π° Best Mavericks vs. Lakers prop bet: LeBron James Over 8.5 assists (+106)
Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
James has cashed this prop in every game since Luka Doncic went down against the Philadelphia 76ers on Feb. 5. The 22-time All-Star has recorded 10 assists in each of his last three games.
Without Doncic in the lineup, James has become the primary ballhandler and distributor. While some may have expected his scoring to increase in Doncicβs absence, heβs actually averaging fewer points this month than in December (21.2 compared to 23.5) and more assists (8.6 compared to 6.7).
I would play this bet up to -105.
π₯ More Mavericks vs. Lakers prop picks
I feature more NBA picks worth tailing in my Bucks vs. Thunder player props.
P.J. Washington Over 1.5 three-pointers made (+140)
Washington has made two 3-pointers in back-to-back games and should get even more opportunities from beyond the arc tonight with Cooper Flagg out and Naji Marshall potentially sidelined.
Washington - who shot 38.1% from beyond the arc last season - has bounced back after a rough January, during which he shot 18.2% from 3-point range. He went 2-for-5 from three on Saturday and 2-for-6 on Tuesday.
This bet is good up to +110.
Austin Reaves Over 6.5 assists (+104)
Reaves was aggressive in his second game back from injury, scoring 35 points in 25 minutes, but he has since taken on the role of a secondary point guard with Doncic out of the lineup. He has recorded at least seven assists in each of his last two games without Doncic.
I would also be OK with playing Reaves Over 5.5 assists up to -190.
Our Dustin Saracini backs Reaves to make three or more 3-pointers with his NBA player props tonight.
