NBA Player Props: Jan. 20, 2026

Top player prop picks

Tyrese Maxey — Over 29.5 points (Odds: 1.87). With Joel Embiid resting on a back-to-back, Maxey will likely shoulder a bigger offensive load. If Paul George is also unavailable or limited, Maxey should see more shot attempts and playmaking responsibility, which makes the over look realistic given his recent consistency.

James Harden — Over 30.5 points (Odds: 1.97). The Clippers are missing Kawhi Leonard for this one, and Harden has been the go-to scorer in recent outings, topping 30 points a couple of times. Facing a Bulls defense that hasn’t been imposing, expect Harden to push the pace and take plenty of shots.

Alperen Sengun — Under 20.5 points (Odds: 1.87). The Rockets face a tough matchup with Victor Wembanyama on the opposing roster. Sengun has been a bit uneven lately, and Wembanyama’s length and defensive instincts could limit Sengun’s scoring chances, so the under seems like a solid play.

Anthony Edwards — Over 29.5 points (Odds: 1.87). After a huge 55-point game and being left off the All-Star starters, Edwards should be extra motivated. The Timberwolves need scoring, and Edwards is the primary option — expect him to keep attacking and clear this line.

Jamal Murray — Over 26.5 points (Odds: 1.87). With Nikola Jokic sidelined, Murray has stepped up and been one of the Nuggets’ most consistent contributors. Against a strong opponent like the Lakers, Denver will need Murray to carry the offense, which makes this over a reasonable expectation.
