NBA Fantasy: PrizePicks Predictions for Bucks vs. Suns Finals Game 1

After a COVID-filled season with plenty of obstacles, we have finally reached Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Making DFS NBA picks and lineups can be a bit tricky given there is only one game. So, if you are looking for a different way to play NBA fantasy contests today, PrizePicks could be a site that interests you. Instead of building lineups of players, at PrizePicks, you are making predictions on player props, stats or fantasy points, with more correct predictions meaning higher payouts.

PrizePicks provides a big list of stats and fantasy points, and users can choose for which bets they want to make a prediction. Stringing together a few picks can pay out up to 10 times the entry fee. Users are even able to combine picks across different sports. The only rule is they 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 Bucks – Suns NBA Finals Game 1 matchup.

PrizePicks NBA Fantasy: Bucks – Suns NBA Finals Game 1

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 is wise to jump on them quickly.

Chris Paul: Over 41.5 NBA Fantasy Points

Since PrizePicks uses the same NBA fantasy scoring format as FanDuel, users can apply Awesemo’s projections to make picks.

Chris Paul is desperately trying to get a ring. After some extra rest, he should get off to a good start in the NBA Finals series tonight. He has put up over 41.5 NBA fantasy points in six of his last eight games. Paul is also coming off a massive 66.8-point performance. He has fared well against the Bucks in both matchups this season, putting up over 50 NBA fantasy points in each game.

P.J. Tucker: Over 5.5 Rebounds

PrizePicks seems to hate P.J. Tucker, and picking the over on his rebounds may be getting old, but there is no good reason to pass up on this each game. Tucker is coming off an eight-rebound game where half of his boards came on the offensive glass. He has at least seven rebounds in five of his last six games. These are two teams that should put up a lot of shots and play good defense, leading to plenty of rebounding opportunities. With Giannis Antetokounmpo doubtful for tonight as well, Tucker has an easier time racking up rebounds he normally would not get.

Deandre Ayton: Over 11.5 Rebounds

Deandre Ayton has become a star during the postseason. He has game-winning shots, blocks and many double-doubles. His rebounding success should continue tonight. With a matchup with Brook Lopez, he does not face much competition for rebounds down low. The Bucks have also shown the tendency to settle for too many contested 3’s with Giannis out, leading to even more rebounding opportunities. Ayton is coming off a 17-rebound game, and he grabbed 22 rebounds two games before that. He has 12 or more rebounds in three of his last four matchups against the Bucks, including 13 the last time they met.
