There are only six NBA teams taking the floor tonight, but there are still more than enough NBA PrizePicks bets to target. Below, we’ll go through the best picks across all matchups.
NBA PrizePicks Bet #1: Chris Paul Under 4.5 Rebounds
Los Angeles Clippers vs. Phoenix Suns Match Details
Fixture: Los Angeles Clippers @ Phoenix Suns
Date & Time: Thursday, February 16, 10:00 p.m. EDT
Venue: Footprint Center, Phoenix, Arizona
Chris Paul battled injuries earlier in the season, but he’s been a key player for the Suns again this year. The veteran point guard isn’t known for his rebounding ability, and he comes into tonight averaging 4.3 boards per game. Paul doesn’t really look to grab boards and the Clippers play at a very slow pace, which should limit rebounding opportunites for Phoenix. CP3 is mainly looking to set up his teammates, and the fact that he stands at just about 6’0″ tall means that he won’t be battling for a ton of boards anyway. LA is a solid rebounding team, and Paul has gone under for his rebound prop in five of his previous eight, so expect that to be the case tonight.
NBA PrizePicks Bet #2: Paul George Over 4.5 Assists
Los Angeles Clippers vs. Phoenix Suns Match Details
Fixture: Los Angeles Clippers @ Phoenix Suns
Date & Time: Thursday, February 16, 10:00 p.m. EDT
Venue: Footprint Center, Phoenix, Arizona
Paul George is known more for his scoring ability, rather than his passing, but he is averaging up at 5.3 assists over his last ten. George dished out eight dimes versus Golden State on Tuesday, and with the Clippers’ new additions, George’s assist numbers should see a slight increase. While Phoenix is an above average defensive team, George should be able to reach five assists here as he’s done so in three of his previous five contests.
NBA PrizePicks Bet #3: Jaden McDaniels Over 3.5 Rebounds
Washington Wizards vs. Minnesota Timberwolves Match Details
Fixture: Washington Wizards @ Minnesota Timberwolves
Date & Time: Thursday, February 16, 8:00 p.m. EDT
Venue: Target Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels has steadily improved year to year, and he’s able to contribute across several categories night in and night out. McDaniels doesn’t stuff the stat sheet, but he’s averaging 4.4 boards over his last ten. With Karl-Anthony Towns out of the lineup still, the former Washington Husky slides down to the power forward slot. Usually McDaniels plays small forward, but this position change has helped him become more active on the glass. Expect the third-year pro to grab four boards tonight at home.
