Bales’ Premium PrizePicks – NBA Player Props 2/20

Welcome to Bales’ Premium PrizePicks – NBA Player Props 2/20! Below I will discuss my NBA favorite plays for tonight’s slate!

 

Power Play

Christian Wood has looked outstanding in four games without Andre Drummond. In those games, he’s averaging 20.0 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.0 block (38.3 fantasy points) in 33.0 minutes per game. Wood played 35+ minutes in 3 of those 4 games, scoring 39+ fantasy points in each of those games. He’s expected to find 30+ minutes once again tonight. Wood gets an interesting matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks tonight. They lead the NBA in both pace and defensive rating. With that being said, they have struggled at times against bigs this season. Wood has only struggled when given limited minutes since the Drummond trade, and he should find plenty of success in 30+ minutes in this matchup tonight.

Caris LeVert is another player that has seen his minutes increase in recent games. He’s averaging 24.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.8 steals (38.8 fantasy points) in 32.0 minutes per game over his last 5 games. LeVert scored 35+ fantasy points in 4 of those 5 games, including a trio of 44+ fantasy point performances. He will find minutes in the mid-30s once again tonight, and he’s a huge part of the offense. LeVert gets a tough matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, who rank 18th in the NBA in pace and fourth in defensive rating. With that being said, could continue to see around 20 shot attempts tonight. Even in a tough matchup, this total is entirely too low for his new minutes and role.

Play 1 unit on Christian Wood OVER 37.5 fantasy points and Caris LeVert OVER 32.5 fantasy points to win 2.5 units (2.5x)
