Jason Logan's NBA player props for January 9 is targeting Donovan Mitchell, Lauri Markkanen, and the returning Paolo Banchero.
Paolo Banchero has missed a ton of time due to injury and even with his minutes likely limited, we're backing an Over on one of his player props tonight. Additionally, we like Donovan Mitchell and Lauri Markkanen markets.We have eight great NBA games on the odds board tonight, which means a massive menu of betting options, includingand predictions for Thursday, January 9, including Orlando Magic star Paolo Banchero making an immediate difference on the glass in his return.
Mitchell’s forecasts range from 22.4 to as high as 26.3, with my number coming out just shy of 25 points for the Cavaliers superstar. That projection should have the Over 21.5 points priced as high as -165 but you can find it at -115 at bet365.His return couldn’t come at a better time for the Magic. The frontcourt has been decimated, with fellow forwards Franz and Moritz Wagner out, and guards Gary Harris and Jalen Suggs also sidelined.
While Banchero only played five games before getting hurt, he averaged almost nine rebounds in that span. His scoring and playmaking will need game reps to shake off the rust, but rebounding doesn’t require the same touch.forward shot 11-for-21 from the field, including eight makes from beyond the arc — a huge jump from his season average of around three triples a night. That effort has ballooned his scoring prop to 25.5 points O/U vs. the Miami Heat.
With my projection for Markkanen coming out to 21.5 points, the Under on 25.5 O/U should be priced north of -200. I’ll gladly grab Under 25.5 at -120 with this inflated total.Take advantage of the early win payout at bet365, where any pre-game NBA moneyline bet gets: Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
