NBA Props Picks for Thursday: LeBron James Los Angeles Lakers OVER 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (+100) 

Marcus Smart has been ruled out for this contest due to an ankle injury and Lebron James has covered this RA line in 7/10 games without him on the court while landing on 12 & 11 RA in two of the games where he fell short.

James landed on 11 RA in his last game without Smart against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but the volume was there as he recorded 12 potential assists and 11 rebound chances.

Now James gets his second look at the Oklahoma City Thunder who he logged 16 RA against (28 combined chances) in his lone head-to-head meeting on February 9th.

The Thunder have allowed the 5th most RA to opposing power forwards with an average of 14.9 per game.

Oklahoma City is known for blitzing & trapping the ballhandler which leads to more passing than scoring and they are a smaller team that ranks bottom 10 in rebounding.

James has cleared this line in 4 of his last 5 games overall while averaging 16.8 RA on 24.8 RA chances per game and he should beat this line in another game without Smart on the on the floor.

NBA Props Picks for Thursday: Toumani Camara Portland Trail Blazers OVER 19.5 Points + Rebounds (-104)

Jerami Grant has been ruled out for this contest, leaving 18+ points and 3+ rebounds on the table and Toumani Camara has been the clear beneficiary while clearing this PR line in 9 of his last 12 games while averaging 17.8 points and 5.1 rebounds per game.

Shaedon Sharpe also remains out and Camara is a perfect 4/4 in beating this number with both players on the shelf while averaging 28.3 PR per game.

The New Orleans Pelicans rank 4th worst at defending catch-&-shoot jumpers which accounts for 52% of Camara’s total shots.

We have already seen similar forwards eclipse this line against New Orleans recently as Tari Eason logged 23 PR, Jabari Smith Jr (24), Scottie Barnes (29), Tobias Harris (21) and Derrick Jones Jr (26).

Camara himself has already had success against the Pelicans with 20, 19 & 16 PR and it’s worth noting that the 20 came in his most recent meeting and only head-to-head without Grant in action.

The Blazers are fighting for positioning in the play-in tournament, and we have a spread of -6.5 with a total of 232.5 which should lead to competitive & higher scoring game for Portland.
