Best NBA Prop Bets for Wednesday, February 5

Lauri Markkanen Under 19.5 Points (-111) at FanDuel

Markkanen has taken a step back as a scorer this year, dropping from 25.6 points per game two years ago to 23.2 last year to now 19.3. He scored 16 points in his last game, went under in six straight outings, and shot worse than 40 percent from the floor in 2025.

The Utah Jazz are taking on the Golden State Warriors, who recently welcomed the injured Draymond Green back into their rotation. Markkanen only scored 13 points in his lone matchup with the Warriors this season, while Golden State forced the last power forward they faced, Paolo Banchero, to go 9-24 from the floor for 18 points.

Tyus Jones Under 9.5 Points (-122) at FanDuel

Jones is not much of a scorer, having just scored zero points in an overtime game against the Portland Trail Blazers and gone under in four straight games. He averaged 11 points per game, but his only playing 17 minutes his last time out could be an indication that he’s losing his spot in the rotation.

Jones and the Phoenix Suns are about to go to war with an Oklahoma City Thunder squad that allowed the fewest points per game and that has an endless supply of airtight perimeter defenders. Jones scored seven points on 25 percent shooting in his previous matchup with the Thunder.

Vasilije Micic Under 5.5 Assists (-156) at FanDuel

Without LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller available for action, Micic and Miles Bridges have been the primary decision-makers in Charlotte. The former dropped five assists last games but went under this line in 14 of his last 15 games, and he only played 15 minutes on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets.

The Milwaukee Bucks rank 10th in assists allowed per game, and Micic did not record an assist (in only eight minutes of game time) in his only previous matchup with the Bucks. If he couldn’t get over in extended minutes against the Washington Wizards, we have a hard time believing he’ll get there in this matchup.

Rudy Gobert Over 24.5 Points+Rebounds (-104) at FanDuel

Gobert went through a period where he played fewer minutes than the NBA world was accustomed to, but that’s a distant memory now that he played 40 minutes in regulation on Monday. He also went over this line in three straight and in five of his last six games.

The Chicago Bulls allowed the second-most points and rebounds per game and are 14th in rebounds and 27th in points allowed per game to opposing centers. Gobert also put up 21 points and nine rebounds when these teams squared off in Minnesota on Nov. 7.

Jeremy Sochan Over 8.5 Points (-113) at FanDuel

Sochan’s spot in the San Antonio Spurs’ rotation could soon come into question following the addition of De’Aaron Fox, but for now, he’s fresh off scoring 14 points in only 21 minutes against the Memphis Grizzlies. He also scored 20 points on 57 percent shooting in the Spurs’ only previous game against the Atlanta Hawks.

Atlanta improved its defensive play in recent weeks, though it still ranks 28th of 30 teams in points allowed per game. The team is also down Jalen Johnson and Clint Capela, which greatly reduces their defensive versatility and interior presence.
