Best NBA Bets Today (Tuesday, Jan. 20)

Devin Booker under 1.5 made threes (-107) at Philadelphia 76ers

DraftKings, 4:34 PM CT

Alex Barutha: Booker hasn't been a prolific three-point shooter, making 1.4 triples per game in January on 4.9 attempts. Almost all of his attempts from distance over the past 10 games have come from above the break (42 of 44). That's an area of the floor that the 76ers like to shut down, as they're allowing the third-fewest above-the-break attempts across the past 10 games (247). 

Ivica Zubac over 27.5 points + rebounds at Chicago Bulls (-119)

DraftKings, 1:22 PM CT

Nick Whalen: Zubac's lack of shot creation limits his scoring upside, but he gets what should be a plus matchup against the Bulls — a below-average rebounding and defensive team. With no Kawhi Leonard on the court, Zubac is averaging 2.4 more points and 2.1 more rebounds per 36 minutes. 

Jabari Smith Jr. over 2.5 made threes (+111) vs. San Antonio Spurs

DraftKings, 4:28 PM CT

Alex Barutha: Smith can be quite hit or miss. He shot 17% from three during the first six games of January, and he's at 43% in four games since. During this four-game stretch, he's averaging 3.3 made triples. The main reason I like him tonight is that the Spurs have allowed the second-most corner three-point attempts over the past 10 games, and Smith has taken 2.6 of his 4.5 three-point attempts from the corners across his past 10. Smith also shoots 39.2% from distance at home compared to 32.9% on the road.
