Tristan da Silva PrizePicks NBA Pick: Higher 12.5 Points
Da Silva has stepped into a bigger role with Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs out. He's averaging 14.1 points in 29.4 minutes on 50.0% shooting and 44.2% from three, and he's cleared this line in four of seven games, including 19 at New York, 20 in Toronto, and 23 with 10 rebounds against Boston on Sunday.
His scoring comes in bunches when the threes fall. Da Silva has made at least four threes in four of his seven games, and he's playing 31 to 35 minutes in three of his last four, the kind of workload that gives him a steady floor.
Phoenix is the right opponent. The Suns allow 121.5 points per 100 possessions, the worst mark in the NBA, according to ESPN's Hollinger team stats, and opponents are shooting 40.3% from three against them, 29th in the league. The Suns are also on the second night of a back-to-back. Da Silva at Higher 12.5 points leads our PrizePicks NBA picks.
Klay Thompson PrizePicks NBA Pick: Higher 13.5 Points
Thompson has caught fire in Miami. After a slow start, he's scored 25 points against Indiana, 19 against the Lakers, and 30 in Wednesday's game against the Clippers, making 19 threes over those three games. His season average is now 14.1 points on 42.5% shooting from three.
His minutes are rising with his production. Thompson played 26, 27, and 35 minutes in his last three games after logging 15 to 17 in two games just before that, and the Heat are leaning on his shooting.
Now he returns to Chase Center, where he spent the first 13 seasons of his career. Miami is on the second night of a back-to-back, which is the risk for a 36-year-old, and Golden State is a 7.5-point favorite. But the 235.5 total points suggest a high-scoring night, and Thompson is in the best rhythm of his season. Add Thompson to your PrizePicks NBA picks at Higher 13.5 points, one of our favorite NBA props for Thursday.
