💰 Best Warriors vs. Lakers prop bet: LeBron James Over 8.5 assists (+112) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
Without Luka Doncic tonight, James will be the primary ball handler, meaning he should record nine or more assists for a second straight game.
James finished with 10 assists in a four-point win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday, with Doncic playing just 16 minutes before leaving due to a strained hamstring. The Lakers’ dynamics shift without Doncic, as Reaves assumes the primary scoring role and James moves further into a point-guard role.
🔥 More Warriors vs. Lakers prop picks
I feature more NBA picks worth tailing in my Mavericks vs. Spurs player props.
De'Anthony Melton Over 15.5 points (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Warriors will be without their top three scorers, as Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler are injured, and Jonathan Kuminga was traded before the deadline.
So who steps up for the Dubs? Melton, who has scored 17 or more points in two of his last three games. He’s coming off a 17-point performance on the road against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday, leading the Warriors in shot attempts and making 6 of 14 from the field - a promising sign for his Over bettors tonight.
Austin Reaves Over 23.5 points (-120) ⭐⭐⭐
Reaves has been arguably more aggressive coming off the bench under a minutes restriction, scoring 35 points in just 21 minutes on Thursday.
Even if Lakers coach JJ Redick keeps Reaves under 30 minutes again tonight, he still has better than a 55% chance of scoring 24 or more points. With Doncic out, Reaves is likely to be Los Angeles’ leading scorer for a second consecutive game. He scored 26 against the Warriors in their first meeting this season on Oct. 21.
