More NBA Playoffs PrizePicks for Thursday, May 27

Here’s a preview of out Zach Brunner’s NBA PrizePicks article with his favorite picks for tonight’s games. See his full list of picks here.

Jimmy Butler: Over 46.0 NBA Fantasy Points

Butler has been terrible through two games. Heading back home down 0-2, one can assume Butler does not just roll over to die. He simply just hasn’t been aggressive offensively. Butler even blended in during Game 2. With that being said, Awesemo is expecting Butler to bounce back in a big day, projecting him for 49 NBA fantasy points on FanDuel, which uses the same scoring system as PrizePicks. There is no need to argue with the projections.

Brook Lopez: Over 11.5 Points

Lopez has been solid against the Heat through two games. He scored 18 points in Game 1. Game 2 only resulted in 7 points, but he only played 23 minutes due to the blowout. If this game is competitive, which it should be, then Lopez will play a big role for the Bucks. Prior to last game, Lopez scored at least 12 points in six straight games. Lopez also scored at least 12 points in 11 of the last 12 games against Miami, prior to last game.

Damian Lillard: Over 4.5 Made 3s

It is tough to doubt Lillard ever, but especially in the postseason. Heading back to his home arena, Lillard should be motivated to take the series lead. He has at least five made 3-point shots in three straight games, including nine last game. It is impossible to shut him down.

I'm a wannabe athlete whose athletic career ended after a long tenure riding the bench through JV baseball. The fantasy sports and sports betting degen side of me blossomed at age 12 when I found fantasy baseball and football, and led to a 12-year submergence into the poker scene -- I started playing "secret" cash games in my parents' basements by age 14. Luckily, I've finally found what I love to do -- write about "fake sports," which my girlfriend refers to it as, though it only took me until age 30. If you decide you like the words I write and follow me on Twitter (@nd_joyce), I apologize in advance for the copious amounts of dog photos you will see.
