LeBron James and the Lakers started the new NBA season 4-3, but they have lost three of their last four games heading into Memphis on Wednesday.
LeBron is averaging 21.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 7.7 assists this season and is playing 34.9 minutes per game. 21.9 points per game is close to a career low for LeBron so far this season, although there is still a lot of basketball to be played.
Below is my favorite bet for The King in Wednesday’s game.
Best LeBron James prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
For Wednesday’s game between the Lakers and Grizzlies, James’s lines currently sit at 25.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 8.5 assists, and 1.5 three-pointers on DraftKings Sportsbook.
I will be taking his Over 1.5 Three Pointers (-162) in this spot. James has hit the over on this total in four of seven games this season, and he is averaging 5.14 three-point attempts and 2.29 makes per game this season, which bodes well for this bet.
He is shooting 44.4% from behind the arc so far, a career-best. To top it all off, James has hit two or more threes in three of his last four games against the Grizzlies.
All the signs are pointing towards a big night from behind the arc for The King. Memphis gives up an average of 15.6 three-pointers per game this season, only worse than the Atlanta Hawks (17). I would not be shocked if LeBron had one of his biggest nights from behind the arc of the year on Wednesday night.
