NBA Player Props: Jan. 22, 2026

Daily player prop picks

Here are our top player prop ideas for Jan. 22, 2026 — quick, casual takes on who might go over or under the listed point totals. Odds can move, so treat these as a starting point and check your preferred sportsbook before placing anything.

LaMelo Ball — Under 16.5 points (Odds: 1.97)
Charlotte is on the second night of a back-to-back and draws a tough defensive matchup in Orlando. LaMelo had a brutally inefficient night the game before and hasn’t cleared this total in his last few outings. Expect limited energy and a stingy defense to make it hard for him to hit the over.

Kyshawn George — Over 15.5 points (Odds: 1.87)
Washington has been struggling and dealing with injuries, which could open up scoring chances for George. He’s been in strong form recently and has hit this number in most of his recent games, including a big scoring night against Denver. Momentum and matchup both point toward another solid scoring outing.

Amen Thompson — Under 17.5 points (Odds: 1.87)
Houston faces a stout Philadelphia defense, and Thompson’s value this season has leaned more toward defense and hustle than high-volume scoring. He isn’t a consistent three-point threat and often struggles with efficiency, so the under looks reasonable in this matchup.

Naji Marshall — Over 16.5 points (Odds: 1.97)
Despite recent injuries around the Mavericks, Marshall has stepped up and become a key offensive option. He’s been productive in his minutes and has only missed this mark once in his last five games. Expect him to carry that role against Golden State and push past the line.

Coby White — Over 17.5 points (Odds: 1.87)
Chicago takes on Minnesota on the road, and White is the Bulls’ primary scoring initiator. He can create shots in a variety of ways and has the green light to shoulder a big chunk of the offense — a scenario that usually leads to him clearing this total.
