Welcome to our Sleeper NBA DFS prop picks for Wednesday, January 24. Every week of NBA basketball gets better and better. Last week it was close games and high-scoring performances. This week it’s higher-scoring performances and even more late-game dramatics. It might be nice to be a 76ers fan, a Thunder fan, or maybe even a Miami Heat fan, but nothing beats how Joel Embiid, Jalen Williams, and Terry Rozier are feeling right this very second. The week continues with eight games on Wednesday.
Sleeper offers some of the best and easiest-to-win NBA DFS games in the industry. Sleeper DFS works just like regular player prop betting -- there are no large-field tournaments to get lost in. You're not playing against other people; you're just playing against the projections. Here are some of our favorite NBA prop picks for Wednesday’s eight-game slate.
Announcement: We have two awesome new Props Optimizers for the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and NCAA! The PrizePicks Optimizer and Prop Bets Optimizer are both available in our new Props Premium Package, which includes exclusive access to RotoBaller's VIP Discord chat rooms for props and betting.
NBA DFS Props - Over/Under Picks for Wednesday, January 24
Jarrett Allen OVER 0.5 Double Doubles
Going with any center to have a double-double on a win-streaking team is a fairly safe bet. In this case, Jarrett Allen’s active props are sitting at 14.5 points and 11.5 rebounds while the Cavaliers are boasting a league-leading defense over the last month. Allen has been anchoring that defense and while his rebounds are usually his weak spot, he’s double-doubled every game since December 23.
This isn’t one of the more favorable bets because of its likeliness to hit, but simply hitting is exactly what we are going for. These teams play again Friday and the last two meetings between these teams ended in fairly productive nights for Allen. With Milwaukee going through a coaching change and their frontcourt already needing some assistance, this might be the chance to parlay an Allen double-double with a Cavs ML. (+328)
Jalen Duren OVER 0.5 Double Doubles
In almost the complete opposite situation of Jarrett Allen, we have Jalen Duren and the league-worst Detroit Pistons. If betting on a center on a winning team to double-double is a safe bet, then what can we say about a center on literally the league’s worst team? Luckily, Jalen Duren is a curious case where he’s a dominant force regardless of who shares the court. He will get close to a double-double naturally and playing the Hornets does nothing but give him a massive boost.
It’s not often the Pistons face opponents they can beat and in those situations, you have to roll with one of the few players that will actually do something. The new additions to Detroit’s roster tweak the function of the offense and are going to pull away from Duren’s spontaneous assist production, but there’s not much any adjustments can do about his ability to roam the paint and accumulate points and rebounds with ease. A two-leg parlay for both Duren and Allen to double-double currently sits at +150.
Rudy Gobert OVER 0.5 Double Doubles
This article is writing itself. Every time Sleeper gets pulled up, another extremely attainable double-double bet is staring me in the face. The cases have been made for polar opposite centers in rival situations and explaining why Rudy Gobert is likely to have a decent game is nothing but repetitive. His rebound totals are abnormally high based on principle and his involvement in the offense has to increase from last game’s embarrassing effort. Any increase fires up a Gobert points over, but no reason to chase that dream here.
If all we need is 10 points and 10 rebounds, these are the three players to do it. Allen is playing into his team's hot streak, Duren just has to play his game against an easy matchup, and Gobert just needs to be on the court. Not to mention, the Timberwolves' last game versus the Hornets should act as inspiration for a more balanced team effort on Wednesday. All three picks combine for a 3-leg, +246 parlay in case you are wondering.
