The 2021 NBA season is underway and that means our new friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS props site where you can choose to select plays in terms of fantasy points or single stats. The goal is to build a 2-player, 3-player, 4-player, or 5-player entry and then select whether or not you want to play for the power play or the flex play. On the power play, you will need to be correct on each of your selections to win, and on the flex play, you will have a little more wiggle room for a chance to win some money back.
Our partners at PrizePicks offer some of the best and easiest to win NBA DFS games in the industry. There are no large-field tournaments filled with sharks where you have to get lucky just to place. At PrizePicks, you're not playing against other people, you're just playing against the projections, and the guys at PrizePicks have worked hard to give you really attractive opportunities to make some money. With promo code 'BALLER' you can get a 100% match on your deposit up to $100.
PrizePicks has two types of games. The first type of game is known as Fantasy Score, which consists of selecting various players and trying to determine if they will go over or under their projected fantasy points in a game. The second game is known as Single Stat. For NBA, Single Stat consists of points, rebounds, assists, three-pointers made, and free throws made, in which you determine if the player in question will go over or under their projected total. You can mix and match players from each type of game in your entry or select all of your plays from the same type of game. Once you have selected your players and props, you can choose the aforementioned flex play or power play option. Today, we will look at some single-stat scores for tonight, February 8.

Single Stat NBA Totals
Editor's Note: Prize Picks prop totals are not always available first thing in the morning, so check back during the day as other props may be added during the day.
LeBron James OVER 27.5 Points - I'll start tonight's picks off with LeBron's points prop. LeBron has hit this number in eight of his last ten, and at a 65% clip on the season. He matches up with the Bucks who rank 27th in small forward efficiency and allow +1.11 more points than the league average to the position. I currently have LeBron projected for 28.84 points, so you're getting good value here.
Tobias Harris OVER 28.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists - Tobias Harris has been mentioned among the Sixers trade talks, but in all honesty, I don't think he gets moved this season. Regardless, he's hit this PRA number in eight of his last ten, and at a 57% clip on the year. Harris draws a tough matchup with the Suns tonight, who rank 12th in power forward efficiency. However, the Suns are on a back-to-back, and I have Harris projected for 30.68 PRA tonight.
Christian Wood OVER 30.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists - I'll finish off tonight's slate with Christian Wood's PRA prop. Wood has hit this number in eight of his last ten and at a 60% clip on the season. While Jonas Valanciunas is a great center, I don't think he has the mobility to guard Wood so I can see the Pelicans, who rank 20th in center efficiency, struggling to stop Wood tonight. My data agrees, as I currently have Wood projected for 33.56 PRA tonight.
Other Recommendations - Tobias Harris OVER 17.5 Points, Ja Morant OVER 27.5 Points, Tyrese Maxey OVER 4.5 Assists
Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
