NBA Pick'Em Today (Tuesday, Jan. 27)
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Philadelphia 76ers: Kelly Oubre over 11.5 points -- Pick6, 12:30 PM CT
Oubre has been playing at a high level for the 76ers of late, and his recent performances have even shifted the narrative of a potential trade. Once seen as a lock to be moved before the Feb. 5 deadline, now there's a chance Oubre will remain with the Sixers after the deadline while playing a big role in the rotation. Oubre led the 76ers in scoring in Monday's loss to the Hornets with 17 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two steals across 25 minutes, and he has a good chance of hitting this line of over 11.5 points. He's achieved that feat in each of his last six appearances, including four in which he went over the 15-point mark. Oubre is averaging 13.5 points per game over his last 10 games, further enhancing the chances of hitting this line.
New Orleans Pelicans vs. Oklahoma City Thunder: Zion Williamson over 24.5 points + assists -- PrizePicks, 12.30 PM CT
Williamson won't have an easy matchup against the Thunder's frontcourt, but he has the power and athleticism to wreak havoc against any defender if he gets into his position near the rim. Williamson is coming off back-to-back games with 24 points and four assists, and he's reached the 24.5 P+A line in four of his last six contests -- and he was limited to just 24 P+A in one of the two in which he didn't reach it. Williamson returned to the starting lineup in a loss to the Knicks on Dec. 29 and never looked back, and his returns from a fantasy and DFS perspective have been solid. In that 15-game stretch, the former Duke standout has averaged 22.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. There's enough body of work to believe Williamson will hover around this line even if the matchup is a difficult one.
Sacramento Kings vs. New York Knicks: Domantas Sabonis under 22.5 points + assists -- Underdog, 12.30 PM CT
Sabonis made his return to the starting lineup in the loss to the Pistons on Sunday but didn't have his best performance, tallying 12 points and eight assists in 25 minutes. The star big man is having an underwhelming campaign in 2025-26, and while injuries have limited him, his on-court production has been subpar compared to recent games. Since returning from a 27-game absence between Nov. 19 and Jan. 14, Sabonis has failed to reach the mark of 22.5 points + assists in four of his last five outings. It wouldn't be shocking if that happens again here, as he'll have to deal with Karl-Anthony Towns, who happens to be one of the most athletic big men in the league, and an elite rim protector in Mitchell Robinson. Sabonis is averaging just 12.6 points and 4.8 assists per game since returning from injury.
