Meanwhile, thanks to four straight losses, the Timberwolves have sunk into play-in territory as the current No. 7 seed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re not even at the trade deadline yet, so again, it&#8217;s too early to make a big deal out of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjcxODg0JnA9MzEwMjU%3D\">Bet on tonight&#8217;s NBA slate now<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I think both squads will throw their best punch on Saturday, and that should include Curry taking on a huge role in the Warriors&#8217; offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Curry has gone under this points prop in five of his past six games. But in each of the unders, Golden State either won or lost by 13+ points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In Golden State&#8217;s lone matchup vs. Minnesota earlier this season, a seven-point loss for the Warriors, Curry did his part with 39 points on 14-of-28 shooting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Warriors are +6.5 road underdogs tonight, so the game should be reasonably close.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Even at 37, Curry has sky-high scoring potential on a nightly basis because of his 3-point shot volume. He&#8217;s shooting 39.2% from deep, leading the NBA in makes (4.6) and attempts (11.6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Timberwolves don&#8217;t typically give up much on the perimeter, allowing the fourth-fewest attempted 3s per game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Curry is going to get his shots up, as his history against the T-wolves indicates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Curry has 30+ points and 11+ attempted 3s in each of his past four full games against the Timberwolves (excluding his injury-shortened playoff matchup last year, when he had 13 points in 13 minutes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"product_only\"><a href=\"cacheembed:122945\">Embed: #122945<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best NBA picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Black over 15.5 points (+100):<\/strong> Though Black can be a streaky shooter, it feels like a no-brainer to bet the over on this number given his elevated opportunity these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Black joined the Orlando Magic&#8217;s starting lineup for good on Dec. 9 and has averaged 18.7 points in 19 games since.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The third-year point guard is 13-6 vs. this prop in that span. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjcxODg0JnA9MzEwMjU%3D\">At NorthStar Bets: Wager on NBA props, futures &amp; more<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Black has attempted 10+ shots in every game since Dec. 9, with a typical volume of 13-16 (and as high as 24). He&#8217;s not shy about shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tonight, he&#8217;ll face a Cleveland Cavaliers team that is nothing special on defence (14th in defensive rating). Against all but the most daunting defensive matchups, I&#8217;m backing him on this line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA player prop predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Giddey 25+ points\/assists (<b>+114)<\/b><\/strong>: Giddey returned from an 11-game absence on Thursday and, despite coming off the bench, provided an immediate jolt to the Bulls&#8217; lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fifth-year player had 21 points and five assists in 26 minutes, shooting at a 7-for-13 clip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He might not be back to his typical low-30s minute total tonight, but he should continue moving in that direction. And the closer he is to that workload, the more I&#8217;ll be bullish on this number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">See tonight&#8217;s NBA moneyline odds, spreads &amp; game totals<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Giddey is averaging career-high marks this season in points (19.3) and assists (8.9). That equates to 28.2 PA. He is 19-12 vs. this prop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given how well his return to action went, Giddey doesn&#8217;t seem far from being at full strength. There&#8217;s tons of value in this line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-84329f2b-7888-4034-9979-03e8608897e5\"><em>NBA prop picks made at 10:20 a.m. ET on Jan. 24, 2026.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Sign up to NorthStar Bets today<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Josh Giddey is back and Steph Curry is ready to cook, and both players have my attention for Saturday&#8217;s prop bets.
