We have 10 games on the NBA slate this evening and Underdog Fantasy is bringing us tons of options for our NBA Pick'em plays here this evening. 

This slate here is very appealing with a 252 game total between the Pacers and Hawks along with key players being out such as Tyrese Haliburton, Joel Embiid, Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro creating potential opportunities for us to take advantage of certain projections for our slips this evening.

With that said,  let's dive into our favorite Underdog Fantasy NBA Pick'em plays for Friday, January 12th.

 

Underdog Fantasy NBA Pick'em Top Plays

Domantas Sabonis, Sacramento Kings

Let's get risky with our first pick here today shall we? Underdog Fantasy is giving us a 2.25x multiplier with the Sabonis triple double line tonight. Sabonis just had a triple double two nights ago and was well on his way to back-to-back triple doubles if not for the blowout against the Hornets. Sabonis is currently second in the NBA in triple doubles with nine, just two behind Nikola Jokic who leads the league with 11. Tonight's matchup for Sabonis is a favorable one as the Kings face off against a 76ers team that is without Joel Embiid. This game has a 241.5 game total with just a 1.5-point spread suggesting we should get a full run of minutes here from Sabonis this evening.  Lets take the risk here this evening on Sabonis getting his 10th triple double of the season.

Pick: Higher than 0.5 Triple Doubles (2.25x)

Jalen Johnson, Atlanta Hawks

Since coming back from injury on December 26th we've seen Hawks forward Jalen Johnson notch four double doubles in seven games while finishing with no less than seven rebounds in any contest. So,  it only makes sense that we take a look at his double-double line tonight which was a 1.25x multiplier attached to it this evening. The matchup between the Hawks and Pacers has a 252 game total with Atlanta sitting as a 5.5-point home favorite. The double double mark isn't really that much of a reach considering he has seven double doubles in 22 games played this season. The pace, game environment and matchup is all conducive to another strong performance from the Hawks former first round pick.

Pick: Higher than 0.5 Double Doubles (1.25x)
