We’ve got six games on the NBA slate today, starting with an early afternoon clash between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Cleveland Cavaliers, where I’ll be looking for Rudy Gobert to dominate on the glass.
My NBA picks for Saturday, January 10 also like Nikola Vucevic and Pascal Siakam to pile up the points.

Prop #1: Rudy Gobert Over 11.5 rebounds
Rudy Gobert has been one of the NBA’s premier rebounders for a decade and this season is no different, with his 11.3 boards per game ranking third in the league.
Gobert has snagged Over 11.5 rebounds in four straight games and 11 of his last 14 contests, and the Minnesota Timberwolves center is poised to have another big day on the boards against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cavs are the favorites this afternoon but they haven’t been great at cleaning the glass. Cleveland ranks 20th in the NBA in opponent rebounds per game (44.9) and Gobert just snagged 13 boards vs. the Cavaliers on Thursday.

Prop #2: Pascal Siakam Over 26.5 points
Things seem to keep getting worse for the Indiana Pacers, who have just one win in their last 14 games and could be without both Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) and Andrew Nembhard (back) tonight.
That leaves Pascal Siakam to essentially run the offense on his own — something he’s certainly familiar with.
Spicy P has scored 30+ points in two of his last three contests, and he’ll need a similar effort tonight to keep it competitive against the Miami Heat.
Miami is one of the league’s best offensive teams, but they do tend to give a lot of points back. The Heat are 21st in opponent points per game (117.4), and Siakam just scored 33 vs. Miami in their last meeting on December 27.

Prop #3: Nikola Vucevic Over 1.5 threes made
The Chicago Bulls have dropped three straight games, but Nikola Vucevic has been on a heater in the New Year, averaging 20 ppg while shooting 50% from 3-point range.
The Bulls center has dropped Over 1.5 threes in six of his last seven games, and while the Dallas Mavericks are one of the better teams at defending the three-point line, Vucevic should manage at least a couple of treys tonight.
The Mavs will be shorthanded with both Anthony Davis (hand) and P.J. Washington (ankle) ruled out. Without those two key defenders, Vucevic should have extra room to operate and do his thing from long range.
