Through his first few games of the new NBA season, Mavericks big man Anthony Davis looks healthy as ever and fully ready to dominate the league. Tonight, he and his Dallas teammates take on the Indiana Pacers in what looks like a soft matchup ripe for prop betting lines.
Here are the top Anthony Davis prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Mavericks vs. Pacers on Wednesday night.
Best Anthony Davis prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The Mavericks may hold a 1-3 record to start the year, but Davis himself has played some fantastic ball thus far. The big man averages 25.0 PPF while shooting 52.1% from the field and pulling down 11.8 rebounds a night. He also contributes 2.8 assists, and his defensive prowess remains impressive as ever with 1.8 steals and 1.5 blocks per contest. Outside of perimeter shooting, he’s truly an all-around big man who pitches in across the board and can take take over games on both ends of the floor.
Tonight, Davis and the Mavericks face the Pacers. This matchup would’ve been much more fun were Tyrese Halliburton healthy, but Pascal Siakam steps up as Indiana’s primary star while his teammate rehabs a torn Achilles. The Pacers deploy Siakam alongside Isaiah Jackson in the frontcourt, so the center rotation is far from the league’s best with big men Tony Bradley and Jay Huff playing depth roles. Davis is more of a power forward than a center at this point, but he does his work in the paint more often than not and will deal with those four opponents throughout the night.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Davis’ prop bet lines come in at 25.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 3.5 combined steals + blocks.
That rebounding line holds plenty of potential against this weak Pacers frontcourt. Through four games, Indiana ranks dead-last with 52.3 rebounds per game allowed to opponents. That’s largely due to the thin frontcourt, and while Davis often shares the floor with another big man like Dereck Lively, there’s likely room for both to eat here. Siakam may prove problematic, but nobody else can truly challenge the Mavericks’ big men on the glass and Davis should haul in plenty of boards. He’s gone over 12.5 rebounds in two of four games this season with double-digits in every matchup, so it’s not at all unreasonable to expect he can do so again tonight.
Best bet: Anthony Davis over 12.5 rebounds (+104)
