The NBA action continues with another inter-conference tilt, and here we have the Jazz vs Nets Player Prop Bets on Monday, January 29. The Utah Jazz are searching for the third straight win, while the Brooklyn Nets want to record the first back-to-back win for the first time in 2024.
Jazz vs Nets Player Prop Bets – Mikal Bridges Over 31.5 Points, Assists, and Rebounds (-110)
Mikal Bridges is the team’s top-scorer with 21.7 ppg, while he also gets more minutes on the floor (35.0 mpg) than any other Net. Bridges combined for over 31.5 PTS, AST, and REB in five of the previous nine games, and I am backing him in this one because he has a favorable matchup against Simone Fontecchio.
Utah allows 22.0 ppg, 7.3 rpg, and 4.5 apg to the opposing small forwards. We need a 22/5/5 line from Bridges to win this pick. He struggled from the floor the last time he met the Jazz, but when these teams previously met in Brooklyn, Bridges scored 30 points with seven boards and two dimes.
Mikal should take between 15 and 20 shots in this one, and the fact Ben Simmons is returning from a lengthy injury is a plus for Bridges. Simmons is known as more than capable of finding an open teammate, and I believe Brooklyn as a team will improve with his return.
Cam Thomas Over 2.5 Threes Made (+140)
For the second pick in the Jazz vs Nets Player Prop Bets, I have another Net. Cam Thomas is having the season of his life. He is the team’s second top-scorer with 21.0 ppg, although he averages only 28.8 minutes per contest. The scoring machine combined for 62 points in the last two games, while he scored 25+ in three of the previous five showings.
This season, Thomas is shooting 34.9% from beyond the arc. He made three triples in the most recent win over the Rockets, and I think he can repeat that due to a favorable matchup. The Nets score 13.6 three-pointers per game, while Utah allows 14.0 triples per game. Only the Bulls and Lakers allow more shots from downtown.
Additionally, the Jazz allow 22.2 ppg and 3.5 threes per game to the opposing shooting guards. Let’s not ignore the fact that Thomas hit five triples and finished the previous H2H against Utah with 32 points.
