For an NBA Cup Group Stage matchup, the Lakers are hosting the Jazz on Tuesday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Los Angeles is an 11-point favorite and this game’s total is set at 234.5 points.
Below, I have featured my favorite Anthony Davis prop to consider from this contest.
Best Anthony Davis Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Anthony Davis O 28.5 points (-125)
Davis has been a monster this season, averaging a career-high 31.1 PPG – which ranks second in the league – and exceeding 28.5 points in nine of his 12 starts. The Lakers have made a clear effort to make Davis their main option this season, with the big man handling a team-high 32.1% usage rate, which is the second-highest usage rate of Davis’ career and the largest rate he has seen since the 2016-17 season.
Davis’ efficiency as a shooter has also been a big factor in him being a scoring machine. The Kentucky product is shooting 56% from the field and has dramatically improved from deep, shooting a career-best 42% on three-pointers, which is a huge improvement from his 27% average last season.
Last, but not least, this matchup with the Jazz is a perfect spot for Davis. This season, Utah ranks second-to-last in defensive efficiency and is allowing the second-most points to centers.
The Lakers’ 123.5-point implied team total on the DraftKings Sportsbook is the highest they have seen this season and the highest of the 12 NBA teams in action Tuesday. This 28.5-point line is too low for Davis’ upside in this dream spot and he needs to be backed to go over this number.
