PrizePicks NBA Player Projections | April 24

Latest NBA DFS Content

Ja Morant Over 8.0 Assists

Morant averages 8.1 assists in 32 minutes, making him one of the league’s most dynamic playmakers. For today’s game, Stokastic’s PrizePicks NBA Player Projections Tool has him at 9.6 assists, but even if that is a little high, he still projects well north of the eight-assist mark. Even if the assist rate drops in the playoffs due to a slower pace of play, it won’t be enough to offset the fact that Morant will be playing more minutes than usual, making it very likely that he’ll surpass eight assists. In a competitive game like this, Morant is going to be playing at least six more minutes than he usually does and potentially upwards of 10 more minutes. This is a huge increase in playing time, which should translate to more assists for Morant.

Anthony Davis Over 13.5 Rebounds

Davis has been a force to be reckoned with in the paint, particularly when it comes to rebounding. He averaged 13.3 rebounds per 36 minutes during the regular season, and he should play slightly more than 36 minutes in this game. While the number may seem high, Stokastic’s PrizePicks NBA Player Projections Tool has Davis clearing it by a couple of boards. The matchup is particularly favorable given that Memphis is not a strong rebounding team. Without Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke, the Grizzlies have become a below-average team on both the offensive and defensive boards. This plays perfectly into Davis’ hands, making it very likely that he’ll be able to grab plenty of rebounds.
