There’s plenty of NBA to get excited about with today’s slate. We have games starting at noon and a tripleheader of games on ABC beginning at 3:00 pm ET.
I’ve added multiple PrizePicks squares for the NBA below. Let’s add some profit over the weekend!
Like every PrizePicks article, we’ll give our four-player props that you can use for a four-leg entry Power Play. A tw0-leg entry Power Play will give you implied odds of -137 for each prop. A three-leg Entry Power Play will give you implied odds of -141.A four-leg entry Power Play will give you implied odds of -128 for each bet.
Getting -128 on the same prop is better than getting -137 or -141. So, moving forward, we’ll stick to four-leg entries.
Remember that a Flex play can still win if one pick misses, but you’d get lower payouts.

Isaiah Stewart has played in five games in January. In those five games, he’s averaged 14.8 points on 11.2 shots per game.
On Wednesday, Stewart played 34 minutes against the Hornets and nailed 4-for-8 from the field. He went just 1-for-2 from three and made only two of four from the foul line. Despite the low volume, Stewart got more than 10.5 points, finishing with 11.
Today, Cade Cunningham is probable to return from a long hiatus. But don’t get scared off of Stewart. Maybe Jaden Ivey will see a downgrade, but not Stewart, especially with him taking nine or fewer shots over the last three games. Stewart has hit this line in 58% of games this season. Having a passer like Cade could only help.
Victor Wembanyama Over 21.5 Points
I’ve got to rock with the hot hand. Victor Wembanyama has averaged 24.5 points in January. He’s also hit at least 22 points in seven consecutive games, including a 33-point game against the 76ers.
Wembanyama hasn’t always been this consistent. He’s only scored 22 points in 44% of games. However, over the last 20 games, Wembanyama has scored 22 or more points in 55% of matchups. He’s really starting to come on strong as we approach the All-Star break.
He’s now hit at least 22 points in nine of ten games and has attempted more than 17 shots per game with more than five threes per matchup. The rookie has also added more than six foul shot attempts per game in the month and has nailed more than 84% of those shots. Grab his Over against the Timberwolves. I don’t care who he’s facing. Wembanyama is locked in.
Jonas Valanciunas Over 11.5 Points
Jonas Valanciunas only played 20 minutes in his last matchup against the Thunder. It was a blowout loss. Yet, Valanciunas wasn’t the problem. He added 14 points in 20 minutes and shot 6-for-12 from the field with two foul shots.
He’s added at least ten field goal attempts in three straight games and has only seen fewer than 20 minutes in one game in January this year.
The Bucks rank 26th in points allowed to centers. Meanwhile, Valanciunas has added at least 12 points in 67% of games. He’s also hit this line in 70% of his last 20 matchups. He’s been consistent, and it’ll stay that way against the Bucks tonight.
CJ McCollum Over 17,5 Points
Let’s stay in the game game.
The Bucks are even worse at defending point guards, allowing the most points to point guards this season. McCollum has already had success against the Bucks dating back to last season. He’s also coming off a 4-for-15 performance against the Thunder in 35 minutes, scoring just 12 points.
McCollum has those types of games mixed in. This month, he’s had many instances of poor performance and then great performance.
Earlier this month, he scored 16 points and then scored 24. He’s also added 12 points and then scored 30 afterward. In another instance, he scored 13 points and then returned to score 33 the next game.
Against the worst defense versus point guards, I’ve got a good feeling he’ll be going off again tonight.
