💰 Best Lakers vs. Thunder player props

⬆️ Austin Reaves player prop: Over 5.5 assists (-133) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Thunder’s defensive strategy will likely revolve around getting the ball out of Luka Doncic's hands. I expect them to throw extra defenders at him, sending doubles as early as the half-court.

As a result, Austin Reaves is vital to the Lakers’ success as a secondary playmaker. Fortunately, he’s been excellent in that role, averaging nine assists per game, and has cleared this line in six of his eight outings.

At this -133 price tag, a $10 bet earns a profit of $7.52.

⬆️ Ajay Mitchell player prop: Over 15.5 points (-104) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a great matchup for Ajay Mitchell to continue his excellent play this season. Mitchell is averaging 17.2 points per contest, clearing this scoring prop in nine of his 12 outings.

With the Thunder banged up, Mitchell has joined the starting lineup and cleared this scoring prop in four straight games. He’s averaging 19.3 points over that span.

I like backing Mitchell to keep it up, as the Lakers lack the perimeter defenders to slow down his driving ability. DraftKings’ -104 offer is a solid deal, netting $9.62 on a $10 wager.

⬇️ Deandre Ayton player prop: Under 8.5 rebounds (+100) ⭐⭐⭐

This could be a tough matchup for Lakers center Deandre Ayton. The double-big combination of Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein can make life difficult for any opposing big man.

Ayton is averaging 7.8 rebounds per contest this season, but he’s only cleared this mark in four of 10 outings. He has 11 total rebounds over his last two contests against the Atlanta Hawks and Charlotte Hornets.

Most of all, I love the +100 value on this Under to generate $10 on a $10 ticket.
