January 16 Best NBA Player Props
Nikola Jokic Over 25.5 Points (-113) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Nikola Jokic leads the Nuggets in points per game with 25.5 points. He's shot a field goal percentage of 58.2% and is leading Joel Embiid in the MVP race because he's not injured.
That said, he's added at least 26 points in 60% of games this season. He's also added 26 points in six of his last ten games.
I know he's only averaged 22.7 points per game this month. But this is a big one for Jokic going up against Embiid. It will be a fun matchup, and both centers will probably dominate the box score.
I'm on his Over.
Kevin Durant Over 1.5 Threes (-210) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Durant has only played in four games in January. But in his last three, he's nailed at least two threes while taking at least five attempts.
Durant averages 29 points per game and has added more than two threes per game this season. He won't take a lot of reps, but he gets open looks and drains them consistently.
The Kings are 25th in the NBA in defending the three against power forwards. Durant has also nailed at least two threes in seven of his last 20 games. He's super consistent, so I'm okay with taking this line at -210.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 5.5 Assists (-136) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
With all that Jokic-Embiid MVP talk, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander wants to join the chat.
He's scored 31.3 points per game but also has 6.3 assists with 5.8 rebounds per game this season.
Gilgeous-Alexander has a legitimate chance at winning the MVP Award this year.
He's added at least six assists in 66% of games this season. He's also hit this line in 70% of his last 20 games. Shai is currently on a streak of two consecutive games with at least six assists and has averaged 6.4 assists per game in January.
That's almost a full assist, more than his projected lineup. Grab that Over.
