The Mavericks faithful will have nightmares every time the Lakers come to town. Luka Doncic is in the MVP race and Anthony Davis, the other half of the infamous trade, is nowhere to be found.

best bet
LA Lakers @ Dallas Mavericks (12:30 p.m.)
Lebron James
More than 5.5 rebounds
Luka Doncic and the Lakers have another chance to remind the Dallas Mavericks what they traded. It’s been a slow comeback from sciatica early in the season that caused LeBron to miss time, but it’s hard to argue with what he’s producing at 41 years old.
Averaging 7.3RPG over his last ten games, he has cleared 6 or more rebounds in 70% of those games. Playing time is back to over 33 minutes and that’s enough against the Mavs.
Dallas rebounds with the best, third overall in total rebounds per game. Even if Ayton plays a good game, it should be more than six rebounds that find LeBron.
Same multiple game
James 6+ rebounds/Ayton 6+ rebounds/Doncic 30+ points
next best
Boston Celtics @ Chicago Bulls (12:10 p.m.)
Josh Giddey
More than 6.5 assists
We beat the one-minute restriction which I didn’t think we’d do in Giddey’s first game, yet we only missed covering his RA line by one stat.
Let’s reload knowing that if Giddey starts, he destroys this line. The last game got off to a slow start for Giddey, but he found his rhythm in the fourth quarter. He finished with 5 assists and that was while sharing point guard duties. Tre Jones has done a series and won’t be seen for some time. There are 26 minutes of base time that are divided between Giddey, Dosunmu and Huerter.
Same multiple game
Giddey 6+ assists/ Dosunmu 10+ points/ Hauser 10+ points
Value bet
Miami Heat @ Utah Jazz (1:30 p.m.)
Ace Bailey
15+ points
That’s now four of the last five games in which Ace has played 15 or more.
He averaged 17.2 points per game during that period and it’s enough to get me sucked back in. Bailey was disappointing to start the season, but has at times shown flashes of why he chose the No. 5 pick in this season’s draft.
Coming off a career-high 25-point night, this game against the Miami Heat could turn into an All-Star-type scoring fest. He shot extremely well and unless he shoots 68% again we won’t see a new career high, but we’re only chasing 15 points here. Averaging 14 shot attempts over his last five games, he really should get 15 or more.
Same multiple game
Bailey 15+ points/ Powell 20+ points/ Filipowski 8+ rebounds
