But my best bet is on Brandon Miller, who I expect to shoot his way out of a small rough patch.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-8f1effd0-db18-40a8-916e-091372420d9e\">Check out the best NBA prop bets for Jan. 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-0a4ee124-09d4-4260-81c9-fd6fe232dbb3\">NBA prop bets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Go to full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.com\/sportsbook\/sports\/basketball\/competitions\/10240\">NBA betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best bet: Brandon <strong>Miller 20+ points <\/strong>(-110)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d like to see Miller break out of a mini-slump, and that should happen at some point based on his shot volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past five games, the second-year small forward has struggled to fill the net:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>17.2 PPG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>38.2 FG%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under 19.5 points in 4\/5 games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>But in that span, he&#8217;s still attempted 15.2 shots per game \u2014 including 9.8 attempts from 3-point range. When a guy shoots that much, a 20-point night is never out of reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Miller was a machine against that number just before this little skid. He had a 12-game stretch in which he cashed this bet every time, averaging 27.0 points on 21.8 FGA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, yes, the shot attempts are down a bit in his more recent games. But not to the point where he can&#8217;t hit this mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tonight, Miller and the Charlotte Hornets face the Utah Jazz. Utah allows the fifth-most points and the third-most attempted 3s in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Miller keeps firing, I like his chances of turning things around \u2014 especially in a plus matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Utah allows the fifth-most PPG to opposing small forwards (23.4), per Betting Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Banchero 25+ points (-112)<\/strong>: I wish I could ask Banchero what happened on Sunday. In a narrow win over the Philadelphia 76ers, he only attempted eight shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banchero finished with 20 points thanks to some efficient shooting (5-of-8 from the floor, 9-of-11 from the free throw line), but that only adds to my puzzlement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why not keep shooting when it&#8217;s going well?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third-year power forward was only in his second game back from an oblique injury, but that hadn&#8217;t slowed him down in this previous matchup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Against a solid Milwaukee Bucks defence, Banchero had 34 points on 11-of-21 shooting (in just 27 minutes) on Jan. 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banchero faces Milwaukee again tonight. Hopefully he starts to see a bit of a minutes uptick, but either way, I know he&#8217;s capable of cashing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Curry over 10.5 rebounds\/assists (-112)<\/strong>: At 6-foot-2 and 185 pounds, Curry isn&#8217;t someone you&#8217;d expect to pull down a bunch of rebounds. But he&#8217;s been crushing it on the glass lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>6+ rebounds in 6\/7 games since Dec. 28.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5.1 RPG on the year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t expect a huge rebounding total for Curry against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but that&#8217;s where his passing prowess comes in. Curry is averaging 6.1 assists this year, meaning he&#8217;s averaging 11.2 RA collectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 31 games, Curry has cashed this bet 20 times (64.5%). That includes two of three meetings against the T-Wolves last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Draymond Green, who&#8217;s second on the Warriors in both rebounds and assists, is questionable due to an illness and a back injury. If he&#8217;s out, that could mean more opportunities for Curry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 11:20 a.m. ET on 01\/15\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steph Curry and Paolo Banchero headline my NBA prop bets for Wednesday night.
