Michael Porter Jr. and Lauri Markkanen have both been on extended scoring tears, and the defensive profiles they’re facing only strengthen the case for each to continue that production.

Wednesday NBA Prop Parlay - January 14th
Leg 1: Michael Porter Jr. 21+ Points
Michael Porter Jr. needs just 21 points against the Pelicans, a number he’s cleared in eight of his past ten games while averaging 25.3 points per contest over that span. His scoring efficiency has been remarkably stable, and Brooklyn continues to rely on him as a primary offensive option, particularly in half-court sets and spot-up situations.
This matchup amplifies that upside, as New Orleans allows the second-most points in the league to opposing small forwards, routinely struggling to contain shooters on the wing. Porter already proved this is a favorable spot earlier this season, torching the Pelicans for 35 points with room to spare. At this reduced alt line, we’re buying in well below his recent production level in a matchup that aligns perfectly with his strengths.

Leg 2: Lauri Markkanen 22+ Points
Lauri Markkanen’s 22-point alt line feels even more conservative given his current form. Markkanen has gone over this number in ten straight games and is averaging an elite 28.8 points per game during that stretch, cementing himself as Utah’s clear offensive engine.
Chicago presents a defense that has consistently bled scoring to power forwards, allowing the fifth-most points to the position, and they lack the size and mobility needed to slow Markkanen’s perimeter-to-post versatility. This is a matchup he’s already dominated once this season, erupting for 47 points against his former team. With his volume, efficiency, and matchup all aligning, this alt line leaves significant margin for error.
