Saturday’s NBA slate brings just five games with only three in the typical evening/night windows, meaning all eyes may be on California tonight. The Los Angeles Lakers and their star-studded lineup are on the road against the Golden State Warriors, setting up a West Coast clash between rivals.
The Lakers are a -3.5 favorite with -170 odds on the Moneyline. The game total sits at 229.5 points.
Here are the top Luka Doncic prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Lakers vs. Warriors on Saturday night.
Best Luka Doncic prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The Lakers are 34-24 this season and have struggled coming out of the All-Star break, dropping three consecutive contests to the Celtics, Magic and Suns. They did beat the Clippers in the first matchup after the break, so they’ll surely be looking to recapture momentum tonight against a Warriors squad still operating without superstar Steph Curry.
Los Angeles is clearly a better team with Luka Doncic on the floor. The Lakers have a record of 28-18 when their own superstar is active compared to just a 6-6 mark when he doesn’t play. On the season, Doncic’s averages sit at a league-leading 32.7 points with 7.8 rebounds and 8.6 assists. While he’s been in and out of the lineup due to various injuries, his play when healthy continues to support his case as a top-three player in the league.
Doncic’s prop bet lines on DraftKings Sportsbook sit at 32.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 3.5 made three-pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line comes in at 48.5.
The Slovenian star has appeared in four games since the All-Star break after missing an extended stretch of time prior to it. He’s played his regular share of minutes without any concerns about workload, putting up 38, 25, 22 and 41 points. Clearly, he feels pretty healthy based on these results.
The top Doncic prop bet I like for tonight is over 3.5 made three-pointers at -109 odds. He’s been firing away from deep this season with 10.3 3PA/GM, the NBA’s highest mark and the second-most of his own career as well. While he’s hitting those shots at just a 35.7% rate, he remains a volume shooter from long range and has gone over 3.5 made threes in three of his four games since the break. Beyond that, the over on this line cashed in six of his eight total appearances in February thus far as well as 23/46 chances on the full campaign.
While the Warriors do have a strong defense that holds opponents to the ninth-fewest 3PA and seventh-fewest 3PM on a per-game basis, Doncic’s volume should make up for the negative matchup. I like him to go over 3.5 made threes here.
Best bet: Luka Doncic over 3.5 made threes (-109)
