The Lakers currently sit fourth in the NBA’s Western Conference after Luka Doncic kept them afloat during LeBron James’ injury absence. The elder statesman is back in the lineup now ahead of tonight’s road game in Orlando against the Magic, but Doncic is certain to remain involved as the push for postseason seeding continues.
Here’s the best prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Doncic ahead of the 7 p.m. EST tip-off.
Best Luka Doncic prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
DraftKings Sportsbook lists Doncic’s prop lines at 28.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 6.5 assists. His three-pointers line sits at 3.5, while his combo line for points, rebounds, and assists sits at 43.5.
The Lakers are -175 Moneyline favorites on the road tonight against the Magic, while the game total is set at a low 214.5. Orlando ranks second in defensive rating and allows the fewest opponent points per game of any team, and they play at the second-slowest pace in the NBA. In short, they’ll look to drag Luka and the Lakers into the mud in this contest.
Doncic has only faced the Magic once this season, a matchup which came back in November while he was still in a Mavericks uniform. He hit five three-pointers in that one en route to a 32-point performance. Doncic’s three-pointers line is 3.5 tonight with +105 odds on the over, which is one of the best player props available right now. The Slovenian superstar is on a hot shooting streak lately, knocking down at least four shots from long range in four of his last five games; eight of his last 10; and 10 of his last 15. If you believe in riding the hot hand, over 3.5 made threes for Doncic is a great avenue to take tonight at plus-odds.
The safer-but-boring pick for tonight is over 14.5 combined assists and rebounds for Luka at -135 odds. The value may not be exciting, but Doncic has gone over this line in 25 of his 39 appearances on the campaign. Through his last 15 games, this over hit 11 times, so it’s a very reliable prop market for a player who contributes in every statistical category.
