The NBA will play 10 games tonight, not including a Suns-Knicks afternoon matchup, so bettors should start their research for tonight’s card early. Only one matchup will appear on national television: a late-slate game between the Hawks and Warriors. With so much action in store, even the sharpest bettors can let the best NBA player props slip through the cracks.
Enter Stokastic’s new NBA Bet Pro. Instead of manually sifting through each game to find value, bettors can now sort every prop market by expected ROI. NBA Bet Pro pulls lines from every major sportsbook to help you find the best deal available for that given play. If you’re not convinced, see how much money you make after a one-week free trial of the product.
Stokastic’s NBA Bet Pro model is all over these three NBA player props for Monday.

Today’s Top NBA Player Props | Jan. 2
Kevon Looney Prop O/U 2.5 Assists
The shorthanded Golden State Warriors will have to trust Kevon Looney in a larger role with Jonathan Kuminga, James Wiseman and JaMychal Green all sidelined. That should lead to more minutes for journeyman center Kevon Looney, who is already averaging 2.9 assists per game.
NBA Bet Pro has Looney racking up 3.7 assists tonight, well above his current NBA player prop total. This bet has an expected win rate of 59%, considerably better than the 52.4% chance implied by BetMGM’s odds. Only four bets on tonight’s card have double-digit EV, and bettors can identify the other three by signing up for a one-week free trial of NBA Bet Pro.
Best NBA Player Prop: Kevon Looney OVER 2.5 Assists (-110) at BetMGM

Gordon Hayward Prop O/U 1.5 3-Pointers
Although the Charlotte Hornets haven’t had the best season this year, their matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers owns the highest betting total on tonight’s slate. That’s good news for NBA player prop bettors who like to target the over. Although Gordon Hayward is averaging only 1.2 3-pointers per game this year, tonight’s matchup makes for a fantastic get-right spot.
The NBA Bet Pro projections have Hayward making 1.7 3-pointers tonight. That gives this bet an expected win rate of 44%, which, when compared to the 40.8% chance implied by the odds at DraftKings, makes for a solid play. Bettors yet to register at DraftKings should sign up quicky while the book is still offering $200 in bonus bets after the placement of a $5 moneyline wager!
Best NBA Player Prop: Gordon Hayward OVER 1.5 3-Pointers (+145) at DraftKings
Tyrese Haliburton Prop O/U 3.5 Rebounds
The Indiana Pacers have leaned on their star point guard, Tyrese Haliburton, this year. Haliburton has responded by posting career numbers. He is averaging 20.9 points, 10.2 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game this year. With his rebound prop total set to just 3.5, bettors can find some value on the over.
Haliburton should rack up 4.1 rebounds tonight against the Toronto Raptors, according to NBA Bet Pro. This bet has an expected win rate of 50%, better than the 46% chance implied by the odds over at FanDuel. NBA Bet Pro’s odds are exactly what other major sportsbooks like BetMGM and DraftKings are selling, so bettors can find a surprising amount of value over at FanDuel. New users can get a no-sweat first bet up to $1,000 for any NBA game!
Best NBA Player Prop: Tyrese Haliburton OVER 3.5 Rebounds (+116) at FanDuel
