LeBron James Over 23.5 points (-106) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

While James scored just 17 points against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday, he attempted 17 shots and has cashed this prop in four of his last seven games.

James attempting 17 shots on Tuesday is a good sign moving forward, as it shows he’s staying aggressive on the offensive end. It’s also unlikely he shoots just 6-for-17 (35.3%) from the field again. James shot 49.7% from the field in December, and if he puts up more than 14 shots today, he should be able to clear this total.

Ja Morant Over 1.5 three-pointers made (+150) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

While Morant isn’t considered a great shooter - he’s made just 21.6% of his 3-point attempts this season - he did have a strong December from beyond the arc.

The two-time All-Star made 42.9% of his attempts from deep last month, albeit over just five games. What’s important, though, is that he's trending upward and has cashed this prop in five of his last eight games. The last time Morant faced the Lakers, he attempted six shots from beyond the arc, and while he didn’t make any, it suggests he’ll likely try to attack the Lakers from the perimeter again.

Luka Doncic Over 3.5 three-pointers made (-131) ⭐⭐⭐

In the two games since Lakers guard Austin Reaves went down with a calf injury, Doncic has attempted 14 and 11 shots from beyond the arc.

While he cashed this prop in only one of those outings - as he went just 3-for-11 from deep against the Pistons on Tuesday - the fact that he’s getting up 11-plus 3-point attempts per game is a positive sign for bettors backing his Over on 3-pointers made. Doncic made 37.9% of his 3-pointers last season as a Laker, and if he maintains this volume, he’s likely to hit four 3-pointers.
