LeBron James has had an up-and-down start to the season so far. But on Wednesday, James returns home to Cleveland, Ohio, as the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Cavaliers at 7:00 p.m. ET. The Lakers have had an excellent start to the season, having a 3-1 record through four games. They beat three hopeful playoff teams: the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Phoenix Suns, and the Sacramento Kings.

James is averaging 20 points, 7.5 assists, and 7 rebounds through four games while shooting 39 percent on three-pointers. He has two games with over 20 points and two games under 20. Most recently, James had 11 points, eight assists, and five rebounds in the Lakers’ single loss to the Suns on Monday.

Here are player props for LeBron James for the Lakers matchup against the Cavs. 

Best LeBron James Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

The betting lines for James are 23.5 points, 8.5 assists, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.5 three-pointers on DraftKings Sportsbook. James had his best game of the short season against the Kings. He had a triple-double in that contest, having 32 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists. At 39 years old and in year 22 in the NBA, consistency has become a problem for James. He is still capable of being the best player on the floor any night, but he isn’t as aggressive on offense every game.

James has an over-under of 23.5 points for his homecoming against the Cavs. He has only scored over 23.5 points once this season and once in his previous three games in Cleveland. You can get James’ under in points at -110 for tonight’s game.

Throughout his career, James hasn’t been the greatest three-point shooter, but through four games, he is shooting 39 percent from deep. James is -175 to hit more than 1. 5 three-pointers on DraftKings Sportsbook. He has made at least two threes in his previous three games while hitting four against the Kings. It is good value to get his under 6.5 rebounds at +105. That is because he has only hit that mark one time this season. James has totaled five or fewer rebounds in three of four games this season.
