LeBron James Over 6.5 Rebounds (-166)

LeBron James’s rebounding prop is set at 6.5, and there’s good reason to believe he will exceed this number. Statistically, LeBron has been pulling down 7.0 rebounds per game over his last 10 games, which is slightly above the line set by oddsmakers. Moreover, his season average stands at 7.45 rebounds per game, indicating a consistent ability to surpass the prop line. Additionally, when playing at home this season, LeBron’s rebounding numbers are slightly better, averaging 7.62 boards per game. This suggests that the home-court advantage could play a role in him hitting the over on this prop. The narrative also supports this pick, as the Lakers are currently in a position where they need to bounce back from a series of losses, and an increased effort on the glass from their leader is likely to be a part of their strategy.

LeBron James Over 8.5 Assists (-125)

LeBron James’s assists prop is another area where the over seems likely to hit. The line is set at 8.5 assists, and LeBron has been distributing the ball effectively, with an average of 9.2 assists over his last 10 games. This is well above the prop line and demonstrates his recent form in creating opportunities for his teammates. His season average of 7.33 assists per game may be slightly below the prop line, but his performance at home and in recent games shows an uptick, with a home average of 8.19 assists per game. The Lakers’ need for strong playmaking will be heightened against the Grizzlies, and with key players like D’Angelo Russell potentially out, LeBron will likely take on an even greater role in facilitating the offense. Given these factors, it’s reasonable to expect LeBron to exceed the assists prop, contributing to the Lakers’ efforts to find a much-needed win.
