NBA Player Props Today – Monday, January 27, 2025
- Goga Bitadze Over/Under 8.5 Rebounds
- Bogdan Bogdanovic Over/Under 13.5 Points
- Julius Randle Over/Under 4.5 Assists
Goga Bitadze UNDER 8.5 Rebounds (-130, DraftKings)
Bitadze has started to see his role diminish within the Orlando rotation, playing only 12 minutes in the team’s most recent game against the 76ers. After averaging 11.0 rebounds in 29.1 minutes per game in December, Bitadze is averaging only 7.1 rebounds and 24.1 minutes per game so far in January.
Across his last 4 games, Bitadze has 14 rebound chances or fewer 3 times, with as few as 6 rebound chances against Philadelphia as part of that sample. The Magic are getting healthier, which is pushing Bitadze to more of a reserve role for this group. Assuming a competitive game script on Monday, the math favors the under.
Bogdan Bogdanovic UNDER 13.5 Points (-112, FanDuel)
Trae Young and Jalen Johnson have both been ruled out tonight, which opens up a lot of usage for other players on the Hawks. That being said, this line is likely too far of an adjustment for Bogdanovic.
This season, Bogdanovic has scored more than 11 points in only 1 of 6 games with Johnson inactive and has scored 7 points or fewer in both games that Young has been unavailable. Notably, Bogdanovic hasn’t played more than 28 minutes in any of those games.
Bogdanovic would likely need to be unusually efficient from the floor to threaten to go over this number. He will probably shoot the ball 10+ times, but he enters play shooting only 37.1% from the floor and 30.1% from 3-point territory in 24 games this season. There is value on the under.
Julius Randle OVER 4.5 Assists (-130, FanDuel)
Donte DiVincenzo remains out for the Timberwolves this evening, which could be a good thing for Randle. This season, Randle is averaging 4.7 assists per 36 minutes with DiVincenzo off of the floor. Randle has 6+ assists in 4 of the 5 games he’s played in which DiVincenzo has been unavailable, and he is averaging a team-high 6.4 assists and 9.2 potential assists since DiVincenzo last played on January 15. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Randle continue posting gaudy assists numbers facing a shorthanded Atlanta team missing multiple starters.
