Adorantists
Unitarians who affirm the Lord Jesus is the proper recipient of prayer/worship.
1. From biblicalunitarian on Acts 1:24-25: Although some have contended that the Lord in the above verse is God, it is more logical that it refers to Jesus. He was the one who chose Judas, and he was addressed as “Lord” by all the apostles over and over in the New Testament. http://www.biblicalunitarian.com/articles/jesus-christ/can-we-pray-to-jesus-christt.
2. From The Christadelphian Tidings: In Acts 1:24-26, we read that the apostles prayed to the Lord to guide their choice of the apostle to replace Judas Iscariot. Who was the Lord to whom they prayed? In the New Testament the title Lord (Gk. kurios) is applied to God and to Jesus, depending on the context. Since Jesus chose all the other apostles (John 6:70), we can reasonably assume that he chose the apostle to replace Judas.

Non-Adorantists
Unitarians who deny the Lord Jesus is the proper recipient of prayer/worship.
1. The Way International affirms the following: Many professing Christians have been taught to “praise Jesus.” However, the Bible does not teach that Jesus Christ is to be praised or thanked or addressed in prayer. (Praising God Not Jesus)

2. The Jehovah's Witnesses affirm the following in The Watchtower: Should Christians pray to Jesus Christ? No. (Do You Remember?, June 15, 2015, page 32)
