NBA PrizePicks & Underdog Plays for Tuesday, January 14
- Dejounte Murray More Than 16.5 Points
- Cason Wallace Less Than 3.5 Rebounds
- Jarrett Allen More Than 12.5 Points
Dejounte Murray More Than 16.5 Points
Pelicans vs Bulls, 8:00 p.m. ET
Even with the Pelicans mostly healthy at this point, this projection is far too low for Dejounte Murray.
The Bulls are one of the best matchups on the board playing at the 3rd highest pace in the league and being a bottom-10 defensive team this season.
I expect this game to stay close, and Murray has been playing well recently, scoring more than this number in each of the Pelicans' last four games and averaging 23 points per game during that span.
Everything points toward Murray clearing this projection tonight, and I expect this number to move, so get in early.
Pick: Dejounte Murray More Than 16.5 Points
Cason Wallace Less Than 3.5 Rebounds
Thunder vs 76ers, 7 p.m. ET
By Jim Turvey
This is a low number, but Cason Wallace has cleared it in only one of his past nine games, and he tends to lean toward the lower-side of this range on the season overall.
Alex Caruso returns for the Thunder this evening, which could also eat into Wallace's minutes.
The Sixers are slightly better than league-average at preventing opponents from grabbing rebounds. I expect Wallace to fall short of 3.5 boards tonight.
Pick: Cason Wallace Less Than 3.5 Rebounds
Jarrett Allen More Than 12.5 Points
Cavaliers vs Pacers, 7:00 p.m. ET
By Jim Turvey
Going to run this back despite taking a loss on it last game.
Jarrett Allen finished a bucket shy of this projection in his latest outing, but his minutes were lowered in a semi-blowout loss.
The logic remains the same, however, with the Pacers susceptible in the paint thanks to a defensive scheme that funnels teams there.
Allen cleared this number in the two games he got regular minutes against the Pacers last year, and RotoGrinders projects Allen for 15.1 points on Tuesday.
