Naz Reid PrizePicks NBA Pick: Higher 17.5 Points
Reid has made an immediate impact in Charlotte. After seven seasons in Minnesota, the former Sixth Man of the Year opened his Hornets tenure with 20 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists in Brooklyn, then scored 17 against Atlanta, 23 on 5-of-8 from three against Miami and 18 with 12 rebounds against Washington on Monday. He's cleared this line in all four games.
The bigger role is the reason. Reid is averaging 19.5 points and 9.5 rebounds in 30.8 minutes, well above the 13.6 points he averaged off the bench in Minnesota last season, and he's shooting 41.2% from three on more than eight attempts per game. He also averaged 17.6 points in 14 regular-season starts as a Timberwolf, so this is the kind of production he's shown before when given the minutes.
The matchup sets up well. Detroit will be without All-NBA center Jalen Duren, who is out with a hamstring strain, leaving Paul Reed and John Collins in the middle. Reid's ability to stretch the floor should pull Detroit's bigs away from the basket. The Pistons are 4.5-point favorites with a 219.5 total. Reid at Higher 17.5 points leads our PrizePicks NBA picks.
Moussa Diabate PrizePicks NBA Pick: Higher 9.5 Rebounds
Diabate is coming off his best game of the season. He grabbed 17 rebounds with 11 points and three blocks in 35 minutes during Monday's 110-103 win over Washington, and he's averaging 9.5 rebounds in 27.8 minutes through four games.
Minutes are the key to this pick. In his two games of 34 minutes or more, Diabate has grabbed eight and 17 rebounds, while his two games around 21 to 22 minutes produced eight and five. He also averaged 8.7 rebounds in 26.0 minutes last season, climbing to 10.1 per game in February. With Jalen Duren out, Detroit loses one of the best rebounders in the league, and that opens the door for a big night on the glass.
The Hornets are 3-1, and a 4.5-point spread suggests a competitive game that keeps Charlotte's starters on the floor. Diabate needs 10 boards, and this is one of his best rebounding spots of the young season. Add Diabate to your PrizePicks NBA picks at Higher 9.5 rebounds, one of our favorite NBA props for Wednesday.
