NBA Player Props — Jan. 26, 2026
Here are my top NBA player prop picks for Jan. 26, 2026 — short, casual takes on whether each player will go over or under the posted point totals. Remember that lines can move, so treat these as analysis rather than guarantees.
Top player prop picks
Aaron Nesmith — Under 14.5 points (Odds: 1.87). The Pacers have had a rough year and Nesmith’s scoring role has dwindled. His shooting has been inconsistent this season (around the mid-30s in field-goal percentage), and he’s cleared this line only once in his last seven outings. I don’t see him getting a dramatically bigger role against the Hawks, so the under feels safer here.
Brandon Miller — Over 20.5 points (Odds: 1.97). The Hornets have picked up some momentum and Miller is clearly their go-to scorer. He’s been reliable recently and only missed this mark once in his last six games — that one game still saw him reach 20 with limited minutes. Facing a 76ers team that has had its struggles, he should have enough touches to push past 20.5.
Donovan Mitchell — Over 29.5 points (Odds: 1.97). The Cavaliers are rolling, and Mitchell has been the engine behind their hot stretch. He’s coming off back-to-back high-scoring games (33 and 36), and with the matchup repeating against a team he’s already handled well, I expect another big night from him.
Coby White — Over 20.5 points (Odds: 1.87). The Bulls are on a winning streak and White is playing with confidence, acting as their primary scoring option. He’s cleared this total in each of the last four games and plays heavy minutes. With the opposing defense having some issues lately, White should find ways to score and push past 20.5.
Alperen Sengun — Under 20.5 points (Odds: 1.87). The Rockets have been solid as a team, but Sengun’s role has been quieter recently — he’s missed this mark in three straight games and isn’t forcing a high volume of shots. Expect tough interior defense and matchup pressure (likely from a strong defender), so the under is the more likely outcome here.
