Best NBA Prop Picks: Lock In This Expert's Best NBA Prop Bets for Wednesday
After a weak 1-2 day yesterday, we're back for some revenge tonight.
With a ten-game slate, we're going big. I've added five player props to the betting portfolio. Check out the bets below!
January 17 Best NBA Player Props
Jalen Duren Over 13.5 Points (-128) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
In January, Jalen Duren has attempted more than ten shots per game. He's also shooting 71.1% from the field in the month and hasn't had a single game shooting below 57% from the field in the month.
Duran is coming off an 8-for-8 performance against the Wizards, adding 20 points and 19 rebounds. He won't dominate like this against the Timberwolves.
However, Minnesota is still 17th in the NBA in points against centers defensively. Duren has hit at least 14 points in six of his last seven games.
Christian Wood Over 7.5 Points (-104) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Christian Wood has a low point total after playing just 14 minutes against the Thunder in a 112-105 win.
There will be games where he doesn't earn a ton of minutes. But he's still averaging about 20 minutes a game.
In those 14 minutes against the Thunder, Wood still took seven shots and added four field goals. He also got to the foul line once and nailed a three-pointer.
In six games in January, Wood has averaged 12.2 points per game. He's also hit this line in six straight games.
Jordan Clarkson Over 18.5 Points (-115) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
The Golden State Warriors are the worst team in the NBA at defending shooting guards regarding points.
Clarkson has only averaged 17.9 points per game this season. However, he's hit at least 19 points in six of his last ten and four of his last five. He's also had previous success against the Warriors, with this number dating back to last year.
Clarkson averages over 20 points per game with the Jazz in the month. He's also had six games with at least 20 points and has attempted more than 15 shots per game in the month.
Take his Over.
Khris Middleton Under 16.5 Points (-122) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Don't get too excited over Khris Middleton. In his last time out, Middleton played 33 minutes and shot 10-for-13 from the floor against the Warriors. But in the game prior, he shot 2-for-9 against the Celtics and played only 20 minutes.
He's too inconsistent and is now facing a difficult Cleveland defense.
Middleton has always struggled to put up big numbers against the Cavaliers, even dating back to last year. He's also hit this line of 17 or more points in only 38% of games and averaged 16.3 points in January.
Take that Under.
CJ McCollum Over 3.5 Assists (-170) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
CJ McCollum has averaged 5.1 assists per game. Even at -170, taking a 3.5 number makes sense.
He's nailed this line in 81% of games this season and has hit at least four assists in 75% of his last 20 games. He's even achieved at least four assists in eight of his last ten games.
Now he's taking on a Charlotte Hornets team that is typically bad defensively and below average against point guards regarding assists allowed.
