The Los Angeles Lakers are off to their best start in over a decade, opening the season 3-0. LeBron James recorded a 32-point, 14-rebound, 10-assist triple-double in Saturday’s 131-127 victory over the Sacramento Kings, lifting Los Angeles to its third straight home win. Now, the Lakers open a five-game road trip with a rematch against the Phoenix Suns.
James, averaging 23.0 points, 7.7 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game, will look to lead the Lakers past the Suns again following a 123-116 win last Friday. Phoenix, coming off a 114-102 win over Dallas, features Kevin Durant, who became the eighth player in NBA history to surpass 29,000 career points.
As both teams look to stay strong in the Western Conference, here are the best LeBron James prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook to consider:
Best LeBron James Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Prop lines for James’ performance include points (22.5), rebounds (6.5), assists (7.5) and made three-pointers (1.5). Here are the top options:
Over 22.5 Points (-110): James’ points line is set at 22.5, with the Over at -110. Averaging 23.0 points per game this season, he’s coming off a 32-point outing and remains a reliable scoring option. The Over is a favorable play against a Suns team that’s allowed high production from opponents.
Over 6.5 Rebounds (-120): The rebounding line for James is 6.5, and the Over is favored at -120. James is averaging 7.7 rebounds per game and should remain active on the boards, especially with Phoenix’s strong frontcourt rotation. The over provides solid value.
Over 7.5 Assists (-140): James’ assists line is 7.5, with the Over at -140. James is averaging 7.3 assists per game and registered 10 against Sacramento. The Over is a strong option, given his consistent role as a facilitator.
Over 1.5 Made Three-Pointers (-140): James’ three-point line is 1.5, with the Over at -140. He’s hit 2.3 threes per game this season, including three in his last game, making the Over valuable if he continues to hit shots.
Points + Rebounds + Assists Over 37.5 (-110): The combined line for points, rebounds and assists is 37.5, with the Over at -110. James’ season averages and recent triple-double highlight the value of this combined category bet.
Double-Double (+125) and Triple-Double (+1100) Bets: James is +125 to record a double-double, an attainable line for a player who stuffs the stat sheet like he does. For a bigger payout, James is listed at +1100 for a triple-double. Given his 113 career triple-doubles, this higher risk option could provide upside in high-stakes matchups.
Futures Outlook: DraftKings Sportsbook lists the Lakers at +2500 for the NBA Finals and James at +10000 for the MVP race. James remains a reliable choice for prop bets as the Lakers look to extend their early-season win streak.
