Top NBA Player Prop Picks to Target for Saturday, January 10

Six games headline Saturday’s slate, and the prop board is giving bettors plenty of ways to attack it beyond the obvious star points markets. After scanning every matchup, the best value appears when hit rates, opponent history, and injury-driven role changes all point in the same direction.
Tonight’s card leans into that alignment: one high-floor rebound spot in Cleveland, a usage-driven assist angle in Chicago, a clean role bump in Boston, and a steady facilitator profile in Salt Lake City.

NBA Player Props for Saturday, January 10
Jarrett Allen Over 8.5 Rebounds
Minnesota Timberwolves @ Cleveland Cavaliers Matchup
- Arena: Rocket Arena
- Location: Cleveland, OH
- TV: NBA League Pass
- Date: January 10, 2026
- Time: 01:00 PM ET ET
Odds: Consensus -132 | Best Price -125 @ Fanatics
Jarrett Allen enters tonight’s matchup with a 100% hit rate over this line in his last five games and 70% in his previous ten, even though his season rebound average sits at 8.0. The matchup history is the separator: Allen has cleared 8.5 boards in 80% of his last five games against the Minnesota Timberwolves. There’s also a clean minutes-and-usage path with Max Strus (OUT), keeping Cleveland’s rotation tighter and increasing the chances Allen stays on the floor in competitive stretches. With both teams on zero days of rest, this is less about pace and more about reliability – and Allen’s recent form plus opponent history makes 8.5 look light at the current price.
Cooper Flagg Over 5.5 Assists
Dallas Mavericks @ Chicago Bulls Matchup
- Arena: United Center
- Location: Chicago, IL
- TV: NBA League Pass
- Date: January 10, 2026
- Time: 08:00 PM ET ET
Odds: Consensus +106 | Best Price +110 @ Fanatics
Cooper Flagg is in a role that’s quietly become assist-friendly, and the market is still hanging a number he’s been clearing. He’s hit over 5.5 assists in 100% of his last five games and 70% of his previous ten, despite a season assist average of 4.3. The injury context matters: with Kyrie Irving (OUT), Anthony Davis (OUT), and P.J. Washington (OUT), Dallas is forced to rely more on Flagg-initiated offense and secondary creation. On the road, he’s also been better as a distributor, averaging 4.6 assists away versus 4.0 at home. At plus money, we’re betting the over because the current line is pricing his season-long role, not his current one.
Jaylen Brown Over 28.5 Points
San Antonio Spurs @ Boston Celtics Matchup
- Arena: TD Garden
- Location: Boston, MA
- TV: NBA League Pass
- Date: January 10, 2026
- Time: 08:00 PM ET ET
Odds: Consensus -118 | Best Price -112 @ FanDuel
Jaylen Brown gets the cleanest usage bump on the slate, and the hit rates support the idea that the market still hasn’t fully adjusted. Brown has scored 28.5 points in 60% of his last five and 70% of his last ten, with a season scoring average of 29.6. This is also a stable split spot: he’s at 29.1 points at home and 30.1 on the road, so there’s no venue red flag. San Antonio’s defense profile in this dataset isn’t flagged as a weakness, but the bet is less about matchup hunting and more about concentrated shot volume in a Tatum-less offense. With the best number showing -112, the over is playable as long as the line stays under 30.
Keyonte George Over 6.5 Assists
Charlotte Hornets @ Utah Jazz Matchup
- Arena: Delta Center
- Location: Salt Lake City, UT
- TV: NBA League Pass
- Date: January 10, 2026
- Time: 09:30 PM ET ET
Odds: Consensus -103 | Best Price +100 @ FanDuel
Keyonte George has been one of the steadiest assist overs on the board, and the price is still reasonable. He’s over 6.5 assists in 80% of his last five and 70% of his last ten, with a season average of 6.9. The home/road split stays consistent (6.9 at home, 7.0 away), which is precisely what bettors want when backing a facilitator line. While his opponent’s hit rate is only 40% across his last five against the Charlotte Hornets, the current form is strong enough to outweigh that history – especially with the best price sitting at +100, which gives the over a cleaner break-even point than the consensus.
The Betting Edge
The best props on a crowded slate usually come from role clarity and repeatable stat paths, not one-off ceiling games – and tonight’s card leans into precisely that.
