After a small four-game slate on Tuesday night, the basketball gods have blessed us with a monster, 10-game slate on Wednesday. With 10 games in play and good options all over the board, there are a few spots that bettors should take advantage of on PrizePicks. Trae Young, Ben Simmons and Giannis Antetokounmpo are all intriguing names on tonight’s slate, so let’s see who our experts think are good values for the best PrizePicks NBA props.
Best PrizePicks NBA Props | October 26
Trae Young O/U 43.5 Fantasy Points
Averaging 46.30 fantasy points through the Hawks’ first three games, Young continues to establish himself as one of the most productive guards in the NBA. While almost every single one of his PrizePicks props looks too low, focusing on his fantasy point total makes the most sense.
Projected for 45.68 fantasy points, Young finds himself in a smash spot against a Pistons team in the second half of a back-to-back. It wouldn’t be surprising at all to see him surpass 50 points in this spot. After hitting 51.3 and 64.8 fantasy points in two of his last four meetings with Detroit, Young’s PrizePicks prop should be at least two points higher. Over 43.5 fantasy points is the obvious play.
Best PrizePicks Prop: Trae Young OVER 43.5 Fantasy Points
Ben Simmons O/U 27.5 Fantasy Points
Much has been made of Simmons’ struggles to start the season and averaging 22.70 fantasy points per game, it’s hard to argue with his critics right now. Despite his tumultuous exit in Philadelphia and a slow start in Brooklyn, this is still a player who is averaging 15.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game for his career. Add in 1.7 steals and 0.7 blocks per game, and suddenly his PrizePicks prop of 27.5 fantasy points looks far too low.
While it’s clear that he’s not the same player he was when leading the Sixers, we still have Simmons projected for 31.54 fantasy points tonight, over four points greater than PrizePicks’ current number of 27.5. After fouling out in two out of Brooklyn’s first three games, expect Simmons’ fantasy point total to steadily rise as he plays more minutes and gets more acclimated to his new teammates.

Giannis Antetokounmpo O/U 13.0 Rebounds
Opposing Simmons on the other side of that game, Giannis is in a really good spot against the Nets, but his rebound prop looks too high. It’s always a risky proposition taking any sort of under with Giannis, but projected for almost two fewer rebounds than his current PrizePicks prop, the under is the correct side here.
In what sets up as potentially the game of the night, there’s a ton to like about Giannis in this spot, and we have him projected for almost seven more fantasy points than the next-highest player. While his fantasy points prop of 60.5 looks right in line with the 59.89 points we have him projected for, his rebound prop of 13 is simply too high and the under is the only play in this spot.
