Over 44.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120)
Doncic has cleared this combined line in eight of his last 13 games and remains one of the league’s top usage players. He recorded 29 points and nine assists in Saturday’s win over Memphis and has averaged 27.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 7.8 assists in 21 games since joining the Lakers.
