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, November 9th.

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.
Paul George OVER 27 Points - With it being just a three-game slate, I've chosen a trio of Clippers to make my play. First is Paul George. After struggling in the first game against Portland, Paul George bounced back heavily in the second game going for 42 points on 15-24 shooting. Early on, my projections have George at 28.9 points tonight, so you're getting a slight value boost. Portland also struggles against opposing SFs, allowing +7.2 points above the NBA average.
Ivica Zubac OVER 7.5 Rebounds - In two games against Portland this season, Zubac has only averaged 6.5 rebounds. However, that number is a bit weighed down by the five rebound performance on October 29, where he only played 22 minutes. Portland is slightly above average as far as letting centers get rebounds, as they allow 0.25 fewer rebounds to centers than the league average. The reason I'm making this pick is that my early projections show Zubac getting 11.2 rebounds in 25 minutes, making it extremely difficult to pass this number up.
Eric Bledsoe OVER 3.5 Assists - My final Clipper of the trio is Eric Bledsoe. Bledsoe struggled in the last game against Portland, logging just 1 rebound in 22 minutes. He had seven in their first meeting of the season, but I feel he finds himself somewhere in the middle tonight. Bledsoe should see somewhat of a minute boost relative to his last game against Portland, and my early projections have him at 4.3 assists. The Blazers give Bledsoe a slight boost as well, allowing 1.12 assists over the NBA average to shooting guards.
Other Recommendations - Ivica Zubac OVER 9.5 Points, Robert Covington OVER 6.5 Points, Reggie Jackson OVER 3.5 Rebounds
Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
