Finally, the NBA Playoffs are here! We have four games on this DFS slate today, with all eight teams looking to get off to a fast start in their series. The stakes and level of intensity now steps up to another level. So, we will no longer be seeing players take rest days. Even if they have to be limited, they will likely be active. These things can make things tough to win in Fantasy NBA.
However, No House Advantage brings gamers a different twist on NBA DFS. NHA offers props for various players at different point levels. The optimal way to win prop bets is by utilizing the Awesemo No House Advantage NBA projections to find the biggest discrepancy between the NHA prop and the tool itself. Let’s go over some NBA picks today for tonight’s slate and dive into some of the No House Advantage prop picks.
No House Advantage: NBA Picks Today | April 16
Jalen Brunson: OVER 16.5 Points
Luka Doncic is out for the Dallas Mavericks with a calf injury. Luckily for us, it seems like this points prop for Jalen Brunson was created before the news was final.
With Doncic, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Kristaps Porzingis off the floor this season, Brunson had a massive 30.7% usage rate, averaging 24.7 points per 36 minutes. Brunson and Dallas faced the Jazz on Christmas Day without Doncic, which resulted in Brunson scoring 27 points. The Awesemo NBA Player Props Tool projects Brunson for 22.12 points tonight, easily going over this NHA prop.
Joel Embiid: Over 11.5 Rebounds
MVP candidate Joel Embiid is likely to have a massive first-round series against the Toronto Raptors. He finished the season extremely strong, averaging 34.9 points and 13.8 rebounds over his final 10 games. When looking at this Raptors lineup, it’s fair to ask who can even match up with Embiid, much less slow him down.
This looks like one of the more lopsided series of the first round. Look for Embiid to be sharp today, as the 76ers waste no time handling Toronto. This includes on the defensive end, forcing missed shots, and creating more rebounding opportunities for Embiid, who grabbed 20 the last time we saw him. The Awesemo NBA Player Props Tool projects Embiid for 13.10 rebounds tonight.

Jordan Poole: Over 18.5 Points
We saw Jordan Poole step up and take on a larger role down the stretch of this season, due to Steph Curry being out injured. Yes, Curry is expected to make his return today, but all indications point to him being limited at least a little bit, which means Poole will still reside in an increased role. Due to his success over the past couple of months, his confidence also must be at an all-time high heading into the postseason.
Poole has totaled over 18.5 points in 19 of his past 20 games, with his lowest output being 18 points. The Awesemo NBA Player Prop Betting Stat Projections list Poole for 20.29 points tonight.
