Best NBA Player Props for Tuesday, January 20th
Here are my top player prop bets for today, with tip-off scheduled for 7:00 PM ET on Tuesday, January 20th:
- Ivica Zubac To Record a Double-Double
- John Collins Over/Under 17.5 Points + Rebounds
- Pelle Larsson Over/Under 3.5 Assists
Ivica Zubac To Record a Double-Double (-180, bet365)
BET365According to CourtIQ, Zubac is averaging 14.7 points and 11.2 rebounds per 30 minutes this season with Kawhi Leonard off of the floor. He’s scored in double figures in each of his last 11 games without Leonard active. He hasn’t had fewer than 9 rebounds in any of those games either.
Tonight, Zubac gets to face a Chicago team that has allowed the 9th-most rebounds per game to the center position during their last 8 games. This is a great spot for him to extend his current streak of double-double performances.
John Collins OVER 17.5 Points + Rebounds (-125, BetMGM)
BETMGMCollins hasn’t been playing particularly well of late, but he could be counted on for more minutes tonight with the Clippers on the second leg of a road back-to-back. It’s also not completely out of the question that the team sits James Harden or Ivica Zubac after both guys logged heavy minutes on Monday.
Regardless, this is a good matchup for Collins against a team that has struggled to defend big men. Collins should also be due for some positive regression on the glass – he’s had 10+ rebound chances in 5 straight games with Leonard inactive. This play certainly carries some risk, but the upside is there.
Pelle Larsson OVER 3.5 Assists (+120, bet365)
BET365Larsson has cleared this number in 10 of his last 15 games with Tyler Herro unavailable. Tonight, Larsson gets to face a Sacramento team that has allowed the 7th-most assists per game to guards during their last 8 games. At plus money, this is good value for Larsson to continue making an impact as a facilitator.
