PrizePicks Picks & Predictions: Zion Williamson And Jalen Green Tomfoolery
Jimmy Butler PrizePicks Prediction
First up, the New Orleans Pelicans are hitting Brooklyn to face the Nets at 7:30.
Now, Zion Williamson is tearing it up lately, crossing the 38.5 points, rebounds, and assists (PRA) number in his last five games. Impressive, right? But here’s the thing—I’m not entirely sold on that streak continuing tonight.
Why the hesitation? Well, the Brooklyn matchup is just… there. It’s neither good nor bad, just sort of middling. Plus, the Pelicans have their full squad ready to go—CJ, BI, Herb Jones, you name it.
With everyone on deck, Zion might not need to carry as heavy a load. So, I’m leaning towards him staying with a less than 38.5 number. Wouldn’t be shocked to see it dip even a little lower, but hey, we’ve already snagged what looks like the better side of the value.
PrizePicks Expert Pick: Zion Williamson LESS 38.5 PRA
Jalen Green PrizePicks Expert Prediction
Now, for the Rockets taking on the Wizards in Washington at 7:00—oh boy, do we have a juicy setup for Jalen Green.
Even with a full-strength Washington, they’re not exactly scaring anyone with their defense. In fact, they’re sitting pretty at the bottom of the league in that department. Toss in a high pace of play and a bunch of key players out or questionable, and it looks like Christmas came early for Green.
The kicker? Alperen Sengun sitting out changes the game for Green. More usage, more assists, more minutes—it’s all pointing to a big night. With the number set at just 34.5 for his PRA, I’m all in. This could very well be the easiest pick of the day, and we might just be counting our winnings by halftime.
PrizePicks Expert Pick: Jalen Green MORE 34.5 PRA
Final Thoughts: So, here’s the game plan: We’re playing it safe with Zion Williamson, expecting him to come in just a bit under the radar with a full Pelicans squad in a so-so matchup. But for Jalen Green? It’s full steam ahead. The stars have aligned for him to have a standout game, and we’re here for it. Catch you after the games to see how these picks play out.
Let’s hope for a quiet night for Zion Williamson and a fireworks show from Jalen Green!
