NBA Player Props for Tuesday, January 21
- Scottie Barnes
- Mikal Bridges
- Nikola Jovic
Scottie Barnes Under 34.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-125)
Magic vs Raptors, 7:30 p.m. ET
We hit this when these two teams matched up a couple weeks back. I'm going back to it here. Immanuel Quickley is out for the Raptors tonight, but RJ Barrett is back.
Scottie Barnes gets a bump in assist rate with Quickley sidelined, but Barrett's presence trims his usage and rebounding rate.
This line seems to be near Barnes' ceiling with Toronto mostly healthy, and it does't account for the brutal matchup.
Orlando is 3rd in defensive rating and 2nd in points allowed per game. They've allowed the 2nd-fewest rebounds and the fewest assists per game.
The Magic are dead last in pace. It's one of the most difficult matchups in the league for across-the-board production.
Barrett leads the team in usage, so Barnes might not get up 19 shots like he did last time these teams matched up. We could get burned by assists with Quickley out, but his absence is priced into the line.
If Barnes racks up double-digit dimes against the best team in the league at limiting assists, I'll tip my cap.
Pick: Scottie Barnes Under 34.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-125)
