The rule
When a player doesn't record any playing time, his pick is voided. It comes out of your entry and the rest of the lineup is graded as the next smaller lineup, at that lineup's payout. Nothing else changes: the other picks still have to hit.
What a void turns your lineup into
| Your entry | Voids | Becomes |
|---|---|---|
| 6-pick Power (37.5x) | 1 | 5-pick Power (20x) |
| 4-pick Power (10x) | 2 | 2-pick Power (3x) |
| 5-pick Flex (10x) | 1 | 4-pick Flex (4/4 6x, 3/4 1.5x) |
| 3-pick Flex (3x) | 1 | 2-pick Power (3x) |
| 2-pick Power (3x) | 1 | Refunded |
Two things to notice. A Flex that drops below 3 live picks plays as a Power, since Flex starts at 3. And with fewer than 2 live picks there's no lineup left, so PrizePicks refunds the entry. The payout calculator shows any lineup with any number of voids.
Pushes
A player who lands exactly on a whole-number line, say 5 receptions on a 5.0, hasn't gone over or under. It's a push, and it grades like a void: out of the entry, lineup down a size. Half-point lines (5.5) can't push.
Injuries during the game
If you took More on a player who leaves early hurt and doesn't come back, PrizePicks' Reboot policy can void his pick for eligible sports rather than grade it as a miss. The sports and the exact rules differ, so check that sport's rules in the app before you count on it.
Same-team refunds
PrizePicks also refunds an entry when voids leave every remaining pick on the same team, since a lineup has to span more than one team.
Season-long picks
Season-long props (a player's total yards or goals for the season) work the same way on a bigger clock: if the player is done for the year before the season ends, PrizePicks voids the pick and the entry pays as the smaller lineup. SZN Lab's bet tracker reads the injury report and marks those picks voided automatically, then shows the new payout. You can override it either way.
Avoiding voids in the first place
Most voids come from players who were questionable before the game. On every SZN Lab NFL, NBA and NHL prop card, the With / Without filter lists the teammates on the injury report with their status, and shows how the player's numbers change when one of them is out. See this week's NFL props or tonight's NBA props.
How PrizePicks grades DNPs, pushes and injuries can change and can differ by sport and state. PrizePicks' rules in the app are the final word.
