We have a great night of hoops action ahead of us, with seven games on the NBA schedule, which means a wealth of value can be found in the NBA player prop markets.
My favorites today include a Nets sharpshooter letting it fly against the Knicks, and Chet Holmgren will be a bully on the board vs. the Bucks.
Those and more NBA picks for Wednesday, Jan. 21 below.

Prop #1: Sam Hauser Over 4.5 rebounds
The Boston Celtics will look to get back in the win column when they host the Indiana Pacers.
One big edge Boston will have is on the glass. The Cs are a Top 10 team when it comes to rebounding rate, while the Pacers own the third-lowest rebounding rate and surrender the third-most opponent rebounds per game.
The best Celtic to back in this spot is Sam Hauser. The Boston forward has been putting in more work on the boards lately, hauling down 5.4 per contest over his five last five games, topping 4.5 rebounds four times during that stretch.

Prop #2: Egor Demin Over 2.5 threes
The Brooklyn Nets will have to let it fly if they want to keep things close with the New York Knicks tonight. Luckily, the Knicks will be happy to oblige, because their perimeter defense stinks.
The Knicks allow opponents to shoot the fifth-most 3-pointers per game while giving up the fourth-highest 3-point shooting percentage (37.5%).
The Nets may have something in Egor Demin. The rookie out of BYU is averaging 10.4 points per game while shooting nearly 40% from deep. That’s up to a crazy 52.2% over his last seven games, where he’s hit three or more threes five times.

Prop #3: Chet Holmgren Over 9.5 rebounds
How bad are you at rebounding if you have Giannis Antetokounmpo on your roster and still rank next to last in rebounding rate?
Well, ask the Milwaukee Bucks, who take on the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight. To make matters worse, Myles Turner also enters this game banged up. That means Chet Holmgren will be putting in work cleaning the glass tonight.
The OKC big man is averaging 10.1 rebounds per game over his last 13 games, grabbing double-digit boards eight times during that stretch. He does it again tonight.
