On Monday night, there are 3 playoff games on the schedule. Of the 8 playoff series, the home team won all 8 Game 1 matchups. Will a road team break through on Monday night? Here’s a look at the schedule for April 22, 2024:

  • Orlando Magic at Cleveland Cavaliers — 7 p.m. ET on NBATV (CLE leads 1-0)
  • Philadelphia 76ers at New York Knicks — 7:30 p.m. ET on TNT (NYK leads 1-0)
  • Los Angeles Lakers at Denver Nuggets — 10 p.m. ET on TNT (DEN leads 1-0)

That late game between the Lakers and Nuggets should be of note to PrizePicks users. New and existing players can take advantage of a great free square involving Denver star Nikola Jokic.

All the Joker has to do tonight is score 1 or more points and you will win that pick as part of your contest!

My Picks For NBA Playoffs, April 22, 2024

Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets — More than 0.5 points

This is the no-brainer of all no-brainers. Jokic is the likely MVP for the 2023-24 season and has been absolutely dominant the last 2 postseasons. He just posted 32 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists in a Game 1 victory over the Lakers. Even if Los Angeles comes up with a better plan to stop him in Game 2 (unlikely), he’s still a lock to have at least 1 point. Take advantage of this free square and don’t look back!

Donovan Mitchell, Cleveland Cavaliers — More than 26.5 points

The Cavaliers and the Orlando Magic have had 2 of the better defenses in the NBA this season. Game 1 of the series, which the Cavaliers won, featured a final score of 97-83. Still, even in that rock fight of a game, Mitchell scored 30 points. In Game 2 tonight in Cleveland, he should find plenty of space to shoot. Look for him to have a similar scoring output to the one he had on Saturday afternoon and score around 30 or so points.

Jalen Brunson, New York Knicks — More than 11.5 rebounds+assists

The Knicks claimed Game 1 at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, but it wasn’t easy. The 76ers managed to limit Brunson to 22 points, which is well below his season average. I expect the Sixers to have another game plan that focuses on limiting Brunson in Game 2. But when Brunson isn’t scoring, he’s still finding ways to impact the game positively. He had 14 rebounds+assists (7 boards, 7 dimes) in Game 1. I like him to have 12+ rebounds+assists in tonight’s game.

How Many Picks Should You Make?

With PrizePicks, you can craft contests with between 2-6 picks. The maximum multiplier on a contest is 25x, which means you’d win 25 times your entry fee if all 6 of your picks are correct.

I usually prefer to stay in the 3-4 picks range. This is the 3-pick contest I put together involving the Jokic free square. As you can see below, it’ll pay out $25 on a $5 entry fee if all of the picks I detailed above are correct:
