Today’s Top NBA Player Props | Jan. 12
Kyrie Irving Prop O/U 3.5 3-Pointers
The Brooklyn Nets must find a way to adapt to life without Kevin Durant. With a road trip to the Boston Celtics on tap for tonight, the NBA Bet Pro model expects Kyrie Irving to step up. Irving has only averaged 3.1 3-pointers per game this year, but he should benefit from sluggish defensive play as the Celtics will play on the wrong end of a back-to-back set.
NBA Bet Pro projects Irving for 4.2 3-pointers tonight. That gives this bet an expected win percentage of 48%, far better than the 41.7% chance implied by the odds at FanDuel Sportsbook, making it the best play on the card. New users at FanDuel can even secure $150 in bonus bets following a $5 wager!
Best NBA Player Prop: Kyrie Irving Over 3.5 3-Pointers (+140) at FanDuel

Jimmy Butler Prop O/U 1.5 Steals
Few NBA teams have faced as many injury issues as the Miami Heat. Tonight’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks is no exception: the Heat won’t have Kyle Lowry or Tyler Herro. That means Jimmy Butler may need to play some extra minutes, and NBA Bet Pro likes his chances of swiping at least two balls.
Butler should rack up 2.5 steals tonight, per NBA Bet Pro. That gives this wager an expected win percentage of 62%, better than the 59.2% implied odds avaialble at DraftKings Sportsbook. Users who are new to DraftKings can earn $200 in bonus bets with a $5 wager! New users in Ohio can access the same deal via this link.
Best NBA Player Prop: Jimmy Butler Over 1.5 Steals (-145) at DraftKings
Christian Wood Prop O/U 8.5 Rebounds
The Dallas Mavericks brought Christian Wood in to work as their sixth man, but Wood has entered their starting lineup following injuries to Dorian Finney-Smith and Maxi Kleber — and poor play from Dwight Powell and JaVale McGee. Bettors should target his rebounding props against the Anthony Davis-less Los Angeles Lakers.
Wood has averaged 8.1 rebounds per game this year. That number ticks up to 8.5 since he entered the starting lineup on Dec. 17. Wood could play a massive role on the glass if Powell can’t play. The Lakers give up the seventh-most rebounds per game to their opponents, and NBA Bet Pro projects Wood for 10 rebounds, making this play at PointsBet one of 12 NBA player props with EV above 5% or better. Bettors curious about the other top plays — including two with double-digit EV — should try a one-week free trial of NBA Bet Pro!
