Gilgeous-Alexander&#8217;s PRA line is set at 43.5 at Underdog, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsline.com\/nba\/game-forecast\/NBA_20260121_OKC@MIL\/prop-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the model projects him to blow past that with a 48.6 PRA projection<\/a>. SGA is averaging 42.3 PRA per game this year, but he&#8217;s cleared this line in three of his last six games.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nba\/players\/2203517\/jalen-brunson\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jalen Brunson<\/a> vs. Nets: Over 32.5 points + assists, at Pick6<\/p>\n<p>New York&#8217;s star guard returned to the lineup on Monday after a two-game absence and had 28 points + assists. The model thinks he&#8217;ll have a better night in his second game back against a Nets team that&#8217;s among the worst in the game. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsline.com\/nba\/game-forecast\/NBA_20260121_BKN@NY\/prop-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The model projects Brunson for 33.2 points + assists against Brooklyn<\/a>, and he&#8217;s averaging 34.2 points + assists per game this season.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nba\/players\/3177949\/cade-cunningham\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cade Cunningham<\/a> vs. Pelicans: Under 25.5 points, at Sleeper<\/p>\n<p>The Pistons have jumped out to the best record in the Eastern Conference and the second-best record in the NBA this year, and the play of Cunningham has been a big reason why. The young guard is 15th in the NBA with 25.7 points per game, leading Detroit in scoring. The model doesn&#8217;t expect him to clear this 25.5 points line at Sleeper, however, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsline.com\/nba\/game-forecast\/NBA_20260121_DET@NO\/prop-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">a projection of 24.3 points<\/a> for Wednesday night.<\/p>\n<p>Responsible gaming<\/p>\n<p>All daily fantasy sports players should practice responsible gaming whenever making DFS picks, and it&#8217;s important that players know and understand the different responsible gaming tools available to them on DFS apps and sites.
