🏆 Today’s best NBA player picks
🎯 Paolo Banchero ⬆️ 25.5 points
Banchero has been on a tear since the All-Star break while averaging a whopping 29.7 points, a significant increase from the 22.5 he was putting up before the break.
Orlando’s star forward has gone Higher than 25.5 points in 11 of his last 17 outings. He’s scored 30-plus points in four straight games and in six of his last seven. Tonight’s tilt with the depleted Mavericks offers a great chance for him to be productive yet again.
🎯 Tyrese Haliburton ⬆️ 32.5 points + rebounds + assists
Banchero’s increase in production post All-Star break has been tremendous, but Haliburton is performing even better since then. Indiana’s star point guard struggled to start the season while averaging 29.9 PRA per game. But he's averaging a healthy 37 since returning from the break.
Hali has posted double-digit assists in 12 straight contests, and he’s gone for Higher than 32.5 PRA in four consecutive games. He’s reached that mark in 10 of his last 13, and now Haliburton will face one of the Association's worst teams tonight.
🎯 Jalen Green ⬆️ 22.5 points
This line is set far too low considering how well Green has been playing over the last few weeks. He posted a six-point dud against the Heat, but Green has still scored 23-plus points in seven of his last eight matchups.
Green has also tallied 30-plus points three times during that span, and he’ll now benefit from a great matchup with the Jazz tonight. The guard has scored Higher than 22.5 points 34 times in 73 games this season, including a 25-point showing against the Jazz. He’s gone Higher than 22.5 in three of his last five meetings with Utah.
🎯 Bam Adebayo ⬆️ 17.5 points
The theme of today’s picks is pre and post All-Star break production, and Adebayo certainly fits in well. He averaged just 16.7 points before the break, and Adebayo has posted 20.1 points while going Higher than 17.5 in 13 of 19 games since then.
Adebayo has scored at least 18 points in 35 of 70 games this season, including a 20-point performance against the Hawks. The big man has produced Higher than 17.5 points in each of his last three home matchups with Miami, and we’re confident he’ll do it again tonight.
🎯 Dyson Daniels ⬆️ 2.5 steals
The Great Barrier Thief is on pace to record the most steals during a single season in nearly 35 years. Averaging 3.1 swipes per game, he leads the Association in that category and has gone for Higher than 2.5 steals in 40 of 67 outings overall.
Daniels has recorded three-plus steals in seven straight games. He's also averaged three steals pre-break and 3.4 post-break. He’s swiped Higher than 2.5 steals in 12 of 17 games since the break, and Daniels gets an ideal matchup tonight in a great spot against a familiar opponent in the Heat.

Choose 2-5 player picks and predict whether they’ll finish higher or lower than the projected total. If you hit on all of your picks in "Standard" (or less with "Flex"), you'll win.
