Lakers vs. Nuggets prop bet predictions for Monday

LeBron James Under 8.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐

LeBron James recorded four assists in Saturday’s victory against the Nuggets, and there are several possibilities for another low assist performance on Monday.

After scoring 30 points in his first elimination game, James should aim to increase his scoring output. Throughout his career, James has averaged 33.6 points and 7.4 assists per game when playing in elimination games.

Additionally, there is a possibility that the Nuggets dominate, leading James to concede defeat in the second half. Take advantage of the -125 price by betting on Under 8.5 assists, especially considering that other sports betting apps are charging as high as -141 for the same ticket. According to our odds calculator, the -141 odds suggest a 58.51% chance of this prop being successful.

D’Angelo Russell Over 1.5 turnovers ⭐⭐⭐⭐

D’Angelo Russell of the Lakers had a standout performance in Game 4, surpassing expectations by scoring 21 points, grabbing four rebounds, and dishing out four assists. He also maintained his low turnover rate for the second consecutive game.

However, Russell’s potential is often overshadowed by his inconsistency. In his last game in Denver, he had four turnovers, and it is not unlikely that he may have a similar subpar performance against the strong defensive team of the Nuggets.

Most shops have the odds for Over 1.5 turnovers set at -140, but DraftKings is offering a lower price at -135.

Nikola Jokic Over 0.5 blocks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

When it comes to solid defense, Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is expected to step up against Anthony Davis in Game 5. Although Jokic only managed to block one shot in Game 4, Davis still scored 25 points and grabbed 23 rebounds.

Jokic’s defensive skills are often underestimated, especially in this particular matchup. He has managed to block shots in at least eight out of his last 15 games against the Lakers.

With a projected 0.7 blocks, this +140 price at bet365 is a steal that you should take advantage of before the game starts. With this price, a $10 bet will earn you $24.

Top odds: +140 at bet365
