JutPicks
The NBA Pickswise team is on fire! We have hit 12 out of our last 15 NBA prop picks and I’m looking to continue that run with action on Saturday. With multiple teams on back-to-backs, I’m going to be cautious with my approach and stick to 1 play for the slate.
Let’s dive into my best NBA player prop bet for games on Saturday, January 13. Also make sure you also read our NBA predictions for today’s games.
Jalen Brunson, PG, NYK, Over 27.5 points (-111)
Line available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
I am praying that the Memphis Grizzlies can keep this game close. This will be their second game in 2 nights and Desmond Bane failed to return to Friday night’s contest after sustaining an injury. Memphis is already without Ja Morant and Marcus Smart, so the frontcourt is thin.
Jalen Brunson should have his way against the Grizzlies. Kyrie Irving scored 33 points earlier in the week, while the big 3 of the L.A. Clippers combined for 70 points on Friday — which included Paul George going for 37.
NBA bettors are no stranger to backing Brunson this season. He iss averaging 25.8 points across 35 minutes per game, ranking him top 15 in the league. Head coach Tom Thibodeau is known to ride Brunson late into games, even with a blowout on the horizon. Blowouts have been a major issue in the NBA lately, so be cautious.
