NBA Prop Bets & Picks: Thursday, Jan. 11
After a quick browse through the NBA slate tonight, here are the best prop bets we've found.
Chet Holmgren OVER 17.5 Points (-105)
You wouldn't think a slender fella named Chet would have much athletic success, but, boy, is the Thunders center ever a baller. Holmgren is making the ROTY race competitive, but he's also putting up points.
Tonight's prop has the points total at 17.5. Holmgren has hit the OVER on that in seven of his last 10 contests, putting this bet on solid ground.
Grayson Allen OVER 2.5 Assists (-138)
Allen has hit the OVER on this assists prop in 66% of contests this year and eight of his last 10 games. On top of that, Thursday's matchup pits the Suns against the Lakers, who allow 27.3 APG, putting them 23rd in the NBA.
Cameron Johnson OVER 2.5 Three Pointers Made (-125)
This is my favorite bet of the evening. Johnson has cashed the OVER 2.5 threes in 62% of games this year. He's been even better lately, hitting OVER 2.5 threes in eight of his last 10 contests. Cleveland is a stingy defense, but Johnson is locked in right now, which gives me a great deal of confidence in this wager.
