NBA Player Props Today – Thursday, January 30, 2025
- Evan Mobley Over/Under 17.5 Points
- Jalen Green Over/Under 4.5 Rebounds
- Julius Randle Over/Under 4.5 Assists
Evan Mobley OVER 17.5 Points (-110, DraftKings)
Entering play, Mobley has scored 18+ points in 13 of his last 21 games. Since the beginning of December, he’s averaging 18.3 points per game as the team’s clear 3rd offensive option alongside Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland. Tonight, he gets a favorable matchup against the Hawks, who have allowed the most shot attempts per game in the restricted area during January. Mobley leads the Cavaliers in shot attempts per game in the restricted area this season, making him well positioned to have a strong performance.
Jalen Green UNDER 4.5 Rebounds (-140, bet365)
Green burned us on Tuesday when we targeted this same prop, but the long-term data still supports the under here. The emergence of Amen Thompson has led to fewer opportunities on the glass for Green, which has hurt his overall rebounding numbers of late. In the 15 games that Thompson has played in since December 23rd, Green has posted 4 rebounds or fewer in 11 of those games. This continues to be a tall number for Green.
Julius Randle OVER 4.5 Assists (-132, FanDuel)
Donte DiVincenzo remains sidelined, which should mean plenty of opportunities for Randle to continue piling up assists. This season, Randle has 6+ assists in 4 of 6 games with DiVincenzo unavailable. Since DiVincenzo last played on January 15th, Randle is tied for the team lead with 5.7 assists and 8.9 potential assists per game. He gets a good matchup against a Utah team that ranks 25th in defensive rating across their last 8 games, giving this play good value.
