Welcome to our PrizePicks NBA DFS prop picks for Wednesday, April 26th, 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.

Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 54 Fantasy Score
I'll kick off today's slate with Giannis Antetokounmpo's fantasy score prop. Anetetokounmpo has exceeded this projection in three of his last games, averaging a fantasy score of 46.9 during that stretch.
Today the Milwaukee Bucks face Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat in an elimination game, currently down 3-1. Being the number one seed, it's very unlikely that the Bucks will fall to the Heat in only five games, and in order to win, the Greek freak has to go off; there's no question.
I also took Antetokounmpos' PRA at 47.5, which got bumped to 48.5 with -130 odds on the over; however, his fantasy score oddly remained at 54. In a win-or-go-home game, I expect to see a lot from Antetokounmpo to keep the Bucks' season alive.
Jimmy Butler UNDER 29.5 Points
Next up, I'll be taking a look at Jimmy Butler's points prop. Butler has been under this number in one of his last five games, averaging 35.4 points during that span.
This was a tough one, and you can call me crazy for it, but I think the Bucks have to, and will, make some type of defensive adjustment on Butler at this point in the series. They are yet to trap or double-team him, and to put it quite simply; if they don't change things up and their season ends tonight from Butler, Mike Budenholzer will likely lose his job.
The books have Butler at -120 odds to go under 29.5 points, giving us a slight lean here. Expect a new defensive strategy on Butler and other Heat players to be more involved on offense.
Anthony Davis OVER 4.5 Blocks + Steals
I'll finish things off with Anthony Davis' blocks and steals prop. Davis has been over this prop in all five of his last five games, averaging 6.2 blocks + steals during that span.
Davis is coming off a horrendous game finishing with just 12 points, but the one prop he was still able to cover despite the poor performance was his blocks and steals prop. Davis seems inconsistent on the offensive end, but he brings his A-game on defense every night.
The books like Davis to go over 4.5 blocks + steals with -135 odds, giving us a nice lean here. It should be a close game as the Lakers try to close things out back in Memphis, so expect Davis to lock in on defense.
Other Recommendations:
- Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 18 RA
- Caris LeVert OVER 13.5 Points
- Donovan Mitchell UNDER 29.5 Points
- Jimmy Butler OVER 11.5 RA
- Domantas Sabonis UNDER 46.5 Fantasy Score
Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
