Top NBA Prop Bets for Kings vs. Lakers
Austin Reaves Under 4.5 Assists (-121)
Austin Reaves is averaging 5.5 assists per game this season. However, recent performances suggest taking the under might be wise. Since the return of Luka, Reaves has failed to exceed four assists in five consecutive games. He averages just 4.5 assists when playing alongside Luka this season. With a continued limit on his minutes post-injury, he may not meet this assist prop.
Russell Westbrook Over 15 Points (+118)
Russell Westbrook remains a key offensive player for the Lakers. He averages 15.3 points this season and has scored impressively in recent games, achieving 25 points against the Grizzlies and 22 against the Rockets. Historically, Westbrook performs well against the Kings, scoring at least 15 points in four of his last six encounters.
Deandre Ayton Over 7.5 Rebounds (-121)
Deandre Ayton has been consistent on the boards, recording at least eight rebounds in 21 consecutive games against the Kings. With an average of 8.3 rebounds this season and recent performances including a game with 10 rebounds, he stands a solid chance to exceed this prop, especially given the Kings’ young frontcourt.
