Best NBA Prop Bets for Tuesday, January 21

Rui Hachimura Over 5.5 Rebounds (+112) at FanDuel

Hachimura showed more commitment to the glass in recent games, going over this line in three straight games and snagging seven boards in 33 minutes his last time on the court. He averaged 5.2 rebounds for the year and found his recent success even with Anthony Davis and LeBron James in the lineup.

The Los Angeles Lakers are taking on the Washington Wizards, who allowed the most rebounds per game and the most rebounds to opposing forwards per game. This is a favorable matchup for an ascending player, making it one of our favorite NBA prop picks for Tuesday.

Scottie Barnes Under 33.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists (-106) at FanDuel

Barnes, still only 23 years old, went under this line in eight of his last 11 games and shot just 25 percent from the floor en route to 10 points in his last game. He did a great job facilitating for his teammates in his last couple of outings, but he’s been inconsistent game-to-game across all three categories.

The Toronto Raptors are playing some of the worst basketball in the league and now have to take on a gritty Orlando Magic team. Although the Magic haven’t been great in 2025, they still ranked first in assists, fifth in points, and 17th in rebounds allowed per game during that time.

Josh Hart Over 22.5 Points+Rebounds (-102) at FanDuel

Hart, the relentless ball of energy who crashes the boards like a prime David Robinson, went over this line in 12 of his last 15 games. He also averaged 13.4 points and 12.5 rebounds in 2025 and played 39.8 minutes per game in January, his most of any month this season.

Although Hart still isn’t shooting the three ball well, he shot 50.5 percent from the floor in the New Year, enabling him to consistently go over this line. The Knicks are also facing the Brooklyn Nets, who ranked 26th in points allowed per game in January (though they were solid on the boards).

Paul George Over 4.5 Assists (-128) at FanDuel

With Joel Embiid and Kyle Lowry out of the lineup due to injuries, George should spend a solid amount of time with the ball in his hands. He averaged 35.9 minutes per game in January and went over in four straight games, which gives us the confidence to back him going into a matchup with the Denver Nuggets.

The Denver Nuggets allowed the most assists per game in the entire league and haven’t been great at home, uncharacteristically going just 12-8 in front of their fans. Even without their to get buckets, George has consistently gone over this line in recent weeks and is a solid bet to do the same on Tuesday.

Jimmy Butler Under 4.5 Rebounds (+116) at FanDuel

Butler only recently rejoined the Miami Heat after he was suspended for conduct detrimental to the team. He did not go over this line in either of his two games since returning despite playing his usual minutes load and did not go over in five straight games, which makes it even more ironic that he grabbed 19 rebounds the last time he went over.

The Heat are welcoming in the Portland Trail Blazers, who are sixth in rebounds allowed per game to opposing forwards despite being poor on the boards overall. Butler hasn’t shown much interest in intense play and is still disgruntled in Miami, so we wouldn’t count on anything that involves intense effort.
