Best Luka Doncic Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Luka Doncic Double-Double: Yes -147
This should be a huge game for Luka’s playmaking. The points are a near guarantee no matter how he’s defended, but the question is the passing. With how bad this Kings defense has been, production is nearly guaranteed no matter what.
I expect Sacramento to attempt to take away his scoring by initiating traps and blitzes in the pick-and-roll. He’ll have to kick it out early to his shooters and find his rollers early, which should lead to a lot of shot attempts for DeAndre Ayton. This should generate a lot of assists for Luka.
He also has a high rebounding floor against a Kings offense that struggles to be efficient on a nightly basis. Luka loves to get active on the boards in order to trigger the break, which will hit hard against a slow and old Kings team.
The value proposition feels strange given Luka’s short odds to record a double-double. But with the rebounding and assisting potential in this matchup, a double-double feels like a lock. Use this pick as a parlay juicing play, or bet it straight to build up a bit of capital. It’s not flashy, but it gets the job done. Luka Doncic will deliver on your behalf.
