Wednesday’s Best NBA PrizePicks Player Predictions
PrizePicks record: 111-76-1
Clint Capela More Than 12.5 Points
Atlanta will be without both Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu in this must-win game. With barely any bigs on the squad, Clint Capela will likely see plenty of time on the floor in this one. He has done well against Nikola Vucevic in the past, having exceeded this line in seven of his last nine games against him, ever since he joined the Bulls. Capela is averaging 14.7 points per game in those contests. Chicago has also allowed the fourth most points to the pick-and-roll big man this season, setting up Capela for a few lobs via Trae Young once again.
Bam Adebayo Less Than 17.5 Points
Big men always struggle to put up points against Joel Embiid. Bam Adebayo has had his fair share of difficulties in this matchup too, having stayed under this number in nine of his last 13 games head-to-head with Embiid. That includes their four-game playoff series in the 2022 playoffs. He is averaging just 13.9 points in these games, so fade Miami’s big man in this one.
Tyrese Maxey More Than 23.5 Points
Tyrese Maxey should see plenty of more open looks with Joel Embiid back on the floor. He has gone over this line in 23-of-36 (64%) games, averaging 25.6 points per game with Embiid this season. Maxey, who will likely win Most Improved Player of the Year, has had his fair share of success against the Heat in the past too. When these teams met on the fourth of April, he put up a team-high 37 points against them. He has scored 23+ points in six of his last seven games vs. Miami averaging 26.7 points per game over this span.
