NBA

We’ve got two interesting NBA player props for you for Tuesday, January 23, 2024!
We predict that Nikola Jokic will hold a scoring masterclass tonight.
Anthony Davis to score more than Kawhi Leonard is a prop bet we like.

Nikola Jokic scored 42 points against the NBA’s worst defense; can he do something similar against the league’s second-worst defense? And what about the “Battle of Los Angeles” – who’s going to score more, the Lakers’ Anthony Davis or the Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard?

Those are the questions we’ll try to answer in this post, sharing our top NBA player props along the way. So, keep on reading!

Nuggets vs. Pacers

How to Watch

When: Tuesday, January 23, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. ET
Where: Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, Indiana
Channel: NBA League

Prop Pick

The Indiana Pacers are the NBA’s highest-scoring team, but they’re also second from behind when it comes to defense. These guys are conceding 123.1 points per game on average.

This is great news for Denver’s points leader Nikola Jokic who’s looking to up his numbers. His season average is 26.1 PPG, but he’d love to increase that number. The center has been in a scoring mood lately, scoring 42 in his last game.

It happened against the Washington Wizards, who are the NBA’s worst defense. That’s why we expect to see him do something similar against the league’s second-worst defense.

Nikola Jokic 37+ Points

Lakers vs. Clippers

How to Watch

When: Tuesday, January 23, 2024, at 10:00 p.m. ET
Where: Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles, California
Channel: TNT

Prop Pick

You may think that the Nikola Jokic prop bet is too risky with the odds of +317, which is why we’ve got one much safer bet for you. Our prop pick for the Battle of LA is that the Lakers’ points leader Anthony Davis will do better than the Clippers’ highest scorer Kawhi Leonard.

Davis has been playing really great since the start of the year, even though he had some problems with his ankle. Now, he’s 100% fit and we expect him to do really great.

We also think that the Lakers are good enough defensively to stop the Clippers from scoring too much. Davis, LeBron, and others should be able to keep Leonard to a relatively low number of points. In the previous Lakers vs. Clippers duel, he scored 15 points, while Davis put away seven more. We think something similar will happen tonight as well.
