Best NBA prop picks January 9: Bet on Banchero to fill the bucket vs. Kings

The NBA has a relatively modest six-game slate on Monday.

Paolo Banchero and Jalen Brunson are going to play against the Kings. Jaylen Brown has an opportunity to make things happen on the glass.

Banchero is averaging 21.4 points per game. Sacramento's defence is weak overall and against small forwards. Bancheo's first appearance against the Kings on November 15 was successful. He scored 33 points and made 26 field-goal attempts. The Kings have allowed 123.3 points in their last six games.

Brunson is under the line by 106 points. Brunson has been hot lately, but he has produced 24-plus points in just 32.4% of his games this season. Milwaukee Bucks have the ninth-best scoring defence in the NBA.

Brown is getting plus money on his rebounding average (7.0) from 57.9% of his games this season. Chicago Bulls rank 21st in the NBA in rebounded percentage. Nikola Vucevic is the team's only starter who stands above 6-foot-7 and he's the only player on the Bulls' team above that height.
