Dennis Schroder More Than 0.5 Free Throws Made

Although Schroder’s recent playoff games have not been favorable in terms of free-throw attempts, Schroder averaged over three free-throw makes per game in the regular season. Considering his playing time of approximately 30 to 32 minutes, he has a good chance of getting to the line. If he manages to get two free-throw attempts, there is a high probability of him making at least one. The line of 0.5 is too low for Schroder, especially considering there is no juice attached to the bet on PrizePicks.

Aaron Gordon More Than 26.0 Fantasy Points

Stokastic’s Pick’Em Pro projects Gordon around 30.5 fantasy points. With an expected playing time of around 36 minutes, Gordon has the opportunity to contribute consistently throughout the game. Based on his average of 0.722 fantasy points per minute, there is no strong reason to believe he will significantly underperform. Additionally, Gordon will likely be motivated to bounce back from a game where he appeared hesitant to shoot, particularly missing a crucial free throw. Gordon can focus on his defensive impact, potentially guarding LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Overall, Stokastic’s Pick’Em Pro anticipates a strong performance from Gordon that surpasses 26 fantasy points.

These are just two of the +EV plays on the NBA PrizePicks slate. Stokastic’s Pick’Em Pro has 56 more plays with more than a 50% expected win rate! Check them out HERE.
