Best NBA Prop Bets for Tuesday, January 7

Kyle Kuzma Under 18.5 Points (-113) at FanDuel

Kuzma dropped a season-high 28 points against the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday, but we’re not going to overreact to what has proven to be an outlier performance against one of the worst defenses in the NBA. He still went under this line in three of four games since he returned to action on Dec. 30.

Kuzma shot just 26.9 percent from three for the season and isn’t taking many threes at all. He is also yet to play more than 31 minutes since his return and is going up against a Houston Rockets team that allowed the third-fewest points per game.

Dejounte Murray Under 18.5 Points (-122) at FanDuel

Murray is widely respected across the league, but he’s having his worst season in many years. After scoring at least 20 points per game for the last three seasons, he averaged just 15.4 per night on a pitiful 36.5 percent from the floor and 24.7 percent from beyond the arc.

The former San Antonio Spur and Atlanta Hawk went under this line in nine straight games, including two games against the league-worst defense of the Washington Wizards. Now, he gets to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves, who allowed the fifth-fewest points per game in the league.

Klay Thompson Under 2.5 Assists (-111) at FanDuel

Thompson is having himself a solid year in his first season in Dallas, averaging 14.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 38.5 percent three-point shooting. However, he now has to take on a new role with both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving injured and out of the lineup.

Thompson recorded exactly three assists in two games since his star teammates went down with injuries, but he went under this line in five of his last eight. He’s also facing a Los Angeles Lakers team that has gotten much better on defense, partially because of the addition of Dorian Finney-Smith, and that ranked third in assists allowed per game over its last three games (since Finney-Smith joined the roster).

Stephen Curry Under 25.5 Points (-122) at FanDuel

The Baby-Faced Assassin is only averaging 22.5 points in 31.1 minutes per game, making this his lowest scoring season since his third year in the league. He still has explosive outings, but he went under this line in exactly five out of his last 10. 

Curry and the Golden State Warriors are facing the Miami Heat, who rank eighth in points allowed per game and eighth in points allowed to point guards per game (23.9). Curry has been very up and down and only went over by a half-point in his last game despite shooting 66.7 percent from the field, so we expect him to come down a bit tonight.

Mark Williams Over 21.5 Points+Rebounds (-113) at FanDuel

Williams can quietly be one of the most efficient players in the league. He went over this line in four of his last five games and averaged 14.5 points and 9.0 rebounds in two games to start January.

Williams and the Charlotte Hornets are preparing to take on the Phoenix Suns, who are on the second night of a back-to-back and who rank 25th in points allowed to opposing centers per game. The Suns also aren’t playing either one of their centers, Mason Plumlee and Jusuf Nurkic, heavy minutes, which will leave more space for the towering figure to clean the glass.
