Six games of the 2023-24 NBA are on the program on Sunday, with the two evening ones being the ones that we’re going to cover. The reason? The Indiana Pacers vs. Phoenix Suns and Portland Trail Blazers vs. Los Angeles Lakers seem perfect for NBA player props!

Prop Pick

The Indiana Pacers are great offensively, but their defensive stats are horrible. This can be a real problem for Rick Carlisle’s men tonight because they’re playing against a team that’s been in a great mood for scoring.

The Phoenix Suns are in good form, with their points leader, Kevin Durant, getting back in shape after a hamstring injury at the start of the year. We think his good run will continue tonight, possibly even going over 26.

Trail Blazers vs. Lakers

How to Watch

• When: Sunday, January 21, 2024, at 10:00 p.m. ET

Prop Pick

Both LeBron James and Anthony Davis are reportedly struggling with ankle injuries. It’s nothing serious, apparently, but they might not do too great on the court tonight.

If that happens, some of their teammates must step up to help the Lakers deal with the Trail Blazers. So, who will it be? D’Angelo Russell is our answer.

This guy has been doing alright throughout the season, even though he hasn’t been getting too much time on the floor. However, on a few occasions in which he spent more than 40:00 minutes playing, he scored a lot of points. Against the Utah Jazz, for example, he scored 39 points in 40:47 minutes.
