Welcome to today's NBA betting insights. We've compiled expert picks and analysis from 6 professional gamblers to help you make informed wagers on the games scheduled for January 10th. Here is a quick look at some of their picks:
Calling Our Shots
Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics) over 28.5 points plus rebounds.
Brown has a history of performing well against the Timberwolves.
Celtics may rest some players, which could increase Brown's usage.
Lauri Markkanen (Utah Jazz) over 21.5 points.
Markkanen has been averaging 23.5 points per game this season.
He has a good matchup against the Denver Nuggets, who allow catch-and-shoot threes.
Jabari Smith Jr. (Houston Rockets) over 13.5 points.
Smith has been getting increased minutes recently.
He's facing the Chicago Bulls, known for giving up catch-and-shoot threes, which suits Smith's game.
ZDM Bets
Over 253 in the Indiana vs. Washington game: Despite missing Haliburton, the Indiana Pacers are expected to play at a fast pace and shoot a lot of threes against the defensively weak Washington Wizards. The pick is to bet on a high-scoring game.
New Orleans Pelicans Money Line (-112) vs. Golden State Warriors: The pick is for the Pelicans to win outright against the Warriors due to matchup advantages and concerns about key Warriors players like Draymond Green.
Bears Profit Plays
NBA Game Pick:
Trey picked the Utah Jazz (+6.5) against the Denver Nuggets. He believes the Jazz have a good chance to cover the spread, possibly even winning the game.
NBA Game Pick:
The other host chose the Atlanta Hawks (money line, -120) against the Philadelphia 76ers. He thinks the Hawks will secure a win, especially with Joel Embiid potentially sidelined.
NBA Player Prop:
Trey suggested taking the over on Jaylen Duren's Player Rebound Shares (PRS) against the San Antonio Spurs. Duren has been performing well lately, and he's expected to have a strong game.
NBA Player Prop:
The other host recommended betting on Tyrese Maxi to exceed his total points in the game against the Atlanta Hawks. Maxi has been a reliable scorer and could have a big game, even in a losing effort.
Test The Limits
Devin Vassel under 3.5 assists: TTL believes that Devin Vassel is unlikely to record more than 3.5 assists in the game based on his recent performance, playing time, and the matchup against the Pistons, who tend to limit assists to shooting guards.
Chris Dunn under 8.5 rebounds and assists: TTL predicts that Chris Dunn will not surpass 8.5 combined rebounds and assists in the game. He supports this pick with Dunn's historical performance, particularly when he has played 15 minutes or more, and the matchup against the Nuggets, who are strong defensively in terms of rebounds and assists allowed.
Cash Keg
Tyler Hero - Over 3.5 three-pointers made for the full NBA game. The reasoning behind this pick is that Hero tends to perform well in games where Jimmy Butler is not playing, and he's going up against an opponent (OKC) that allows a high number of three-pointers.
Daniel Gafford - Over 9.5 points, rebounds, and assists for the first half. This pick is based on Gafford's ability to contribute to these stats and the matchup against the Indiana Pacers, who are ranked 29th in points allowed.
Steph Curry - Under 19.5 points, rebounds, and assists for the first half. The rationale here is that Curry has been struggling in recent games, especially in the first half, and the matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans, who have a strong defense, might limit his production.
Fantasy Aces
Bruce Brown: Over 18.5 points, rebounds, and assists.
CJ McCollum: Over 8.5 rebounds and assists.
Lauri Markkanen: Over 8.5 rebounds and assists.
Kyle Kuzma: Over 33.5 points.
Terry Rozier: Under 8.5 assists.
