Best NBA Bets Today (Wednesday, Jan 21)
Jalen Johnson over 1.5 threes vs. Memphis Grizzlies (-137)
DraftKings, 4:34 PM CT
Nick Whalen: Memphis is giving up the third-most three-point attempts per game over the last 10 contests, and while Johnson isn't shooting the three overly well, he's still taking nearly six per game as the clear offensive engine for the Hawks.
Jaren Jackson over 5.5 rebounds (-132) vs. Atlanta Hawks
FanDuel, 3:50 PM CT
Alex Barutha: Atlanta has been terrible on the boards lately. They're allowing 48.1 opponent rebounds per 48 minutes across the past 10 games, which is the third highest in the NBA. In the past 30 days, they've allowed eight games of 11+ rebounds to players classified as centers or forward/centers, including Deandre Ayton (18), Ariel Hukporti (16) and Karl-Anthony Towns (15). We know JJJ is inconsistent on the boards, but I'm hoping this can be one of his bigger games. He's averaging 4.6 boards in January.
Jalen Duren over 30.5 points + rebounds (-113) at New Orleans Pelicans
Caesars, 4:13 PM CT
Alex Barutha: The Pelicans have been struggling to contain centers. Just over the past 30 days, they've given up some big performances to the likes of Mark Williams (24 PTS, 13 REB), Goga Bitadze (14 PTS, 13 REB) and Deandre Ayton (18 PTS, 11 REB). Duren should be able to add to that list. He's cooled off a bit compared to a huge month of November, but he's still averaged 16.0 points and 9.6 rebounds across his past 17 games. He's also recorded at least 15 rebounds in seven of his 34 games and at least 20 points in 11 games, so we know he's capable of big outings.
Jarrett Allen under 7.5 rebounds (+115) at Charlotte Hornets
BetRivers, 4:01 PM CT
Alex Barutha: Allen is averaging just 4.0 rebounds in two prior appearances against the Hornets this season. Charlotte is quietly one of the best rebounding teams in the NBA, allowing the fewest boards per 48 minutes across the past 10 games (36.8). Allen had been rebounding better to start January, but he's fallen back to averaging just 6.3 rebounds across his past four games.
