The 76ers visit the Knicks to start the day and once the kids are in bed, the Denver Nuggets host the Phoenix Suns. Most of the value comes in the later games, but if you use Stokastic’s PrizePicks tool you can find profitable picks for every game.

Best NBA PrizePicks Plays on Christmas
RJ Barrett Prop: Under 23.5 Points
Our projections peg Barrett for 20.75 points, hitting this under 64 percent of the time. Barrett is coming off a monster 44-point performance against the Bulls, which gives us value by pushing this total a tick too high. On the season, Barrett averages 20.4 points per game.
Luka Doncic Prop: Over 3 Three-Pointers
Will Luka take the challenge of facing LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers personally? Expect a heavy workload (as usual) for the Mavs’ star. Doncic was 6-of-12 from three on Friday against the Rockets and is averaging 3.8 made threes per game in December. Our projections give Doncic a 64 percent chance of going over this number.
Bobby Portis Prop: Over 7.5 Rebounds
Portis hit the under on this number in three of his last five games as his minutes were limited a bit. But Portis doesn’t always need a ton of minutes to hit this total. He’s averaging 9.2 rebounds per game in December. Our tool has Portis getting 8.8 rebounds today, good for a 65 percent chance of winning.
Dillion Brooks Prop: Over 3 Rebounds
This prop has the best chance of winning according to Stokastic data. This is a winning bet 75 percent of the time. Brooks was shut out in the rebounding department Friday in a blowout win over the Suns, but he’s averaging 3.6 boards per game this month. The PrizePicks tool has him projected for 3.92 rebounds in this game against the Golden State Warriors.
Draymond Green Prop: Over 6 Rebounds
Staying with the matchup between the Warriors and Grizzlies, Draymond Green projects to hit the over on his rebounding total 68 percent of the time. Only Brooks has a better percentage of winning than Green. He’s averaging six boards on the year, but has only gotten there four times in December. However, Stokastic projects him for over 30 minutes on Sunday, which he’s only hit once in his last five games. More minutes should mean more rebounding opportunities for the Draymond Green.
