The NFL season is winding down, but it’s okay for us as bettors. We have over half the NBA season remaining. The best part about the NBA is the player props. The league is predicated on individual efforts, making props fun to wager.
Here are the top NBA player prop picks for Friday, January 21st 2022.
Derrick White Under 17.5 Points
The Brooklyn Nets will travel to San Antonio to face the Spurs tonight. This game should be a blowout as the Nets are a much better team. Derrick White is the one player on the Spurs who will need to perform tonight. I doubt he has a chance of hitting his scoring total.
White has been averaging 14.5 points per game this season. His total is adjusted up to 17.5 because he will need to match Brooklyn’s scoring. I believe White will have another dud of a performance/ He has gone over this total once in his past five games.
Miles Bridges Under 20.5 Points
Thunder vs. Hornets Predictions
The Charlotte Hornets are having a great season thanks to players like Miles Bridges. Bridges steps up in big-game situations. The one thing Bridges has struggled with this season is beating up on bad teams.
His minutes go down when the Hornets can give him a rest. This does not help his scoring cause. Additionally, Bridges seems to fade when he plays bad teams compared to his other performances.
Bridges is averaging 20 points per game, but I think he will be around 17 tonight.

Nikola Jokic Over 26 Points
Grizzlies vs. Nuggets Predictions
Nikola Jokic is a bad man. That is all you can say about the Nuggets, big man. He is one of the most dynamic players in the game, especially for his size. Jokic is coming off a 49 point performance against the Clippers.
This is the only game in his past five he has gone over this total. However, he will need another big performance against the Grizzlies to win. Memphis is 31-16 on the season, compared to the Nuggets at 23-20.
Mo Bamba Over 7.5 Rebounds
Mo Bamba is in a tough situation because he plays for a very bad team. However, the Magic big man is poised for a huge night. The Lakers love to slow down the tempo. This will give Bamba a lot of chances to camp under the rim and grab the boards.
Bamba is one of the most promising stars. If he were in a good situation, he would be shining. Bamba is averaging 8.3 boards per game, so I would definitely tail this prop.
Jaylen Brown Over 23.5 Points
Trail Blazers vs. Celtics Predictions
The reason the Celtics are thriving is because Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum learned to mesh. Boston still needs to improve their winning, and I think this will come. However, for bettors, it’s easier with props.
Brown and Tatum are both having big nights consistently. The Celtics will host the Trail Blazers tonight. This is a game Boston should win. Brown is averaging 24.1 PPG, and this is an excellent contest for him to go over his total.
