The 2021 NBA season 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, February 15.

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.
D'Angelo Russell OVER 19.5 Points - I'll start tonight's picks off with Russell's points prop. Russell gets a solid matchup tonight as the Hornets struggle against shooting guards, ranking 26th in point guard efficiency and allowing +2.17 points over average to shooting guards. I have Russell projected for 21.19 points, and he's hit this number in six of his last ten, so we're getting solid value here.
Karl-Anthony Towns OVER 11.5 Rebounds - I'll stick with the Timberwolves/Hornets game as this game has massive fantasy and prop potential due to the fast-paced, high-scoring playstyle of these two teams. The Hornets rank 26th in center efficiency and allow +2.5 rebounds over the league average to centers. I have Towns' rebounds projection at a whopping 14.7 tonight, so we're getting really good value here.
Jayson Tatum OVER 3.5 Assists - This is a great play and possibly my favorite play of the night. Tatum has hit this number in eight of his last ten and at a 63% clip over the last 30 days. The Sixers rank 23rd in small forward efficiency and allow +0.5 assists over the league average to small forwards. I have Tatum projected at 5.4 assists tonight, and I would take this on the sportsbook, but it's already at -144 as I'm typing this. I will take it on PrizePicks though.
Other Recommendations - Jarrett Allen OVER 13.5 Points, Al Horford OVER 5.5 Rebounds, Jayson Tatum OVER 7.5 Rebounds
Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
