The last NBA slate of the 2020 calendar year is upon us, so it feels like an appropriate time to get back at 2020 by winning all of the money that we deserve after going through a year like this. To do so, PrizePicks has offered a wide array of NBA picks, starting as early as 3:10 p.m. ET.
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 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 3x (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.
The early game locks at 3:10 p.m. ET, so make sure to get the picks in early.
An important note — these lines can shift over the course of the day leading up until lock. The lines that I am quoting are at the time of writing (Thursday morning). I will be in the PrizePicks Discord channel (which is FREE!) up until lock to help out with how to adjust to the changing projections.
