Without further ado, let’s take a look at some of our best bets!
NBA Player Prop Bets
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander o5.5 assists (-128)
PrizePicks: O/U 5.5 assists
Per EdgHouse, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has eclipsed this number in 7-of-9 games played since January 7. In that stretch of action, one of his two misses came against a Dallas Mavericks roster that is allowing the fewest opponent assists per game in January. His other miss came against the Nuggets, who rank 13th in opponent assists per game this month. In his last nine games, Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 12.7 potential assists per game, which leads the Oklahoma City Thunder roster. On Monday, he has an extremely favorable matchup against a Chicago Bulls team that ranks 27th in opponent assists per game over their last 12 contests.
Evan Mobley u8.5 rebounds (-115)
PrizePicks: O/U 8.5 rebounds
Per EdgHouse, Evan Mobley has only hit this number in 16-of-39 games played this season, and only twice since January 4. The market seems to be dramatically overreacting to his 17 rebound performance in his most recent game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Mobley is only averaging 14.8 rebound chances per game across his last 10 contests. Even the absence of Lauri Markkanen is unlikely to result in enough opportunities to make this a playable number tonight. Mobley is collecting only 52.7 percent of his rebounding chances since January 4. Tonight, he plays a New York Knicks team that leads the NBA in rebounding percentage during the month of January. Take the under here.
Darius Garland u2.5 three-pointers made (+120)
PrizePicks: N/A
Darius Garland has been sensational this season, and will likely be selected to the All-Star game for the first time in his young career. Still, this is an opportunity for bettors to fade him at plus-money while the market is hot on him. Across their last 11 games, the New York Knicks rank 8th in the league in opponent three-point percentage. In that same span, New York is allowing only 109.6 points per 100 possessions, and playing at the slowest pace in the NBA. Garland has only gone over this number in 20-of-41 games played this season, and he has fallen under this number in 7-of-8 games played since January 9. Take the under once again in this spot.
Jarrett Allen u26.5 points + rebounds + assists (-120)
PrizePicks: O/U 26.5 points + rebounds + assists
Since January 9, Jarrett Allen has only eclipsed this number in 4-of-8 games played. In one of those games, he only managed to get to 27 points + rebounds + assists. Tonight, Allen has a tough matchup against a strong rebounding team in the New York Knicks. A slow pace and big bodies inside are likely to limit his scoring opportunities as well. The under makes sense this evening for the star big man.
