💰 Best Thunder vs. Lakers prop bet: Over 7.5 assists (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
James' role as a distributor has increased since Luka Doncic went down. He has recorded 10 assists in back-to-back games as the Lakers’ primary ball handler.
James' assists line was 8.5 (Over: +112) last time out against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday, but it has dropped today due to the possibility of the Lakers being blown out by the Thunder. Yes, the Lakers are without Doncic, but the Thunder are also without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, making a rout less likely than the spread indicates.

Our Dustin Saracini features more bets worth tailing in his NBA player props tonight.
Chet Holmgren to record a double-double (+185) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
With Gilgeous-Alexander out tonight, the only way to look at Holmgren’s props is toward the Over (barring any ridiculous numbers). Holmgren has recorded a double-double in back-to-back games.
Over a larger sample, Holmgren has cashed this prop in five of his last seven games. While he finished with just 11 points and three rebounds the last time he faced the Lakers (Nov. 12), he played only 20 minutes, as the Thunder won by 29 points. This game is unlikely to result in a blowout.
Austin Reaves Under 19.5 points (-108) ⭐⭐⭐
Reaves erupted off the bench with 35 points in 25 minutes against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday, but since then, he has played more of a distributor role, including against the Warriors on Saturday.
While his points total has been adjusted - it was 23.5 (Over: -120) on Saturday - it hasn’t moved enough. Reaves scored just 16 points against the Warriors and attempted only 10 shots. Look for Reaves to continue operating as a distributor when James is off the floor, rather than as a primary scorer.
