Seven games on the pro hoops schedule mean NBA player props galore to bet today, and I’ve found my three favorites.
They include a long shot for a Raptors rookie and a Kings player capitalizing on the Knicks' porous perimeter defense.
Find out why in my NBA picks for Wednesday, January 14.
Best NBA player props today
| Player | Pick |  |

 Collin Murray-Boyles |
Double-Double | +350 |

Over 6.5 assists | +110 |
 Malik Monk |
Over 2.5 threes | +145 |
Prop #1: Collin Murray-Boyles Double-Double
The Toronto Raptors may have something in rookie Collin Murray-Boyles, and we might have something in a CMB longshot player prop.
Murray-Boyles has earned an uptick in minutes and has been inserted into the starting lineup thanks to a combination of improved play and Toronto injuries.
CMB is averaging 9.1 points and 8.8 rebounds per game over his last eight games, but taking the Over on 10.5 points or 7.5 rebounds is boring.
Let’s bet him to record a double-double at +350 against an Indiana Pacers team that ranks 19th in defensive rating and next-to-last in rebounding rate.

Prop #2: Tre Jones Over 6.5 assists
We keeping it buck right now... the Utah Jazz are ass. They rank dead last in so many defensive categories it’s hard to know where to begin.
In this matchup against the Chicago Bulls, I’m betting playmaking point guard Tre Jones will be dishing out the dimes.
Since Jones was reinserted in the starting lineup seven games ago, he's averaged 7.6 assists per game. Oh, and the Jazz rank — you guessed it — dead last in the NBA in opponent assists per possession.

Prop #3: Malik Monk Over 2.5 threes
The New York Knicks allow opponents to shoot the sixth-highest 3-point shooting percentage, resulting in the third-most made threes per game.
So, containing a shooter like Malik Monk will be a problem.
Monk is finding his shooting rhythm after missing a handful of games. He's 9-for-13 from beyond the arc in his last two games and has drained a ridiculous 42.3% of his long balls this season.
