The 2021 NBA second half is underway and that means our new friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS props site where you can choose to select plays in terms of fantasy points or single stats. The goal is to build a 2-player, 3-player, 4-player, or 5-player entry and then select whether or not you want to play for the power play or the flex play. On the power play, you will need to be correct on each of your selections to win, and on the flex play, you will have a little more wiggle room for a chance to win some money back.
Our partners at PrizePicks offer some of the best and easiest to win NBA DFS games in the industry. There are no large-field tournaments filled with sharks where you have to get lucky just to place. At PrizePicks, you're not playing against other people, you're just playing against the projections, and the guys at PrizePicks have worked hard to give you really attractive opportunities to make some money. With promo code 'BALLER' you can get a 100% match on your deposit up to $100.
PrizePicks has two types of games. The first type of game is known as Fantasy Score, which consists of selecting various players and trying to determine if they will go over or under their projected fantasy points in a game. The second game is known as Single Stat.
For NBA, Single Stat consists of points, rebounds, assists, three-pointers made, and free throws made, in which you determine if the player in question will go over or under their projected total. You can mix and match players from each type of game in your entry or select all of your plays from the same type of game. Once you have selected your players and props, you can choose the aforementioned flex play or power play option. Today, we will look at some single-stat scores for tonight, March 29th.

Single Stat NBA Totals
Editor's Note: Prize Picks prop totals are not always available first thing in the morning, so check back during the day as other props may be added during the day.
Tyrese Maxey OVER 17.5 Points - I'll start off tonight's slate with Tyrese Maxey's points prop. Maxey has hit this number in four of his last five games, as well as in each matchup against Milwaukee this season. Despite those two games against Milwaukee being prior to James Harden joining the team, Maxey's points per game have increased when Harden plays, from 17.1 points per game to 18.5. Milwaukee allows 0.36 points per game over average to point guards and my early projections have Maxey projected for 18.6 points tonight, so we're getting good value on this prop.
Cade Cunningham OVER 6.5 Assists - I'm going to double-dip on the Pistons tonight, who have been playing very well of late. I'll start with Cade Cunningham, who has hit this number in five straight contests. The Nets struggle against shooting guards, ranking 26th in defensive efficiency against shooting guards, as well as allowing 0.08 assists over the league average to the position. I have Cunningham projected for 6.8 assists tonight, a relatively low margin between the actual prop, but it's hard not to ride the hot hand of Cunningham in a plus matchup in Brooklyn.
Isaiah Stewart OVER 8.5 Rebounds - Stewart has been consistent in hitting this number, grabbing nine or more rebounds in four of his last five games as well as in 19 of his last 30 games. Stewart has hit this number in each of the Pistons' last two matchups against the Nets and has seen a decent increase of minutes over his last five games (from 26 minutes to 27.8). Brooklyn allows 0.64 rebounds under the league average to centers, however, they come into this one with just a 50% rebound rate and my projections have Stewart grabbing 9.7 rebounds tonight, so we're getting really nice value on this number.
Other Recommendations - Joel Embiid OVER 30.5 Points, Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 29.5 Points, Luka Doncic OVER 46.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists, Isaiah Stewart OVER 19.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
