Luka Doncic made his debut for the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday following last week’s unthinkable, internet-breaking trade. He dropped 14 points, five rebounds, and four assists in 24 minutes of action, and while he didn’t shoot well from the field, the efficiency is understandable given his extended absence since Christmas Day.
On Wednesday night, Doncic and the Lakers face the Utah Jazz yet again at 9 p.m. EST, this time on the road. Here’s a couple of top prop bet options on DraftKings Sportsbook for the action.
Best Luka Doncic prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
For tonight’s clash between the Lakers and Jazz, Doncic’s lines on DraftKings Sportsbook are currently set at 24.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 3.5 three-pointers. His PTS + REB + AST O/U sits at 38.5.
With the superstar just working his way back from an injury while trying to integrate himself with a new team, there may be a handful of bumps in the road for Doncic. His minutes could remain a bit limited and he doesn’t have built-in chemistry with his Lakers teammates.
However, Doncic’s 24.5 points line is a tempting one to push the over on. It feels a tad low given his deserved reputation as one of the NBA’s alpha scorers, and he averages 27.5 PPG on the season overall. Based on his season-long sample, Doncic has gone over 24.5 points in 15 of 23 appearances, so the over could be worth targeting tonight at -120 odds. Sure, there’s some rust to shake off and his minutes are slightly uncertain, but we’re betting on the talent here, which is undeniable. Doncic was the league’s scoring champ just a season ago, and the five-time All-Star’s points line won’t remain this low for long as he works his way back up to speed.
Another line to look at tonight is Doncic’s REB + AST over/under. He recorded 10 REB + AST last game in just 24 minutes, just a few shy of his 13.5 line for this contest against Utah. If his minutes tick up a little bit, he’ll inch closer to exceeding that mark. On the season, Doncic surpassed 13.5 REB + AST in 18 of 23 appearances, so it’s rare he misses the mark when receiving a higher workload. This could be a great way to hedge in case his shot isn’t falling to hit the aforementioned points prop. If that’s the case, expect him to still make an impact in other facets of the game, making this a nice option at -105 odds on the over.
