After a weak 5-game slate last night, bettors have 9 games to attack tonight, with anticipation that games will be a lot closer with fewer blowouts projected. With that in mind, let’s dive into my best NBA player prop bets for tonight’s action on the hardwood. You can also check out our expert NBA picks for all of the big games on Wednesday, January 22.
Fred VanVleet (HOU) under 20.5 points+assists (-110)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing
Before his 5/13 performance from three-point range in his last game, Fred VanVleet struggled to surpass his points+assists line of 20.5 — mostly because he isn’t getting the volume. Over his last 10 games, he has 4 games where he’s taken fewer than 9 shots from the field. Amen Thompson continues to progress and is seeing his usage sky-rocket, while Jalen Green has three 30+ point games over his last 10 played. Even against a Cleveland Cavaliers defense missing Evan Mobley, fading VanVleet as arguably the 4th option behind Green, Alperen Sengun, and Thompson is one I’m willing to ride.

Keyonte George (UTA) under 16.5 points (-125)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing
Seeing a 17.5-point spread for Jazz vs Thunder sure caught my eye. The Utah Jazz fly into Oklahoma City to take on the 35-7 Thunder. There is some good news from the Jazz’s point of view — it looks like they’ll have Lauri Markkanen and John Collins returning to the lineup. Collins has been out since January 4 while Markkanen hasn’t played in over 10 days. Collin Sexton is also in line to play after missing the last game. With that in mind, we’re turning to Keyonte George under 16.5 points on DraftKings, as he is bound to see his usage diminish as a result. 15.5 is also playable, with the best prices coming via BetMGM and Caesars.
