Sunday's Best NBA Player Props
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Jalen Duren 2+ Assists (-117)
We kick things off with a low total that offers a very solid return. A threshold of two on either assists or rebounds is a remarkable spot to pounce if the opportunity presents itself, and that's exactly what we plan on doing for this selection. Jalen Duren is obviously more of a threat on the glass. However, the young center has been able to reach this total quite frequently when facing an opponent in the Pacific Division.
Duren is sporting a season average of 1.8 assists throughout the 2025-2026 campaign, and has met the requirement of two assists in 21 out of 36 games played. The center for the Pistons has finished with two assists or more in five out of six previous contests played on the road. Duren dished-out four when these two teams met last on December 23.
The center for Detroit recorded at least two assists in the last 13 games played against the Pacific Division. Duren has also finished with at least two assists or more in nine out of the last 10 games when facing a Pacific Division opponent on the road. The 22-year-old put up two assists or in the last four out of five games against the Western Conference.
Kawhi Leonard 24+ Points (-123)
Kawhi Leonard is completely dominating through the month of January, and this contest against the Nets appears to be another chance to rack up points. Leonard is currently questionable with an illness, as well as due to ankle discomfort. We expect Leonard to suit up for this game. Having said that, make sure to check back on the BettingPros App for all of your up-to-date injury information.
The veteran forward has scored 24 points or more in seven consecutive games played, while shooting over 49.6% from the field. Leonard reached 24 points or more in four consecutive road games, including 26 against Brooklyn earlier in the month on January 9.
The forward for Los Angeles scored at least 24 points in the four out of the previous five road games against an Eastern Conference opponent. Leonard is putting up 26.8 points through those contests, while making over 51% of attempted field goals.
Cedric Coward 2+ Three-Pointers (-101)
This will be the first of three selections that focus on three-point baskets for the slate.
Eason has absolutely dominated the 4.5 Cedric Coward should see a small increase in shot opportunities with Ja Morant set to be out until the trade deadline (February 5). Coward matches up with a Nuggets squad that hasn't been able to stop opponents from beyond-the-arc, and we plan on exploring that in this contest.
Denver ranks in the bottom half of the league in regards to three-pointers allowed, giving up over 13 deep ball per game. Coward's usage rate increases by two percent (22%) compared to when Ja Morant is on the floor (20%) . Coward takes an extra 0.7 attempts from beyond the arc as well without Morant in uniform.
The young forward is knocking down 2.1 baskets from above the perimeter this month, while having hit at least two three-point shots or more in four out of five games played. Coward has made two or more baskets of the three-point variety in six consecutive contests when Memphis is playing at home as a favorite.
Harrison Barnes 2+ Three-Pointers (+102)
Harrison Barnes is recording 1.8 baskets from beyond the arc on the season. Obviously this creates a very small window of success at first glance. Having said that, it's the success against the divisional opponent and the home-court-advantage that instills confidence in this selection. Barnes sank three three-point baskets or more in the last five games played against an opponent in the Southwest Division.
Keep in mind, we only need two for this selection. If you're feeling froggish, by all means, pinch a quarter unit on 3+. Barnes is averaging 3.1 three-point makes over the previous 10 games played against the Southwest Division. The forward for the Spurs is connecting on 50.8% of attempts over the last 10 games when facing an opponent from the Southwest Division.
Barnes averages over two three-pointers when playing at home this season. The forward for San Antonio also connects on 2.1 three-pointers when facing an opponent from the Western Conference. Barnes finished with four baskets from above the perimeter when the Spurs and Pelicans met last on December 8.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 2+Three-Pointers (-106)
We close out the day with an odd line for a defending MVP who averages over 30 point per game. Having said that, it's the success rate on three-point makes that somewhat leaves desire. Gilgeous-Alexander has finished with two or more three-pointers in 25 out of 46 games played. Still over 50% on the season, which is why this selection is worth it, especially when you consider the -106 return.
The veteran guard faces a Toronto team that has allowed 65 three-pointers over the last five games. Opponents facing the rapports have hit at least 13 three-pointers in four out of five contests. Gilgeous-Alexander has made at least two baskets from beyond the arc in two out of four contests, and in three-of-five games against the Eastern Conference.
The guard for OKC connected on at least two baskets from beyond the perimeter in eight out of 12 games when facing an opponent from the Eastern Conference. Given Toronto's propensity to allow three-pointers over the last five games, and the success against the Eastern Conference, we feel Shai finishes with at least two three-pointers in this contest.
Enjoy the games throughout the day, and best of luck with your picks.
