The Monday slate presents us with an action-packed 10-game NBA slate. If you’re new to the latest update of PrizePicks, they are now offering single-stat props, where you can choose the over/under of points, rebounds, or assists in addition to fantasy points. At the time of writing, however (Monday morning), only fantasy-point props have been posted, so that will be the focus.
Speaking of “PrizePicks” in general, 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 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 4-man parlay. This will provide some security, as you can earn 1.5x your buy-in if three of your four picks hit.
The first game locks at 7:40 PM ET on PrizePicks.
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 (Monday 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.
