3 Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Lakers vs. Mavericks (Lakers Without LeBron are a Lost Cause)
By Matt De Saro
The Mavericks and Lakers face off tonight in Dallas with LeBron James currently doubtful to suit up. Let’s take a look at some prop odds for this showdown, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.
3 Best Prop Bets for Lakers vs. Mavericks
- Luka Doncic OVER 39.5 Points + Assists (+110)
- Russell Westbrook OVER 3.5 Turnovers (-150)
- Maxi Kleber OVER 1.5 Threes Made (+200)
Luka Doncic OVER 39.5 Points + Assists (+110)
This is a perfect combination for the Mavericks. Doncic is an amazing talent playing against a terrible Los Angeles Lakers team. As if the Lakers weren't struggling enough, they will likely be without LeBron James tonight. James is not exactly a defensive stud, but his absence leaves a lot of holes in this team. LA is already the 27th ranked defense in giving up assists. Doncic has gone over this total in seven of his last 12 games. I think he is a safe bet to go off against a shorthanded Lakers.
Russell Westbrook OVER 3.5 Turnovers (-150)
Westbrook might be asked to carry a bit more of the load with LeBron out and we all know what that means. More turnovers! Westbrook has been taking a lot of heat this year so allow me to stoke that fire. Westbrook is giving up a ton of turnovers right now. He averaged more than three per game in March so far and has 10 combined in his last two games. He has gone over this total in four of his last six games.
Maxi Kleber OVER 1.5 Threes Made (+200)
Kleber is not known as an elite three-point shooter, but I think that the Mavs power forward could cash a prop for us here nonetheless. Kleber is averaging just 3.3 threes per game and is making around 0.5 per game on average. Again, not great, but I think he finds some extra room to operate tonight. Not only are the Lakers a terrible defense, but they are playing shorthanded tonight. With these odds, I think Kleber is worth a small play.
