LeBron James Over 22.5 points (-119) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The King celebrates his 41st birthday today - will he rule the court and cash the Over on his points for us? This number at DraftKings offers solid value, as James has scored 23 or more points in five of his last six games.
With both Austin Reaves (calf) and Rui Hachimura (calf) out, James will have to shoulder an even bigger scoring load. What better time to show he still has it than on his birthday? While I’m backing James to exceed expectations today, Shane Thurston breaks down why he’s fading James in his best NBA player props tonight.

Cade Cunningham Over 9.5 assists (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cunningham has the Pistons sitting at No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, but it’s not just his scoring that got them there - it’s also his playmaking.
He has dished out 14 or more assists in two of his last three games. Over a larger sample, he has cashed this prop in five of his last nine, hitting at a 55.56% clip during that span. These -120 odds from FanDuel carry an implied probability of 54.55%, but I expect Cunningham to exploit a Lakers defense that allows the 10th-highest assists per game (27.5) in a big, nationally televised spot.
Luka Doncic Over 3.5 three-pointers made (-128) ⭐⭐⭐
Doncic went 5 of 14 from beyond the arc against the Sacramento Kings at Crypto.com Arena on Sunday. While that’s just a one-game sample, it’s an important data point because it was his first game after Reaves went down with a calf injury.
The shooting percentage wasn’t impressive, but that’s not the key takeaway - Doncic shot 37.9% from three as a Laker last season. What matters is that he will likely attempt double-digit 3-pointers in every game for the foreseeable future, and we should expect at least 35% of them to fall.
