Injury concerns highlight both NBA playoff games tonight, making DFS NBA picks and lineups may be trickier than earlier in the season. If looking for a different way to play NBA fantasy contests during the NBA playoffs, PrizePicks could be a site that interests you. Instead of building lineups of players, at PrizePicks you are making predictions on player stats or fantasy points, with more correct predictions meaning higher payouts.
PrizePicks provides a big list of stats and fantasy points, and you are able to pick and choose which you want to make a prediction for. Stringing together a few picks can pay out up to 10 times your entry fee. You are even able to combine picks across different sports. The only rule is you must make picks for players on at least two different teams.
For the sake of this article, we will take you through four of the best NBA fantasy PrizePicks predictions to make for the NBA Playoffs Round 2 games today.
PrizePicks NBA Fantasy | Playoffs Round 2
It is important to note that, much like odds that update throughout the day, the player totals at PrizePicks are subject to change. So if you like these NBA picks below, it’s wise to jump on them quickly.
Paul George: Over 51.5 NBA Fantasy Points
PrizePicks uses the same NBA fantasy scoring format as FanDuel, so Awesemo’s projections for FanDuel work for picks on PrizePicks. With Kawhi Leonard out tonight, George will be running the show. When Leonard has been off the floor this season, George has had a ridiculous 35.1% usage rate, which he should have again tonight. Awesemo is projecting him for nearly 55 fantasy points, so go with the over for George given where his total is set right now.
Royce O’Neale: Over 1.5 Made 3’s
O’Neale has played his role well during this postseason. He plays defense, rebounds and hits the open 3. When the Jazz are trailing, Donovan Mitchell tries to do everything himself, which is why many of the Utah role players did not do much offensively last game. Still, O’Neale buried two shots from downtown. This means he has at least two made 3-pointerss in six of his last eight games.

Reggie Jackson: Over 2.5 Made 3’s
A surprise contributor during the Clippers’ playoff run, Jackson will be asked to step up even more tonight with Leonard out. Jackson has been dialed in beyond the arc. Prior to last game, he had hit at least three shots from downtown in nine straight games. This pick is successful 90% of the time, so don’t let the one hiccup be a deterrent.
Joel Embiid: Over 3.0 Assists
The Hawks are determined to not let Embiid beat them by himself. As he gets the ball down low, the defense collapses and Embiid finds the open shooter. For this reason, 3-point picks for players like Seth Curry or Furkan Korkmaz are also good since they should naturally see open 3-point looks. Embiid totaled eight and four assists in Games 3 and 4, respectively, meaning he has gone over this assist total in three of the four games this series.
