NBA Predictions for January 3, 2025

Michael Beasley: Over 15.5 Points

A high-paced game is expected between the Pistons and the Hornets, with Detroit forced to play without Jaden Ivey due to a fractured kneecap. In this context, Beasley emerges as the perfect player: in the three games without Ivey, he has recorded 26, 28, and 26 points, showing that his teammate’s absence allows him to take on more offensive responsibilities (20 shot attempts compared to 12 when Ivey is on the court).

Trey Murphy III: Over 3.5 3-Points

Amid the turmoil surrounding the Pelicans and rumors of a potential rebuild by the front office, Trey Murphy has emerged as one of the few certainties. The NOLA player is averaging over 20 points per game, with highs exceeding 30, as seen in his recent performance against Miami. Over the last 10 games, he has hit at least four three-pointers on six occasions, and the defense-light matchup against the Wizards could give him the chance to attempt 10 shots from beyond the arc. Currently, he’s shooting a solid 36.7% from three this season.

Austin Reaves: Over 7.5 Assists

Austin Reaves is experiencing a magical stretch, taking charge of the team and leading with his playmaking. The Lakers have secured three wins in the last four games where he posted a double-double. Over his last four outings, Reaves has consistently reached double digits in assists, hitting a career-high 16 against the Kings. Atlanta’s often lenient defense could provide him with the chance to record his fifth consecutive double-double.
