We’re a month into 2024, and it’s time to win some money. I mean, let’s be honest: most of us are not doing well financially. What better way to get some cash into our pockets than depending on professional athletes to save our bank accounts? This will be just one (of hopefully many) picks of the day that you can either fade or tail. It’s all up to you. I’m not the boss of you. All prop bets will be from PrizePicks. Let’s go.

Paolo Banchero O/U 4.5 Assists: OVER

Banchero has been one of the young stars in the NBA this season. For an Orlando Magic team in desperate need of a superstar, he is becoming one. The first-time All-Star is averaging 23.0 points this season. But, he is also averaging a career-high 5.1 assists.

In the past five games, Banchero has at least six assists versus opposing teams (including seven in four of the past five).

Versus the upcoming opponent Miami Heat, the former Duke Blue Devil is averaging exactly 4.5 assists in his career. Enough said, give me the over.

Terry Rozier O/U 7.5 Rebs + Asts: OVER

Traded to the Miami Heat from the Charlotte Hornets, Rozier has been quite the addition. He is no doubt an improvement over Kyle Lowry (traded to Charlotte).

In seven games as a member of the Heat, he is averaging 5.4 assists per game and 4.7 rebounds per game. To make things more convincing, he has at least 12 rebounds and assists combined in four of the past five games.

Charlotte has allowed an average of six rebounds and 8.9 assists to opposing point guards this season. This line is pretty low, so take it while you can.

Franz Wagner O/U 1.5 3PM: OVER

Wagner may be shooting 31% from beyond the arc this season. But, he has been on fire recently.

In his past eight games, he has made at least two three-pointers in seven of them. He is coming off a 38-point performance versus the Pistons where he made four of his seven attempts from three-point land.

Miami is allowing 2.8 three-pointers made to small forwards this season.

Jimmy Butler O/U 14.5 Points: OVER

PrizePicks recently introduced a concept called Demons and Goblins. You can find more information here.

Butler’s O/U here is a goblin, and for good reason. He has passed this projection in the past ten games. The man is shooting 49.9% from the field this year. Easy over.
