice. The Hawks are one of the better matchups for points and assists allowed to shooting guards while being middle of the road in rebounds allowed.
