PrizePicks NBA Player Projections | April 9

Herbert Jones Over 0.5 Free Throws Made

Jones is averaging 1.9 free throws made in 29.4 minutes per game. He is also shooting an impressive 76% from the charity stripe, making him a reliable free-throw shooter. The Pelicans have a lot to play for, and that means Jones should get a lot of playing time. With that in mind, taking Jones over 0.5 free throws made seems like a no-brainer, as he should easily clear this low hurdle. Stokastic’s PrizePicks NBA Player Projections Tool has him projected for 1.8 free throws made, so there is a lot of value in taking the over in this prop.

Jaden Ivey Over 3.5 Free Throws Made

Ivey has been thrust into a larger role due to the team’s injury woes. He has been playing huge minutes, averaging 40 minutes per game over his last few contests. In that time, he has also been making 5.0 free throws per game. With the Pistons lacking depth and other options, Ivey should continue to see plenty of playing time and opportunities to get to the free-throw line. He is hit the over on this prop in three out of his last four games, making the momentum of this play in his favor. Stokastic’s PrizePicks NBA Player Projections Tool has Ivey projected for 4.7 free throws made, so taking the over on 3.5 seems like an easy call.
