Welcome to Bales’ Premium PrizePicks – NBA Player Props 3/2! Below I will discuss my NBA favorite plays for tonight’s slate!
Power Play
C.J. McCollum has been playing at an elite level since the injury to Damian Lillard. In 5 games without Lillard, McCollum is averaging 31.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 9.0 assists (52.0 fantasy points) in 39.0 minutes per game. He posted 50+ fantasy points in 3 of his last 4 games, as well. McCollum has seen his usage rating skyrocket to over 35%, and that should be the case once again tonight. He gets a tough matchup on paper against the Orlando Magic, who rank 27th in the NBA in pace and eighth in defensive rating. McCollum posted a 31/8/4/1 line again them in their only matchup this season, and Orlando has struggled against guards at times throughout the 2019 season. McCollum’s price has yet to adjust enough, and he makes an outstanding option for the total once again on this slate.
Nikola Vucevic’s price tag has stayed low because of his Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde home/road splits. Vucevic is averaging 23.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.2 blocks, and 1.4 steals (52.2 fantasy points) in 35.6 minutes per game over his last 5 home games. He flashed triple-double potential in those contests, as well. For comparison, Vucevic is averaging only 34.8 fantasy points per game over his last 5 road contests. He gets a great matchup against the Portland Blazers. They rank 11th and 27th in the NBA in pace and defensive rating. Vucevic posted a dominant 23/12/1/2/6 line in his only matchup against Portland, and he makes an outstanding option in Orlando once again tonight.
