NBA Odds: Prop Bets for Raptors vs. Lakers game
1. Anthony Davis Over 13.5 rebounds @ (-103) via BetOnline
Anthony Davis is currently in his 12th professional season, his fifth with the Los Angeles Lakers. The 30-year-old is averaging (25.2) points and (12.5) rebounds per game. Davis has only missed two games this season. Additionally, his (2.6) blocks per game are the highest of his career with the Lakers and since 2017-18. It’s his second season in a row averaging over (12.0) rebounds per game.
Tonight, his O/U for rebounds is set at (13.5) vs. the Raptors. Davis has gone over that number in 15 of his 35 games played this season. He had 17 rebounds in a game last week in a loss to the Miami Heat. It’s been another impressive season for Davis, but the Lakers would like to have a better record. They’re a much better team than their 18-19 record heading into Tuesday’s contest vs. Toronto.
2. R.J. Barrett Over 17.5 points @ (-126) via BetOnline
Less than two weeks ago, the Raptors and Knicks made a trade. Toronto sent O.G. Anunoby to the Knicks in exchange for R.J. Barrett and Immanuel Quickley. In the four games they’ve played for the Raptors, the team is 3-1. Barrett’s scoring numbers are up since joining the Raptors. He was averaging (18.2) points per game with the Knicks. That number is up to (21.0) points per game with Toronto.
His O/U for points is set at (17.5) vs. the Lakers. Barrett has gone over that number in 14 of his 30 games played this season. Additionally, he’s gone over that number in two of his four games with the Raptors. Toronto will need a big performance from Barrett and the rest of his teammates if they want to beat the Lakers.
3. LeBron James Over 7.5 assists @ (-130) via BetOnline
At 39 years old, LeBron James is not showing any real signs of slowing time. Maybe his energy level is where it was in his prime, but the four-time NBA Champion still dominates each time he steps on the court. James’ (25.2) points per game are the lowest of his career since 2015-16 when he was with Cleveland. His rebounding numbers are down slightly in 2023-24, but his (7.4) assists per game leads the team.
Tonight, his O/U for assists is set at (7.5) vs. the Raptors. James has gone over that number in 14 of his 34 games played this season. In 58 career games vs. Toronto, King James averages (7.6) assists per contest. He also averages (27.2) points per game in his career vs. the Raptors. Both Anthony Davis and LeBron average (25.2) points per game this season.
