Top NBA Prize Picks Props
Luka Doncic, Dallas Mavericks (48.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists)
It was going to be tough for them to give us a high enough number tonight that we weren't going to take the over here. Kyrie Irving has been listed as doubtful with a foot injury for the game and with all the pieces they traded for Kyrie now in Brooklyn, this is going to be the Luka show. The Mavericks are going to get crushed, nevertheless, Luka may also have a 40-point triple-double. His average for this combo on the entire season is 49.6, and that's with everyone healthy. So even if Kyrie does suit up, this matchup dictates that this is a solid bet regardless.
His opponent tonight, the Sacramento Kings, have the seventh-worst defensive rating in the league and they are allowing the fifth-most points per game this season. While they are top 10 when it comes to allowing rebounds, they are also allowing the second-most assists per game this year with 26.6. The Kings are also playing for nothing as they are essentially locked into the three seed in the Western Conference. Conversely, the Mavs are fighting for their playoff lives as they sit as the first team outside of the play-in tournament looking in. It would be a shock if Luka can't hit this number tonight.
The Pick: 48.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists

Jalen Brunson, New York Knicks (28.5 Points)
Brunson has a great matchup tonight, but this number is just too high. He has been hot lately but is only averaging 24 points per game this season. Even with him playing great down the stretch, he has only reached this mark in one of his last eight games and two of his last 13. He's a guy that does everything, not a guy who piles up points. This number is inflated because Indiana is poor on defense and in two games against the Pacers this season he has hit this line. For us, that is not a big enough sample size for us to assume he will top a number he rarely tops. The Knicks are also a team that could very well blow out the Pacers in a game that means nothing to them as they are just about locked into the five seed in the Eastern Conference. We are playing the odds here that Brunson won't end up scoring 29 points tonight.
The Pick: Less than 28.5 Points
Bennedict Mathurin, Indiana Pacers (4.5 Rebounds)
Mathurin is playing big minutes to finish out the season as he has reached at least 33 minutes in his last four games. Since March 9, he has averaged over 31 minutes per game. Over his past three games, he has pulled down 22 rebounds. He's only played the Knicks once this year and pulled down six boards in 28 minutes. We like him to hit this number once again tonight based on his recent play and volume of floor time. This is a middle-of-the-pack matchup as the Knicks rank 13th when it comes to rebounds allowed to their opponents this season. At 6'5, the rookie is a good size guard who has been hitting the glass lately and contributing as more than a scorer as he continues to develop his game as a pro.
The Pick: More than 4.5 Rebounds

DeMar DeRozan, Chicago Bulls (5.0 Assists)
The Bucks are a tough defense, but that hasn't seemed to matter to DeRozan. In two games this year he has had his way with them absolutely torching them for 78 total points and also hitting this assist mark in both games. He also averages more than 5.0 assists per game so there is no reason to believe he can't get there tonight. Over his past six games, he's hit this line four times and has averaged just under 5.5 assists per game since the start of March. We wouldn't call this pick a lock, however, we love the odds that he gets there. The Bucks are also pretty banged up right now with bumps and bruises, and with the No. 1 seed in the league locked up it's unlikley they push anyone to play through even minor ailments with just three games left in the season.
The Pick: More than 5.0 Assists
