Tuesday was a frustrating 1-2 day, with neither Cam Johnson nor Tyus Jones doing what we expected of them. We were able to pick up a win with Luka Doncic who knocked down four three-pointers. The results brought our record to 9-8 overall.
Tonight, there are six NBA games, including three that feature two teams above .500. Additionally, the two worst teams in the NBA – the Pistons and Rockets – are in action.
Also, take a look at our other best bets for Thursday:

NBA PrizePicks Player Prop Bets
Here are the best plays for Thursday’s NBA action.
Jalen Green Under 23.5 Points
Green has had back-to-back huge games for the Rockets. He scored 25 in their loss to the Nets on Tuesday and 31 in their win over the Spurs on Sunday. He gets a juicy matchup with the Pacers tonight, so it would not be surprising to see him have his third big game in a row.
Despite the Pacers allowing the fifth-most points in the league this season, we think this is a prime spot to take Green's under. He's playing on the road, his season average is 21.7 and he scored just 16 the first time he played Indiana. Getting this number a full bucket over his season average feels like an overcorrection to his last two games.
Jaden Ivey Over 1.5 Three-Pointers Made
Ivey is averaging 5.3 three-pointers attempted per game in the month of March. If he keeps that pace up, it will be his highest total for a month this season. Of course, attempts do not always lead to made buckets, as Ivey proved on Monday against Portland with his 0-7 performance.
The Hornets are in the bottom 10 in the league in three-point defense on the road, which really helps Ivey's chances of going over this mark. The last time these two teams played was also in Detroit. Ivey went 4-4 from deep. Expect a similar result tonight.
Markelle Fultz Under 26.5 Pts+Rebs+Asts
If you combine Fultz's averages for the season, he is at 22.9 points + rebounds + assists per game. That is well off the number being presented by PrizePicks tonight. Perhaps he is due for a big game, but even when looking at recent results, there is no reason to think he goes over 26.5. He has only hit this mark twice in his last seven games.
The Jazz are allowing 117.2 points per game, so there is the chance that Fultz goes a bit over his season averages for points and assists. However, they're a middling shooting team, which means Fultz likely isn't going to have a big night on the boards. This number is too high. Rather than overthink why, just take the Under.
