The 2021 NBA season is finally 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, December 14th.

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.
Fred VanVleet OVER 4.5 Rebounds - I'll be looking to focus on the Raptors and Nets game tonight, and we start off with Fred VanVleet. VanVleet has a solid matchup against the Nets, despite the back-to-back, as the Nets are right in the middle of the pack in rebound rate, coming in at 15th. VanVleet has had no issues hitting this number of late, cashing in on four of his last five and seven of his last eight. My early projections have VanVleet at 6.3 rebounds, boosted by the fact that Brooklyn allows +0.6 rebounds to point guards over average.
Fred VanVleet OVER 2.5 Three-Pointers Made - We stick with VanVleet here, this time with his threes prop. We're seeing solid early sportsbook value, as this line is coming in at -178 currently. VanVleet didn't hit this number last night but has been rather consistent prior to. He's hit the number in four of his last six games, as well as seven of his last ten. Brooklyn is allowing +0.54 three-pointers made over average to point guards, and my early projections have VanVleet slated for 3.4 threes made tonight.
Pascal Siakam OVER 3.5 Assists - Siakam hit this number last night and has now cashed in on this number in seven of his last eight games. Another play here with solid sportsbook value, with this play coming in at -160 early on. The Nets are rather decent at preventing opposing power forwards' passing game, allowing -0.6 assists under the league average to the position. However, my early projections have Siakam at 4.7 assists tonight. It's not my favorite play in the world, but on a three-game slate, our options are limited.
Other Recommendations - Pascal Siakam UNDER 20.5 Points, LaMarcus Aldridge OVER 14.5 Points, James Harden OVER 2.5 Three-Pointers Made
Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
