Tom Oldfield breaks down his favorite NBA player props for January 5th, including a bet on Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler to dominate the boards.
A six-game NBA slate means plenty of NBA player props to choose from. Find out why Tom Oldfield is backing Utah's Walker Kessler to put in work on the glass, and Sacramento's DeMar DeRozan to go off vs. Golden State.The potential NBA Finals clash between the Boston Celtics and Oklahoma City Thunder this afternoon will draw the most eyeballs, but don’t sleep on the rest of the Sunday schedule, with some elite performers on show.
I’ve selected my three favorite NBA player props for the January 5 action, with a wager on one of the craftiest scorers in the game among mybuzz has cooled off a little after his eye-catching rookie season, but he’s looked every inch a starting center this year for the. His minutes are way up compared to last year, his assist numbers have almost doubled, and, most importantly, his rebounding stats rank inside the Top 10 in the NBA. It’s Kessler’s work on the glass — 11.1 rpg — that’s got my attention here. He gobbled up 16 boards in the Jazz’s win over the Miami Heat last night, and he’s gone past this 10.5 O/U line in five of his last six games. That bodes well for tonight’s battle with a physical Orlando Magic team which enters short on offensive talent. Even on the second night of a back-to-back set, I see Kessler anchoring the Utah defense while keeping Goga Bitadze and Wendell Carter Jr. at bay.

With an eye on the future, Utah is giving Kessler every chance to expand his skill set as a starter, and I’m counting on another impressive stat line here.are 7-3 in their last 10 games, but it’s their most recent wins — after swapping D’Angelo Russell forWith his hustle and passable 3-point shooting, Finney-Smith is an easy fit for any rotation, and I expect his role to steadily increase on the road to the playoffs. Even with his current minutes in the mid-20s, there’s a lot to like about his prop
