With just one playoff game today — Game 2 of the Nuggets vs. Suns series — making NBA DFS picks becomes much trickier and the quality of contests are typically less. So, if you’re looking for a different way to play NBA fantasy contests during the NBA playoffs, PrizePicks could be a site that interests you. Instead of building lineups of players, at PrizePicks you are making predictions on player stats or fantasy points, with more correct predictions meaning higher payouts.
PrizePicks provides a big list of stats and fantasy points, and you are able to pick and choose which you want to make a prediction for. Stringing together two to five picks can pay out up to 10 times your entry fee. You are even able to combine picks across different sports. The only rule is you must make picks for players on at least two different teams.
For the sake of this article, we will take you through three of the best NBA fantasy PrizePicks predictions to make for the NBA Playoffs Round 2 game today.
PrizePicks NBA Fantasy | Playoffs Round 2
It is important to note that, much like odds that update throughout the day, the player totals at PrizePicks are subject to change. So if you like these NBA picks below, it’s wise to jump on them quickly.
Devin Booker: Under 44.0 NBA Fantasy Points
In Game 1, the Suns took a balanced approach offensively and simply took what the Nuggets gave them. With many defensive lapses by Denver through most games this season, this pattern should continue. It led to Devin Booker attempted just 12 shots last game. While he dished eight assists, he still only had 35.8 NBA fantasy points on FanDuel, which uses the same scoring format as PrizePicks. it’ll be tough for Booker to go over this total with limited shots.

Michael Porter Jr.: Over 1.0 Assist
Michael Porter Jr. is by no means a distributor. However, when a starter with a high usage rate only needs two assists to hit, we need to take them. Porter has assist totals of two, four and three in his last three games. He plays over 30 minutes and will push for a 20% usage rate, so he should be able to total at least two assists.
Aaron Gordon: Over 26.0 NBA Fantasy Points
One of the reasons Porter can dish two assists is the improved play of Aaron Gordon. With the defensive focus being even more on Nikola Jokic in the playoffs, it has opened up Gordon to be a bit more aggressive with more room to operate. He totaled between 32 and 33.8 NBA fantasy points in each of the last three games. Gordon isn’t doing anything special to get there, which should lend even more confidence that he can do it again.
