PrizePicks NBA Player Projections | April 16

Xavier Tillman Over 24.5 Fantasy Points

While the Lakers will present a tough challenge, Tillman is likely to see a significant amount of playing time due to injuries to Memphis Grizzlies’ big men. He is a hard-working player who will get opportunities against the Lakers, even if he struggles to score against Anthony Davis. Jaren Jackson Jr. is likely to play some minutes at the five, but the Grizzlies will need Tillman to hold his own against the Lakers frontcourt.

Russell Westbrook Under 36.5 Fantasy Points

Westbrook has struggled with his shooting all season and has been inconsistent in the playoffs throughout his career. While he has had some big games, he has also had some terrible performances, and his minutes may be reduced in the playoffs if his defense does not improve. Stokastic’s PrizePicks NBA Player Projections Tool has Westbrook at 32 minutes of playing time, but he could play even less. The Suns are a strong team that will likely target Westbrook on the defensive end, so he will struggle to reach his fantasy points total.

Devin Booker Over 27.5 Points

The Clippers are without Paul George injury, which makes Booker an excellent pick to exceed his point total. Stokastic’s PrizePicks NBA Player Projections Tool expects him to continue to score in bunches, and he will easily exceed his point total against the Clippers. He averaged 27.8 points per game this year, and Stokastic’s PrizePicks NBA Player Projections Tool predicts that he will continue to score at a high level against the Clippers.
