There are eight NBA teams taking the floor tonight, providing us with plenty of PrizePicks bets to target. Below, we’ll go through the best picks across all NBA matchups.
NBA PrizePicks Bet #1: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Over 1.5 Three-Pointers Made
Denver Nuggets vs. Houston Rockets Match Details
Fixture: Denver Nuggets @ Houston Rockets
Date & Time: Tuesday, February 28, 8:00 p.m. EDT
Venue: Toyota Center, Houston, Texas
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been an underrated pickup for the Nuggets this year, and he’s fit in really well with this group. The sharpshooter has gone cold from deep over his last two games, but he has knocked down at least two triples in each of the three games prior. KCP has a great matchup tonight against Houston today, who allow the most threes in the league. The Rockets have been terrible defensively, and the Nuggets should be able to eat them alive today. Expect the former Laker to make at least two threes tonight against a slumping young Houston squad.
NBA PrizePicks Bet #2: Josh Giddey Under 7.5 Rebounds
Sacramento Kings vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Match Details
Fixture: Sacramento Kings @ Oklahoma City Thunder
Date & Time: Tuesday, February 28, 8:00 p.m. EDT
Venue: Paycom Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Josh Giddey is one of the bright young stars in the league, and he’s improved from what was already an impressive rookie year. Giddey has excellent size, which allows him to grab a decent amount of boards, but he’s gone under on his rebounds prop in seven of his past eight games. Even though the Thunder are shorthanded tonight, Giddey averages only 6.6 boards over his last ten. Look for the Australian to stay under eight rebounds again tonight versus a solid Kings team.
NBA PrizePicks Bet #3: Scottie Barnes Under 11.5 Rebounds and Assists
Chicago Bulls vs. Toronto Raptors Match Details
Fixture: Chicago Bulls @ Toronto Raptors
Date & Time: Tuesday, February 28, 7:30 p.m. EDT
Venue: Scotiabank Arena, Toronto, Ontario
Scottie Barnes, last season’s rookie of the year, has underwhelmed a bit this season, but he still has a ton of talent and potential. Barnes has increased his assists, but his rebounds have dropped off, and lately he hasn’t been that active on the glass. Since center Jakob Poeltl arrived, Barnes is averaging only 5.3 rebounds per game. Also, the Florida State product has only went over 11 combined rebounds and assists once in his previous five games. Expect Barnes to stay under again versus a Chicago team that has been great defensively since the All-Star break.
