Wednesday’s Best NBA PrizePicks Player Predictions
Here are the best PrizePicks plays for NBA action on Wednesday, March 22.
This play comes down to one thing, really. Deandre Ayton is out for the Phoenix Suns, and without him on the floor, who is stopping him? Bismack Biyombo? Jock Landale? Don’t think so. On the season, the Suns have allowed the 6th-fewest points to Centers and 7th-fewest points in the paint, but without their rim-protector, you can throw those stats out the window.
Ayton sat out the last game, and without his presence, the Thunder went on to score 56 PITP. It’s obviously a one-game sample, but for reference, the Spurs allow the most PITP this year, averaging 56.4 per game. Without LeBron in the fold, this is the Brow show, and he has cleared this in six of the last nine games without James averaging 26.2 PPG. This line is at 26.5 -118 over at FanDuel, so there’s value to be had at PrizePicks right now.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. This is the third consecutive write-up I’ve had on Curry, and the analysis pretty much remains the same. Sorry to bore you. The Warriors are a shell of themselves on the road compared to when they play at home, with an insane 7-29 road record. At this point, it’s relatively safe to assume they will be in a trailing state, or at least in a close state of affairs, which will mean they’ll be leaning on their best player in Steph.
As for the matchup, the Mavericks have taken a step back on defense since their blockbuster trade for Kyrie. They are 25th in Defensive Net Rating over their last 19 games following the trade. Curry got hurt mid-game the last time he faced them, but still finished with 21 points in 25 minutes. In another contest earlier this season, he racked up 32 points against them. Steph has cleared this line in six of his last nine games, averaging 31.3 PPG since returning from injury.
Shifting back to the Deandre Ayton void, CP3 should be the one filling it, especially without Kevin Durant around either. Paul scored just 14 points against the Thunder last game on a poor 5-15 shooting night, but he should rebound, I mean score, against the Lakers tonight. L.A. has improved their defense following their acquisitions, but this line simply feels too short for a short-handed Suns team in the scoring department.
The last time Paul played the Lakers, the Suns were actually without Booker, and we saw him flourish. He put up 28 points that game, the 2nd most he has recorded all season. This line is at 15.5 +100 at FanDuel, so once again, this looks pretty valuable for PrizePicks.
