DraftKings. LeBron James has somehow flown under the radar with his recent stretch. He’s cleared this line in seven of eight games playing alongside Luka Doncic, but without Austin Reaves. The Lakers offense has been pretty lean without their third star, and James is averaging 18 shot attempts and 7 free throw attempts in these contests. The Bucks should serve as a solid opponent, as they allow the sixth month free throw points in the NBA - LeBron’s main method of scoring in the half court. I like the added motivation of playing against fellow superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, as well.
It has generally paid for me to wait in the NBA and normally I will. But I don't really see much of a chance that a questionable LeBron James sits out tonight against Giannis -- who knows how many more H2H matchups they have? This might be it as the teams played earlier this year when James was out. LBJ got the last game off for injury maintenance, so he should be ready to go. If I wait, this probably jumps at least 25 cents. And Rui Hachimura may return from injury for LA. That the Lakers got spanked on Wednesday I think only helps tonight.
