After attempting just 2.7 threes per game last year, he&#8217;s now <em>making<\/em> 3.0 threes per game (on 6.9 attempts).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall this season, Gillespie is 29-18 vs. this prop. More notably, he&#8217;s 7-1 in his past eight games with a 51.9 3PT%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bet on the Suns&#8217; sharpshooter in a plus matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Cleveland has allowed the third-highest opponent 3PT% in the NBA (37.4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"product_only\"><a href=\"cacheembed:123028\">Embed: #123028<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best NBA picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Queta 20+ points\/rebounds (-130):<\/strong> Queta is averaging 8.0 points and 10.0 rebounds this season, so he often falls just short of this mark. But the matchup tonight is quite compelling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sacramento Kings, who Queta will face, have the third-worst defensive rating in the NBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also allow the most points and the third-most rebounds to opposing centres, according to Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\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>Domantas Sabonis has been back for seven games after a two-month injury absence, and it seems like he&#8217;s close to returning to full strength. But the Kings just played last night, and there&#8217;s no guarantee Sabonis will suit up on zero rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, Sabonis hasn&#8217;t played both ends of a back-to-back since Nov. 11-12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Queta is 6-6 vs. this prop in his past 12 games, and a plus matchup should put him over the edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA player prop predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Demin over 16.5 points\/rebounds\/assists (<b>-134)<\/b><\/strong>: The Nets gutted out a narrow loss at altitude last night in Denver, but Demin \u2014 who rarely plays back-to-backs \u2014 was in street clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He should be back in action tonight as Brooklyn&#8217;s most rested player for a matchup in Utah.<\/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>With that in mind, I like Demin&#8217;s chances of chipping in at this rather modest PRA total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his past 12 games, the rookie out of BYU is 12-6 vs. this prop while averaging 13.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jazz are an ideal matchup, given that they allow the most points overall, as well as the second-most points and assists to opposing point guards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-84329f2b-7888-4034-9979-03e8608897e5\"><em>NBA prop picks made at 9:50 a.m. ET on Jan. 30, 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>If you want some star-powered NBA prop picks &#8230; these might not be for you.
