Lakers vs. Raptors Player Props: Best NBA Prop Bet Picks for Dec. 4

My Lakers vs. Raptors player props project LeBron James and Austin Reaves to form a dynamic 1-2 punch today.

The Raptors are a 2.5-point betting favorite, with tipoff from Scotiabank Arena in Toronto scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. I also target Brandon Ingram as part of my NBA best bets for today.

Search the best NBA player prop odds for any team or player across every market from legal sportsbooks in your area.

⬆️ LeBron James player prop: Over 7.5 assists (-134) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

James is averaging 7.2 assists per game this season, despite playing all of those games alongside Luka Doncic, who is the Lakers’ primary distributor with 8.9 assists per game.

Now that Doncic (personal reasons) won’t play today, James’ assists projection should be upgraded much more aggressively. With some of the best sports betting sites already raising this line to 8.5, grab the 7.5 at BetRivers at -134 before the operator follows suit.

These odds carry a 57.26% implied probability, with a $10 winning bet profiting $7.46.

⬆️ Brandon Ingram player prop: Over 5.5 rebounds (-104) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ingram has grabbed six or more rebounds in six of his last seven games.

He is coming off a six-rebound performance in a home win over the Trail Blazers on Tuesday and has cashed this prop in 15 of his 22 games this season. With the Raptors’ top rebounder, Jakob Poeltl, resting, look for Ingram and Scottie Barnes to pick up the slack as the next two best rebounders on the team.

FanDuel’s -104 odds for Ingram to grab six or more rebounds carry an implied probability of 50.98%, with a $10 winning ticket profiting $9.62.

⬆️ Austin Reaves player prop: Over 27.5 points (-120) ⭐⭐⭐

With Doncic out and James averaging a career-low 15.2 points per game, this is the perfect storm for Reaves to go off.

When Doncic missed three games with a left finger sprain in late October, Reaves averaged 40 points per game, attempting 20 or more shots in each outing. While James playing alongside Reaves could, in theory, take shots away from the fifth-year Lakers guard, I expect James to continue leaning into his role as a distributor, as he has attempted 13 or fewer shots in three of his five games this season.

Reaves’ -120 odds at DraftKings to score 28 or more points carry an implied probability of 54.55%. A $10 winning bet profits $8.33.

👑 Will LeBron James score 10 points tonight (Yes: -6000)?

James has scored 10 or more points in the most consecutive games in NBA history, with a total of 1,297. However, that streak nearly ended on Monday, as the 21-time All-Star had just seven points in the fourth quarter before hitting a 3-pointer with 6:51 remaining to reach double digits.

FanDuel lists James at -6000 odds to score 10+ points tonight in Toronto. Not only would it be unrealistic to recommend a bet at -6000 odds, but I also believe that price is too steep, especially considering his struggles on Monday and the injury risks for a 40-year-old player.

(Note: At the time of publication, no regulated sportsbook is offering the “No” on this prop.)
