Best NBA Player Props for Tuesday, January 13th
Here are my top player prop bets for today, with tip-off scheduled for 7:30 PM ET on Tuesday, January 13th:
- Devin Booker Over/Under 26.5 Points
- Kevin Durant Over/Under 25.5 Points
- Stephen Curry Over/Under 28.5 Points
Devin Booker UNDER 26.5 Points (-125, FanDuel)
FANDUELMiami hasn’t been great defensively this year, but they don’t allow a tremendous amount of volume in the middle range, which is where Booker does a lot of his damage. This season, only 5 players are attempting more mid-range field goals per game than Booker.
There are also Booker’s home-and-away splits to consider. He’s averaging only 24.7 points per game on the road so far this year, shooting 2.1% worse from the field and 1.7% worse from 3-point territory outside of Phoenix. The math shows a slight edge on the under.
Kevin Durant UNDER 25.5 Points (-112, DraftKings)
DRAFTKINGSDurant is averaging 28.7 points per game this month, but most of that output came with Alperen Sengun out of the lineup. On Sunday, Durant scored only 23 points against the Kings with Sengun back on the floor.
On Tuesday, Houston hosts Chicago. Durant has scored 24 points or fewer in 6 of his last 8 home games with Sengun active and has gone under this number in 5 of 7 home wins. Even if this game ends up more competitive that the market is projecting, there is reason to think Durant could have a quieter night on the offensive end of the floor.
Stephen Curry UNDER 28.5 Points (-123, DraftKings)
DRAFTKINGSCurry is averaging 28.8 points per game this season and has been playing good basketball of late, but this isn’t a particularly great matchup for him on Tuesday. The Trail Blazers have allowed the 3rd-fewest above-the-break 3-point attempts this season and rank 9th in opponent field goal% on such attempts. Curry could have a tough time getting going from the perimeter this evening, which could make it difficult for him to get to 29 points.
