NBA Highlights and Prop Bets for January 24
In the world of basketball, Luka Doncic remains an electrifying figure, and his much-anticipated return to Dallas is certainly the highlight of today’s NBA schedule, which features seven exciting matchups. While Mavs fans are sure to shower Doncic with adoration, rivalries simmer elsewhere—particularly the ongoing clash between the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers.

- Luka Doncic: Over 33.5 Points -115 at bet365

- Keyonte George: Over 30.5 Points + Assists -120 at bet365
Luka Doncic’s Performance
Doncic, who now plays for the Los Angeles Lakers, is back in Dallas, and while his first game against the Mavericks might have been emotionally charged, the atmosphere is expected to be more relaxed this time around, particularly with no lingering tensions from his previous trade. Doncic is currently leading the league with an impressive average of 33.4 points per game and has surpassed the 33.5 points threshold six times in his last 11 games this January. In April, during his last appearance at the American Airlines Center, he scored a remarkable 45 points.
Coming off a 38-point performance against the Denver Nuggets, Doncic remains a major scoring threat, even with his struggles from the three-point line this season (just 33%). Despite this, he has consistently made 3+ three-pointers in the last five games. Facing a Mavericks team on a four-game winning streak, Doncic is likely to deliver yet again in front of a familiar crowd.

Evan Mobley’s Outlook
The Cleveland Cavaliers are beginning to hit their stride, with four wins in their last five games. Evan Mobley has emerged as a key player, showcasing his skills in recent outings, including a robust 29 points and 13 rebounds performance against the Sacramento Kings just last night. As the Cavs get ready to confront the Orlando Magic, Mobley’s performance will be crucial, especially with Darius Garland sidelined due to a toe injury.
Despite struggles with his three-point shooting this season, Mobley has been phenomenal in two-point shooting in January, boasting a 56% success rate. He’s also averaging a solid 8.8 rebounds per game, with the potential to enhance that against the Magic’s frontcourt.

Keyonte George’s Rising Star
Keyonte George of the Utah Jazz is also someone to watch, particularly in their matchup against a decimated Miami Heat team. George is enjoying a breakout season, averaging 24.4 points and 6.7 assists per game, which positions him for another significant night. He has surpassed the combined points and assists prop in three of his last four games, including a stunning 43-point outing against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
With possible absences in the Heat’s lineup due to injuries, George is set to take on a leading role, especially if Lauri Markkanen and Jusuf Nurkic are unable to play. His shooting has remained consistent, converting 38% from three-point range, which offers opportunities for scoring in a fast-paced game against Miami.
