Earlier today, I shared successful SI Betting’s Best NBA Prop picks why Reaves is worthy a look aft his 51-point showing connected Sunday: 

Monday is nan 2nd nighttime of a back-to-back for Reaves and nan Los Angeles Lakers, but he could beryllium successful statement for a immense showing pinch Luka Doncic (finger, leg) retired of nan lineup.

Reaves had 51 points connected Sunday against nan Sacramento Kings, and he enters this crippled pinch Portland averaging 34.0 points and 9.7 assists per game. Through 3 games, Reaves has astatine slightest 25 points and 9 assists successful each matchup.

The Lakers are going to thin heavy connected their prima defender pinch Doncic and James out, and he should beryllium successful nan operation to clear this line. Reaves has taken astatine slightest 15 shots and dished retired astatine slightest 9 assists successful each crippled this season.

Plus, he’s coming disconnected a whopping 22 free-throw attempts connected Sunday. The Lakers discourtesy is going to tally done Reaves for nan adjacent week, and bettors should expect immoderate much high-scoring performances. 

There’s a chance that some of these teams extremity up ruling retired immoderate cardinal players connected Monday since it’s nan 2nd nighttime of a back-to-back, but nan Lakers can’t spend to really punt immoderate games pinch Doncic retired astatine slightest a week and James apt retired until immoderate clip successful November.

I don’t mind taking nan points pinch nan Lakers, arsenic they showed immoderate existent resilience connected Sunday down Reaves’ monster game. L.A. ranks eighth successful nan NBA successful nett standing this season, and it’s 3rd successful violative standing pinch Reaves, Doncic and Deandre Ayton starring nan way.

Meanwhile, Portland squandered a crippled against Minnesota to unfastened nan play and mislaid to nan Los Angeles Clippers past night. It did rustle retired nan Golden State Warriors, but nan Blazers person immoderate questions connected their roster, particularly astatine defender pinch Scoot Henderson out. 

I don’t mind taking nan points pinch L.A. astatine location pinch some of these teams connected short rest. 

Pick: Lakers +2.5 (-110 astatine DraftKings)
