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, October 18th.

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.
Luka Doncic UNDER 3.5 Three-Pointers Made - Luka has had a relatively slow start to the year, as most of these stars in the NBA have. This number is simply way too high, especially considering Luka hasn't hit this number at all this season through the first six games and hitting three three-pointers just once. The Heat are tough defending the perimeter, and while this could turn into a Butler/Doncic showdown, I can't see him breaking his cold streak and hitting four threes in this one.
Christian Wood OVER 1.5 Three-Pointers Made - While Wood didn't hit two threes against the Lakers on Sunday, he has hit this number in all five other games this season. My early projections have Wood at 2.2 threes made, making this a solid value play in our PrizePicks lineups, as well as on the sportsbook in a rematch against the Lakers tonight.
Bojan Bogdanovic OVER 3.5 Rebounds - I'm looking for my fellow Croatian to come through tonight, and if the trends are any indication, he should. First, my early projections have Bogdanovic grabbing four boards. The only matchup he didn't grab four or more rebounds in this season was against Denver last week, but he's had at least four in five of six games, and at least five in three of six games. This will be the second time the Jazz take on the Kings this season, and last time out Bogy grabbed five rebounds in 34 minutes.
Other Recommendations - Harrison Barnes OVER 2.5 Three-Pointers Made, De'Aaron Fox OVER 1.5 Three-Pointers Made, Rudy Gobert OVER 13.5 Points, LeBron James OVER 2.5 Three-Pointers Made
Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
