NBA Player Props Best Bet #1: LeBron James (LAL) Over 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (+102)

The Lakers are 13-1 straight up over their last 14 games but we’ll get to see how good they really are tonight as they play at Oklahoma City.

These two have met twice already this season with OKC winning both games by an average of 19 points per game so you know the Lakers will bring their best effort on Thursday.

We’re going to take LeBron James to go over 12.5 rebounds + assists with OKC allowing the second most rebounds and most assists per game to power forwards over the last 15 days.

James played in only one of the previous head-to-head meetings putting up 16 rebounds + assists and has averaged 16.8 rebounds + assists across his last five games.

James should be well rested for this one after playing in 31 minutes on Tuesday which was the least amount of minutes he played in a game since March 1st playing 27 minutes against Sacramento.

Playing on national TV tonight, let’s take James to be a difference maker in this game aside from scoring going over 12.5 rebounds + assists against the Thunder in OKC.

NBA Player Props Best Bet #2: Stephon Castle (SA) Over 27.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-114)

After putting up 33 points + rebounds + assists in the Spurs 127-113 win over Golden State last night, we’re going to take shooting guard Stephon Castle over 27.5 points + rebounds + assists with San Antonio playing the second leg of a back-to-back in LA against the Clippers.

The Clippers have allowed the fifth most points per game to shooting guards over the last 15 days and rank just 22nd in rebounding rate this season.

In the most recent head-to-head matchup on March 16th, Castle had 38 points + rebounds + assists and has averaged 34.5 points + rebounds + assists over his last five games and since the all-star break he’s averaging 30 points + rebounds + assists.

Over the last five games the Spurs are first in rebounding percentage and sixth in assist percentage so while the main focus for the opposition gets put on Victor Wembanyama, let’s look to Stephon Castle to fill up the stat sheet tonight in LA going over 27.5 points + rebounds + assists on Thursday night.
