The Dallas Mavericks will take on the Philadelphia 76ers and Joel Embiid tonight. Embiid is currently the favorite to win the MVP award, but let’s not forget who will be the star on the other side of the floor tonight. 

Luka Doncic has been outstanding as of late and can easily be the best player on the floor tonight. 

WynnBET currently has Doncic lined up for a big game against the Sixers. His point total is set at 28.5 (Over: -125/Under: -105); His rebound line is at 9.5 (Over: -105/Under: -125); His assist line is set at 8.5 (Over: -130/Under: +100).

If you were to take the over on all three of those lines, the parlay would have +522 odds – turning a $25 bet into $130.43.

Doncic has scored at least 30 points in each of the last three games and is coming off a 40-point performance. On top of that, he is throwing dimes at an extremely high rate. Doncic has recorded double-digit assists in each of the last four games

While I would easily take the over on points and assists, it’s the rebounds that is giving me a bit of hesitation. Doncic has been inconsistent reaching double-digit rebounds, hitting the line in four of his last eight games. 

The Mavericks are a slight favorite tonight. If they are going to pull off the win, they’ll need Doncic to show up and perform.
