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 8th.

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.
Steven Adams OVER 7.5 Points - I'll start off tonight's slate with Steven Adams's points prop. Adams has been hot and cold with this number but did score 23 points his last time out against Houston on Sunday. He's logged 14 and 15 points, respectively in two games against the Pelicans this season, and it's hard to expect anything different tonight. The Pels rank 26th in center efficiency on the season and allow +1.56 points over average to centers. I currently have Adams projected for 9.34 points tonight, but could certainly see him hitting double digits.
CJ McCollum OVER 4.5 Rebounds - Speaking of the Pelicans, I'll look to CJ McCollum's rebounds prop here as well. In two games against Memphis this season, McCollum has grabbed six boards in each of the two matchups. CJ has hit this number in five straight and in eight of his last ten. While the Grizzlies rank eighth in shooting guard efficiency and allow -0.26 rebounds under the league average, I still like this play based on McCollum's recent history against them. I have him projected for 5.3 rebounds tonight.
Terry Rozier OVER 30.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists - PrizePicks currently have this number one short of Rozier's Vegas number, 31.5. This number makes a huge difference as Rozier has had a few 31 PRA games over the past few weeks. He's had at least 31 PRA in seven of his last ten, 18 of his last 30, and in six of seven games this season when the Hornets have two days of rest between games. My early data projects Rozier to log 33.2 points + rebounds + assists tonight, so we're getting good value at this number.
Other Recommendations - Kyrie Irving OVER 23.5 Points, LaMelo Ball OVER 6.5 Assists, Herbert Jones OVER 3.5 Rebounds, Kevin Durant OVER 41.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
