Earlier today, I shared successful my NBA Best Bets file – Peter’s Points – why I’m backing Doncic to person a immense crippled against Miami: 

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic has been arsenic bully arsenic it gets to commencement nan 2025-26 season.

He’s played successful 3 games, returning from aggregate injuries connected Friday against Memphis, and he’s averaging a whopping 45.3 points, 11.7 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game. Doncic has double-digit boards successful each crippled and has scored astatine slightest 43 points successful each crippled this season.

He’s an MVP campaigner already, and he’s averaging complete 64 points, rebounds and assists per game.

While it’s improbable that Doncic keeps up this pace, I do emotion him successful this prop marketplace against a Miami Heat squad that is No. 1 successful nan NBA pace. There should beryllium a ton of possessions successful this game, and Miami has fixed up 125, 114, 107, 117 and 107 points successful 5 games this season.

If Miami tries to push nan play and play fast, Doncic should not only deed nan solid a bunch, but he should proceed his monolithic scoring commencement to nan season.

Luka is taking 25.7 shots and 14.0 free throws per game, giving him a terrific level erstwhile it comes to this prop connected Sunday night.  

I’m buying nan Lakers astatine location successful this game, arsenic they’re 4-2 against nan dispersed this play and person 2 of nan hottest players successful nan NBA successful Luka and Austin Reaves.

Los Angeles ranks ninth successful nan NBA successful violative standing because of nan play of those 2 guards, and while nan Heat are 4-1 against nan spread, they are coming disconnected a nonaccomplishment to nan San Antonio Spurs successful their past game.

Miami hit up connected Memphis, Charlotte and knocked disconnected nan Knicks past Sunday, but this is arguably nan toughest matchup this defense has had to look successful nan 2025-26 season.

The Lakers person been an elite location squad successful caller seasons, going 31-10 consecutive up successful J.J. Redick’s first play astatine nan helm (the 2024-25 campaign).

With Luka healthy, I deliberation L.A. is an easy stake astatine this short number tonight. 

Pick: Lakers -4.5 (-118 astatine DraftKings)
