3 Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Lakers vs. Jazz (Ride with Mitchell and Monk in Salt Lake City)

The once-mighty Los Angeles Lakers are clinging on to the last spot in the upcoming Play-In Tournament. They now face the Utah Jazz without LeBron James as double digit underdogs in Salt Late City Thursday night.

Let’s take a look at some prop odds for this showdown, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.

3 Best Prop Bets for Lakers vs. Jazz

• Donovan Mitchell OVER 3.5 Threes Made (+105)
• Russell Westbrook OVER 3.5 Turnovers (-130)
• Malik Mong OVER 21.5 Points (+100)

Donovan Mitchell OVER 3.5 Threes Made (+105)

Donovan Mitchell continues to lead the Jazz in points with an average of 26 per game. Mitchell also leads the team with an average of 3.5 threes made per game.

While Mitchell has struggled from behind the line in his last couple of games, the Lakers present a great opportunity to get back on track. Mitchell went over this total in six straight games before Sunday’s game at Dallas. I’m taking a chance that he finds his stroke against the Lakers' 18th-ranked perimeter defense. 

Russell Westbrook OVER 3.5 Turnovers (-130)

Now that LeBron James is sidelined, Westbrook has had a lot more work to do on offense. More work means more turnovers and Westbook has been prolific in this area. He leads the team with an average of 3.8 turnovers per game.

Now, with all the extra offense he has on his plate, I expect this total to rise. He has already given up seven and five turnovers in recent games. 

Malik Monk OVER 21.5 Points + Assists (+100)

Monk might be the biggest benefactor of James’ absence on the Lakers. He has gone OVER 22 points in three straight games heading into tonight. That means he hit this prop on points alone three times in a row.

He is also averaging 2.7 assists on the year and has 11 total in his last three games. I expect him to stay hot while James is out.
