While there are only six games on the NBA slate, there’s still plenty of value in the Association. Just because the NFL Playoffs are on doesn’t mean you should neglect the NBA completely!
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.

Mikal Bridges played 34 minutes against the Clippers earlier this season. In that game, he added 10 points on 4-for-11 from the floor.
The Clippers rank 5th in points allowed to small forwards and Bridges has only added at 23 points fewer than 40% of games this season. He’s also only shooting 45% from the floor on the season. However, in January, he’s hit just 42% of shots. He’s trending downward and facing a tough Clippers defense.
Kawhi Leonard Under 24.5 Points
In the same game, I’m not a huge fan of Kawhi Leonard today. Leonard is second on the Clippers in scoring with 23.8 points per game. But he’d need 25 to cash in the Over on tonight’s prop. I don’t see it happening.
Leonard has only hit at least 25 points in four of his last ten games. He’s also hit this line in only 47% of games this season. Beyond that, he’s struggled to score this amount of points against the Nets dating back to last season. He only had 17 points against the Nets earlier this year to begin with.
In 37 minutes on Tuesday, Leonard only took ten shots in 37 minutes. He also got to the foul line once and finished with 16 points. That won’t cut it against a Nets squad that ranks 17th against small forwards in points allowed.
Tyrese Haliburton Under 21.5 Points
We’re sticking with the Under theme tonight. Tyrese Haliburton has a left hamstring injury that has him listed as questionable tonight. He returned in Friday’s game against Portland and played with Pascal Siakam. The Pacers lost to the Blazers in that game despite 35 minutes from Haliburton.
He finished with 21 points and shot just 42.9% from the field. However, he was able to add on many free throws. If Haliburton plays, I don’t think he’ll see 35 minutes. Even if he does, it’s unlikely he gets to the foul line as much as he did on Friday.
Jusuf Nurkic Under 11.5 Points
The Indiana Pacers rank 11th in the NBA in points allowed to centers. Meanwhile, Jusuf Nurkic has scored nine or fewer points in five games in January this year. He’s scored more than nine in only four matchups in the month.
Over the last two games, Nurkic has attempted no more than five field goal attempts. That’ll likely be his norm now that he’s in a lineup with Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, Devin Booker, and Grayson Allen.
