Tuesday’s Best PrizePicks Bets
Here are the best PrizePicks plays for Tuesday, February 28th's NBA action.
Jokic has been a vacuum cleaning up the boards in his last 11 games. He has at least 12 rebounds in each of those games, including 13 or more in his three games since the All-Star break. His season average is 11.7, so perhaps he will revert back to his average on Tuesday, but against the Rockets, it is unlikely.
The Rockets are the worst shooting team in the NBA, which means there are going to be plenty of rebounding opportunities. They average the most offensive rebounds per game. However, Jokic is going to have so many chances to pull down boards that even if the Rockets pull down 13 boards, as their average suggests, it shouldn't stop him from hitting this number.
DeRozan has struggled throughout much of February, averaging just 19.5 points per game for the month. He did score 29 Sunday in the Chicago Bulls' 102-82 win over the Washington Wizards, but it was just his second 20-point game in eight attempts this month.
It may seem like DeRozan has turned a corner, but he will be tasked with going up against the ninth-best scoring defense in the NBA on Tuesday. The Toronto Raptors have allowed the leading scorer for their opponent to score at least 26 points in four of their last five games. But DeRozan has been the Bulls' leading scorer just once in their last 13 games. Expect him to score in the high teens or low 20s against a solid defense.
Doncic has made more than two three-pointers just twice in six games this month. If you go back to the end of January, Doncic has made more than two in just three of his last nine games. He seems to land at either two or three made three-pointers in most of his games, but there is value in this one because of his opponent.
The Indiana Pacers are the fifth-worst three-point defending team in the NBA. With Doncic not passing the ball the way he had been before Kyrie Irving arrived, expect him to take his fair share of deep shots against a team that doesn't cover the arc. This is our favorite Doncic bet tonight. Another wager to consider is Doncic Under 7.5 assists. Since Irving arrived in Dallas, Doncic has passed that number just twice.
