Welcome to our PrizePicks NBA DFS prop picks for Monday, May 29th, 2023. The 2022-2023 NBA season is rolling along, and our friends over at PrizePicks still 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. 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.
Announcement: We have two awesome new Props Optimizers for MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL and NCAA! The PrizePicks Optimizer and Prop Bets Optimizer are both available in our new Props Premium Package, which includes exclusive access to RotoBaller's VIP Discord chat rooms for props and betting.
PrizePicks Over/Under DFS Props Contests
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 different types of games 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.

Jimmy Butler OVER 50.5 Fantasy Score
I'll start the day off with Jimmy Butler's fantasy score prop. Butler has exceeded this projection in two of his last five games, averaging 45.8 fantasy points in that stretch.
After a thrilling game six loss, the Miami Heat will return to Boston for game seven. Butler has been THE guy in this year's playoffs, carrying the Heat to the semi-finals and potentially even the finals. After losing three in a row, it only makes sense for Butler to come up big tonight.
Butler will likely play nearly the entire game, as he is coming off game six, where he played 47 minutes. I expect tonight to be no different. Butler's defensive steal/block upside is outstanding, too. He is averaging 3.4 steals + blocks in this series; that's 10.2 fantasy points. I expect a big game from Butler tonight, and his efforts should keep the game close.
Jayson Tatum OVER 16.5 Rebounds + Assists
Next, I'll be looking at Jayson Tatum's rebounds and assists prop. Tatum has exceeded this projection in four of his last five games, averaging 17.4 RA during that span.
Tatum is on a hot streak, going over this projection in all three of his last three games. When facing elimination, Tatum plays more minutes and therefore racks up more rebounds and assists. Tonight, in a crucial game seven, I expect Tatum to play nearly the full game.
The books have Tatum listed at 16.5 rebounds + assists with -120 odds to go over. I expect Tatum to cover this projection considering the amount of volume he will see.
Caleb Martin OVER 5.5 3-PT Attempts
I'll finish things off with Caleb Martin's 3-pt attempts prop. Martin has exceeded this projection in three of his last games, averaging 6.5 3-pt attempts during that span.
Martin has been amazing for the Heat and stepped up in this series big time. Martin has averaged 18.1 points throughout the series and has been a major factor offensively. I expect Martin to look to continue this hot streak and let it fly from deep.
Some other apps have Martin listed at seven 3-pt attempts, giving us a 1.5 margin here. Let's see how the Heat respond to this three-game losing streak; in this final game seven, that will decide it all.
Other Recommendations:
- Derrick White UNDER 14 Points
- Bam Adebayo OVER 26.5 PR
- Caleb Martin OVER 7.5 1h Points
Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
