The Dallas Mavericks return home Monday after splitting their first two games of the season. They fell to the Phoenix Suns 114-102 on Saturday after an opening-night win against the San Antonio Spurs. Luka Doncic shined against Phoenix despite the loss, recording a double-double with 40 points and 10 rebounds.
Doncic, who is averaging 34.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 6.0 assists through two games, is set to face the Utah Jazz — one of his most productive matchups last season, against whom he averaged 30.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 11.5 assists over four games.
With the Jazz fresh off a 127-86 blowout loss to Golden State and still seeking their first win, Doncic will look to take advantage of a Utah team still finding its footing defensively.
Here are the best Luka Doncic prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Prop lines for Doncic’s performance are available across multiple categories, including points (29.5), rebounds (9.5), assists (9.5), and made three-pointers (3.5). Here are the top options to consider:
Over 29.5 Points (-120): Doncic’s points line is set at 29.5, with the over at -120. After scoring 40 points against the Suns and averaging 34.0 points per game so far this season, Doncic’s scoring prowess is in peak form already. Against Utah last season, he posted 30.5 points per game, making the over on this line a strong option.
Over 9.5 Rebounds (+114): Doncic’s rebounding line is set at 9.5, with the over offering +114 odds. With an average 9.2 rebounds per game last season, Doncic has shown his versatility on the boards. Given the Jazz’s recent struggles in defensive positioning, the over provides solid value here.
Over 9.5 Assists (+114): Doncic’s assists line is set at 9.5, with the over at +114. Last season, he averaged 11.5 assists per game against the Jazz, so the over holds intriguing potential, particularly at plus odds. He’s more than capable as a facilitator.
Over 3.5 Made Three-Pointers (+100): Doncic’s three-point line sits at 3.5, with the over favored at +100. Having hit five threes in his last game and averaging 4.5 per game this season, Doncic continues to deliver consistently from deep. This prop is worth considering, especially with Utah’s underwhelming perimeter defense.
Points + Rebounds + Assists Over 48.5 (-110): The combined line for Doncic’s points, rebounds, and assists is set at 48.5, with the over at -110 odds. Given his impressive 40-point performance against Phoenix and his averages of 34.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 6.0 assists this season, the over offers balanced value for bettors looking for a combined stats line.
Double-Double (-275): Doncic is currently favored to record a double-double at -275, and he has already posted one this season with 40 points and 10 rebounds against the Suns. Doncic is highly likely to hit double digits in at least two stat categories.
Triple-Double (+310): The odds for a triple-double sit at +310, making it an intriguing option for bettors looking for a higher payout. Doncic averaged 9.8 assists and 9.2 rebounds per game last season, nearly achieving a triple-double in each contest. There’s a solid chance for Doncic to make a run at reaching double digits across points, rebounds, and assists tonight.
Futures Outlook: The Mavericks are +900 to win the NBA Finals on DraftKings Sportsbook, placing them fourth-best to win the title. Doncic is also the leading MVP candidate at +320.
