NBA Player PrizePicks | May 9

Latest NBA DFS Content

Tobias Harris More Than 23.5 Fantasy Points

With Jalen McDaniels essentially being cut from the rotation in the last game, there will be more minutes for Harris to play. Even if he only plays 34 minutes, Stokastic’s PrizePicks NBA Player Projections Tool has Harris closer to 30 fantasy points tonight. Harris is locked into 36 minutes, and he could play even more, so it is really surprising to see this number set so low. Harris should blow this number out of the water.

Jamal Murray More Than 42.5 Fantasy Points

This number is higher than the previous game, but it is still too low. Murray is back playing in Denver, which has elevation, making it a massive spot for the Nuggets. Murray and Nikola Jokic should put on a show on their home floor. At this point, all of Murray’s projections look good — real points, assists, points + rebounds + assists — any play for him will be a more pick, but fantasy points gets the nod tonight. Murray should cover the over easily and earn a nice profit.
