Victor Wembanyama and Rudy Gobert headline Sunday's NBA prop picks.
Tonight's NBA props narrative: Wembanyama is off a minutes restriction and back to terrorizing opposing defences. Look for him to have another monster night against a bottom-feeding opponent. Elsewhere, Gobert has value to clear his rebounding total against the Golden State Warriors.

NBA prop picks Jan. 25
Best bet: Wembanyama 40+ PRA (-120)
The league is simply a better place when Wembanyama can go full tilt.
The 7-foot-4 phenom cracked the 30-minute threshold for the first time in months during a Jan. 17 matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and has been on fire since:
- Jan. 17 (vs. MIN): 39 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists
- Jan. 19 (vs. UTA): 33 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist
- Jan. 20 (at HOU): 14 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists
- Jan. 22 (at UTA): 26 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists

I can forgive his "dud" against the Houston Rockets — battling the No. 4 scoring defence on a back-to-back isn't easy.
But tonight, Wemby is well-rested against a New Orleans Pelicans team which gets destroyed by centres (stats via Fantasy Pros):
- 24.14 points allowed/game (fifth-most)
- 15.36 rebounds allowed/game (sixth-most)
- 4.77 assists allowed/game (third-most)
I'm a big Derik Queen fan, but struggle to see how the 6-foot-9 centre will slow down Wembanyama.
Key stat: Wembanyama had 18 points, 18 rebounds and 3 assists in his last game against the Pelicans.
Best NBA picks
Gobert over 11.5 rebounds (-122): All year long, I've been backing big men against Golden State. And all year long, it's been successful.
Gobert is second in rebounding per game, hauling in 11.3 boards a night. At 7-foot-1 and 258 pounds, he has a distinct size advantage over the Warriors' small-ball roster.

The only players in Steve Kerr's lineup above 6-foot-7 playing meaningful minutes are 39-year-old Al Horford and 7-footer Quinten Post.
Horford is questionable, and Post averages more 3-point attempts (4.3) than rebounds (4.0). Gobert should take their lunch money.
- Golden State allows the fifth-most rebounds per game to opposing centres.
- Gobert is averaging 12.7 rebounds per game in his last 20 games, going 14-6 against this line.
NBA player prop predictions
Demin 3+ threes (+123): I'm digging the plus-money price tag on Demin to bang three triples.
The No. 8 overall pick has been red-hot from deep over his last 15 games:
- 3.3 makes/game
- 45.0 3PT%
- 9-6 vs. this line
One of Demin's best showings in that span was against the Los Angeles Clippers on Jan. 9, when he went 5-for-10 from deep.

Demin's Nets face L.A. again tonight, and the Clippers have the eighth-highest opponent 3-point percentage in the NBA (36.7%).
