PrizePicks NBA Player Props | Jan. 15
Royce O’Neale Over 5.0 Rebounds
Kevin Durant being out for the foreseeable future is going to open up some frontcourt minutes for O’Neale. He is already averaging 35 a game, but he has spent a decent amount of that time at shooting guard while Durant, T.J. Warren and Ben Simmons handle the forward spots. With no Durant, O’Neale will defend bigs a little more often, which in turn is going to give him a few more rebounding opportunities.
The PrizePicks NBA Player Props Tool is projecting O’Neale for nearly 37 minutes today, the highest projection on the Nets, while Simmons, Warren and Yuta Watanabe (the other forward options) all project for less than 30. As such, Stokastic has O’Neale grabbing 6.1 rebounds for a 73% win expectancy on the over.

Kawhi Leonard Over 1.5 3-Pointers
The Clippers are a mess of injuries, and for once Leonard is not a part of that. Paul George and Luke Kennard are out, and John Wall and Marcus Morris Sr. are doubtful. That is most of Los Angeles’ outside shooting unlikely to suit up tonight.
Needless to say, assuming he doesn’t get a minutes restriction, this should be a heavy-usage day for Leonard. Stokastic projects him for 37.1 minutes against the lowly Rockets, which would be his third most in a game all season. And while Leonard has only made multiple 3’s in six of 20 games this season, he has not had many games with this level of projected heliocentricity. The PrizePicks NBA Player Props Tool expected 2.29 3’s from Leonard tonight, with the over on 1.5 getting a 67% expected win rate.
