The Lakers host the Magic in Los Angeles on Thursday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Lakers are a five-point favorite and this game’s total is set at 216.5 points.
Below, I have featured my favorite LeBron James prop to consider from this contest.
Best LeBron James Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
LeBron James U 22.5 points (-105)
With the Magic in town, taking this under is the right call with James. Orlando ranks second in defensive efficiency and 27th in pace this season. The Magic are limiting power forwards to the fourth-least points in the league and the 216.5-point total for this game on the DraftKings Sportsbook is the lowest total for a game the Lakers have competed in this season.
In addition to the poor matchup, James is handling a career-low 27.8% usage rate this season, as the Lakers have made a clear effort to play through Anthony Davis more. The big man is leading Los Angeles with a 31.7% usage rate, which is the largest rate he has seen since 2017.
James has scored less than 22 points in eight of his 14 starts this season and he should stay under this number again Thursday.
