PrizePicks for August 11

If Monday wasn’t the wildest NBA slate of the season, then I don’t know what was. On top of an early lock, we had late scratches up until 30 minutes prior to lock, causing the whole world to scramble for value. This also affected Monday’s PrizePicks, with the updates being posted in the FTN Discord.

If the same case arises Tuesday, we’ll follow the same procedure for both NBA and MLB.

Speaking of “PrizePicks,” it is a creative new way to parlay picks based on expected fantasy point production.

The format is simple. You pick two, three, or four players and predict whether or not they will go over or under their projected fantasy point total.

When parlaying the players, the larger your parlay, the better the payout:

• Two-pick entry pays 2.5x (max entry: $400)
• Three-pick entry pays 5x (max entry: $200)
• Four-pick entry pays 10x (max entry: $100)

As a bonus offer, there is a “flex play” option if you choose to run a four-man parlay. This will provide some security, as you can earn 1.5x your buy-in if three of your four picks hit.

Below are my top five PrizePicks for the Tuesday slates, both NBA and MLB. Unlike Monday, we have later locks. NBA locks at 4 p.m. ET while the MLB slate kicks off on PrizePicks at 6:37.

I will be mixing and matching my pick combinations from the pool below, with my favorite combination(s) also included.
