Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Blazers vs. Lakers (Anthony Davis, Lonnie Walker IV Intriguing Scoring Options)
By Peter Dewey
The Los Angeles Lakers close out the night in the NBA with a matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers.
Portland is fresh off a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, but it could take advantage of a struggling Lakers team that has just seven wins this season. If you’re looking for a pick on this game, check out our betting preview here.
However, if you want some action on specific players, I have you covered with three prop bets to consider on Wednesday night.
Anthony Davis should stay hot scoring and there is one rebounds prop to continue betting with Vegas not moving the line as of late.
Let’s dive in:
Blazers vs. Lakers Best NBA Prop Bets
- Anthony Davis OVER 24.5 Points
- Josh Hart UNDER 7.5 Rebounds
- Lonnie Walker OVER 14.5 Points
Anthony Davis OVER 24.5 Points
Anthony Davis is probable for this game, and he's been a scoring machine as of late, scoring 25 or more points in six straight games.
The Blazers are coming into this off a bad loss to the Clippers where they were outscored by 19 points in the fourth quarter. I think the Lakers can win or at least hang in this game, which means plenty of minutes and shots for AD.
When Davis is going like this, he’s one of the best players in the NBA. I’ll gladly take the OVER with his total all the way down at 24.5.
Josh Hart UNDER 7.5 Rebounds
I took this Josh Hart prop last night against the Los Angeles Clippers, and he went UNDER with exactly seven boards.
Even though Hart had a 19-rebound game against the New York Knicks last Friday, he has cleared this line just three times in his last eight games.
The Lakers aren’t the best rebounding team, but this line is still too high for me with Hart usually going UNDER.
Lonnie Walker IV OVER 14.5 Points
Lonnie Walker IV is averaging 16.6 points per game this season, and he’s finally had his points prop back to 14.5 after a nine-point game against the Indiana Pacers.
Prior to that game, Walker had seven straight games with 14 or more points, clearing this line in six of them.
He takes 13.1 shots per game this season and is actually one of the Lakers’ better 3-point shooters (36.3 percent). I’ll take the OVER for Walker tonight.
