Top props for NBA players today for January 26: Sharpe Shooter
A winter wonderland on Sunday means we can bet on basketball all day. So, I analyzed the odds and found my three favorite NBA player props.
They include a Hawks big man flying across the boards against the Pacers and a Trail Blazers sharpshooter lighting up the Celtics.

Prop no. 1: Onyeka Okongwu Over 8.5 rebounds
+110 at bet365
This is a pretty simple bet: the Indiana Pacers are one of the worst rebounding teams in the NBA, so we’ll fade them on the glass in tonight’s game against the Atlanta Hawks.
Hawks big man Onyeka Okongwu is averaging 7.9 rebounds per game this season, but that has increased to 8.9 in his last 14 games. Now they face an Indiana team that has the third-worst rebounding rate and is giving up the third-most rebounds per game.
Okongwu topped 8.5 boards eight times in this 14-game stretch, making the extra money on the Over too good to pass up.

Where to look: FDSN Indiana, FDSN SE-ATL
Prop no. 2: Matas Buzelis Over 2.5 assists
+150 at bet365
The Los Angeles Lakers’ defense will ultimately be their undoing, but it’s also something we can fade over night.
The Lakers rank 25th in both defensive rating and opponent assists per possession, while the Chicago Bulls are among the best teams in the NBA at passing the rock.
This leads me to target Matas Buzelis. She averages 2.0 assists per game, but has averaged 4.0 in her last five games, dishing out three or more dimes in all five.
Where to look: Spectrum SportsNet, CHSN
Prop no. 3: Shaedon Sharpe Over 2.5 threes
+135 at bet365
The Portland Trail Blazers are playing great basketball. Their 9-3 record in January is the second-best in the NBA, and Shaedon Sharpe played a big role in that.
Announcement
Sharpe has averaged 22 points per game this month and has been on fire, shooting 40.6% in his last four games.
Tonight he will face the Boston Celtics, who allow the sixth most 3-pointers made per game. Sharpe has hit three or more in three of his last four, so it’s a great bet to go for the Over at this price.
