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 projecting the point, assist, rebound, or three-point totals for some of the league's top players. 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. For today's article, we are going to try and focus on the main board's Single Stat players and explain why players will/will not reach their projections.

Single Stat NBA Totals
Kyrie Irving over 26.5 points: Irving is coming off his worst game of the season, scoring a season-low nine points on 3-for-13 shooting against the Raptors. But with James Harden still sidelined, the Nets need Irving to keep firing away from deep. Those 13 shot attempts broke a string of five games in a row with at least 19 attempts, with Irving going over 26.5 points in three of those five games. Indiana also allows the eighth-most points and 10th-highest three-point field goal percentage in the NBA. Another good sign there for Irving.
Caris Levert over 22.5 points: Yes, I'm bringing the Revenge Game factor into play here. LeVert has failed to hit this o/u mark in the past two games, but the Nets allow the ninth-most points per game. This is Levert's second game against his former team, but that first one came in just his third game back, when he was still working through his shot. LeVert has now shot 42 percent or better in five consecutive games.
Kelly Olynyk over 7.5 rebounds: Olynyk has gone over this mark three games in a row, in large part because he's played 30-plus minutes in all three of those games. And with Danuel House and Avery Bradley not practicing Wednesday, it looks like we'll have another game where the Rockets need to rely on their starters to do a lot. It's also good to note that Christian Wood's return to the lineup last game didn't have a negative impact at all on Olynyk -- in fact, it seemed to help him.
Anthony Edwards over 2.5 3-PT made: Edwards is just 2-for-18 from three over the past two games, but the important thing there for me is the 18. He's just firing away from deep right now, and while those shots haven't been going in, he's averaging 9.6 attempts from deep over the past nine games, with 3.0 made threes per game. I'd rather bet on him shooting 33 percent on nine attempts than bet on another night shooting under 15 percent, so I'm taking the over here with Edwards.
