2023-24 NBA Player Props, Breakdown, Odds, and Picks (Jan 8)
Pick rationale
Analysis & key factors
- We’ve got some NBA player props for you for Monday, January 8!
- Tyrese Haliburton to score over 23.5 points against Boston this evening.
- Miami’s Bam Adebayo needs to score a lot to break one of the NBA’s best defenses.
There are six games of the 2024 NBA on the program tonight, with a couple of those looking ideal for prop bets.
One of the games that fit the description is the Houston Rockets vs. Miami Heat, in which the hosts’ best scorer Bam Adebayo will have to work hard to outplay the NBA’s No. 2 defense. Another one is the Baston Celtics vs. Indiana Pacers game, which is a duel between two high-scoring teams, both of which are in great shape lately.

Prop Pick
Indiana is the NBA’s highest-scoring team with 126.3 points per game on average. Boston is fifth in the league with 120.9 PPG.
The last time these two met – two days ago – the Celtics won 118-101. It was the lowest-scoring performance for the Pacers this entire season. Will they do better this time?
We think they will, especially if their points leader Tyrese Haliburton does better. He’s averaging 24.2 points per game, but in the game with the Celtics, he scored just 17. Now, his points margin is set at 23.5, and we think he’s going to go over.

| Tyrese Haliburton Over 23.5 Points |
Rockets vs. Heat

Prop Pick
The Houston Rockets are the NBA’s second defense, allowing just 109.9 points per game. These guys play against the Miami Heat this evening, a team that is seventh from behind when it comes to scoring. The Heat is averaging 112.2 PPG this season.
Knowing this, it’s clear that Miami is in trouble unless some of its key men step up. One player who definitely has what it takes to lead the Heat to a win is Bam Adebayo. Miami’s center is averaging 22.0 points per game, and he will have to get near that number if he wants to beat the Rockets.

|---|---|
| Bam Adebayo 22+ Points |
