PrizePicks NBA Player Props | March 2

Scottie Barnes Over 30.5 Fantasy Points

Barnes has consistently been playing 36 minutes per game and is projected to average 0.9 fantasy points per minute at minimum. He projects well north of his stats, including 16.3 real points, 7.5 boards and 4.5 assists, all of which are above the lines set for those categories. Based on this information, it is clear that Barnes has a lot of potential upside and the line of 30.5 is low compared to his projected performance. Therefore, it is highly likely that he will exceed this mark.

Kawhi Leonard Over 40.5 Fantasy Points

Leonard has been playing massive minutes and is projected to play at least 36 tonight. He is also playing in a favorable matchup against the Golden State Warriors, who are missing key players like Andrew Wiggins and Stephen Curry. Additionally, the Warriors defense suffers when Kevon Looney and Draymond Green leave the floor. Leonard has been playing fantastic basketball, and there is potential for him to play more than 36 minutes, making it more likely that he will exceed the 40.5-fantasy-point line. Leonard has better rates than the line suggests, as he averages 1.25 fantasy points per minute, which makes the line of 40.5 very achievable.

Klay Thompson Under 35.5 Fantasy Points

While Thompson is certainly capable of getting hot and scoring a lot of points, his line is set too high for this particular matchup against Los Angeles. The Clippers are switchable on defense and have players that are better suited to slowing down Thompson. Additionally, Thompson is a very scoring-dependent player, so if he’s not having a big 3-point shooting day, he’s unlikely to come anywhere near this fantasy score. This overall is a good matchup for the under despite Thompson’s ability to get hot from deep.

Delon Wright Over 23.0 Fantasy Points

Though he is projected for 23 fantasy points, Wright’s value lies in his ability to accumulate steals, which are worth 3 fantasy points each. As a starter, Wright is expected to play 28 to 32 minutes, and he projects to play 29, providing him with enough time to accumulate steals. Wright is a better fit for the PrizePicks scoring system, as he is not a points guy and his projected points may be a little low on rebounds and assists. However, Wright projects for a little over 26 fantasy points, making the over a worthwhile proposition.
