NBA Player Props: Jan. 18, 2026

Player props to watch

Ja Morant — Under 19.5 points (Odds: 1.87). Morant is set to play for Memphis in London, but his season has been up-and-down and there’s chatter about a possible trade. Coming off injury, he’s unlikely to see heavy minutes right away, and he’ll be up against a strong Orlando defense. Expect a cautious return rather than a big scoring night.

Noah Clowney — Over 14.5 points (Odds: 1.87). With Brooklyn missing one of its usual scoring options, Clowney has stepped up recently and taken on more offensive responsibility. He’s been contributing on both ends and should get more looks in this matchup, so pushing past this line is a realistic possibility.

Amen Thompson — Under 18.5 points (Odds: 1.87). The Rockets are heavy favorites and healthy, which tends to limit Thompson’s offensive opportunities. He’s a key defender and only chips in offensively when needed — in a full-strength lineup he usually doesn’t get a high volume of shots, so this line looks a touch steep.

Russell Westbrook — Over 14.5 points (Odds: 1.87). Westbrook has been finding his rhythm during a recent hot stretch, and he’s coming off a 26-point game. Sacramento’s momentum and his renewed confidence suggest he’s likely to clear this mark again.

Brandon Ingram — Under 24.5 points (Odds: 1.87). Ingram has been inconsistent lately and has passed this total only once in his last five games. His offensive role has cooled a bit and he hasn’t been taking as many shots, so expecting a sub-25 performance feels reasonable.
