NBA Player Props: Jan. 21, 2026

Here are my top player prop reads for January 21, 2026. I’ve picked a few overs and unders I like based on recent form, matchups and usage. Remember these are just opinions and lines can move, so treat them as a starting point, not gospel.

Top player props for Jan. 21, 2026

Evan Mobley — Under 17.5 points (Odds: 1.87). The Cavs travel to a tricky opponent and Mobley has been quiet scoring-wise lately. He hasn’t cleared this mark in recent games and seems to be taking a lighter offensive role, so I’d expect another subdued outing.

Jalen Brunson — Over 26.5 points (Odds: 1.87). After a rough team loss that sparked a players-only meeting, Brunson should step up. Facing a weaker defense, he’s the guy who will need to carry the scoring load, so I like his chances to get over this total.

Derrick White — Under 18.5 points (Odds: 1.87). White’s scoring has dipped and he’s struggled to reach this line in recent games. The matchup doesn’t scream a bounce-back, and his recent box scores suggest another off night is possible.

Jalen Johnson — Over 21.5 points (Odds: 1.87). With the Hawks reshuffling and Johnson taking on a bigger role, he’s been playing with confidence and producing. He scored big in the last matchup and looks primed to carry that momentum on the road.

Giannis Antetokounmpo — Under 29.5 points (Odds: 1.87). The Bucks draw a stout defensive team that often limits star scorers. Giannis has been taking fewer shots than usual in recent games, so I’m leaning toward him coming up short of this high total.
