Aaron Wiggins PrizePicks NBA Pick: Higher 11.5 Points

Wiggins has been one of the best bargains of the offseason. Oklahoma City traded him to Atlanta for two future second-round picks, and he's averaging 17.0 points through three games. He scored 16 points at Orlando, 19 on 7-of-9 shooting in just 21 minutes at Charlotte, and 16 more against Houston on Saturday.

The opportunity is what changed. Wiggins averaged 9.4 points in 21.8 minutes last season in a crowded Thunder rotation, and his role nearly disappeared in the playoffs. In Atlanta, he's a featured scorer off the bench, and he's made at least three threes in every game, shooting 52.6% from deep.

Monday is a quick rematch in Houston after the Rockets beat the Hawks on Saturday, and Wiggins scored 16 points on 4-of-9 from three in 28 minutes in that game. Houston is a 5.5-point favorite with a total around 230.5, and a competitive game should keep Atlanta's top bench scorer on the floor. Wiggins at Higher 11.5 points leads our PrizePicks NBA picks.

Jalen Smith PrizePicks NBA Pick: Higher 10.5 Points

Smith has been one of the most consistent scorers in Chicago's frontcourt. With Nic Claxton out with a hamstring injury, Smith has started all three games at center and scored 15, 14 and 14 points, including a 14-point, 13-rebound double-double in the win at Milwaukee.

He's doing it efficiently and in modest minutes. Smith has played 19 to 24 minutes a night, and he averaged a career-high 10.2 points in 20.7 minutes last season as a stretch big who can score inside and from three. Claxton is still out Monday, so Smith keeps the starting job.

The risk is the spread. Boston is a 13.5-point favorite with a 233.5 total, and Smith sat the entire fourth quarter of Chicago's blowout loss in Toronto. Even in that game, though, he scored 15 points in 19 minutes. Add Smith to your PrizePicks NBA picks at Higher 10.5 points, one of our favorite NBA props for Monday.
