Today's PrizePicks NBA DFS prop picks for Friday, April 21st, 2023 by Jake King-Finnen. Use his NBA over/under props recommendations to win money on PrizePicks.
Welcome to our PrizePicks NBA DFS prop picks for Friday, April 21st, 2023. The 2022-2023 NBA season is rolling along, and our friends over at PrizePicks still 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.
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.

PrizePicks Over/Under DFS Props Contests
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 different types of games 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.

Jayson Tatum 39.5 Pts+Rebs
Through the first two games Jayson Tatum has yet to have a 30-point game, but he’s hitting double-digit rebounds with zero problems. His rebound prop is sitting at 9.5 which favors the over, but rebounds are generally fickle and this is Boston’s first away game in the playoffs.
Not that playing on the road matters all that much, but role players tend to shy away from the spotlight leaving players like Tatum to pick up the slack.
Any improvement in either department, points or rebounds, and the under here is sweating.
Donovan Mitchell MORE 46.5 Fantasy Score
The backcourt for Cleveland is dissecting the Knicks defense and every game it’s a new development depending on which player, Donovan Mitchell or Darius Garland carried the load. There is no direct answer to Mitchell from the Knicks and that should remain a constant.
The offense focuses on multiple sources, but Mitchell is the one that is getting touches every time regardless of his production and it’s going to continue throughout the series.
Seeing how Mitchell always plays the role of primary playmaker, the Fantasy Score route should be the easiest to clear.
Michael Porter Jr. MORE 22.5 Pts+Rebs
Even though he only took seven shots last game, he still was extremely efficient and the Nuggets won. The Timberwolves may start to attack Michael Porter Jr.’s defense in Games 3 and 4, but until it becomes a detriment to the team, the spacing he offers is helping Denver win games.
The drop in shot attempts shouldn’t be alarming, but it should be noted that he’s not a focal point of the offense and there is risk when betting on someone who doesn’t contribute in the small yet important ways.
He will get benched quick if he can’t hit his shot, but he’s taking so many wide-open shots the Nuggets could try and ride those opportunities to the finish.
Other Recommendations:
- Malcolm Brogdon OVER 0.5 Steals
- Bogdan Bogdanovic OVER 0.5 Free Throws Made
- Darius Garland OVER 7.0 Assists
- Aaron Gordon OVER 0.5 3-PT Made
Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
