Ladies and Gentlemen I’m going to say it, the Los Angeles Lakers are in deep deep trouble. Tonight we have the Lakers taking on the Phoenix Suns and after getting smacked in Game 1, I don’t think there was enough time to make the necessary adjustments to come back here and steal Game 2 on the road.
Lots of money is going to be wagered tonight and I’m here to provide you with my best prop bets for the game.
I anticipate the Lakers will make a change to the starting lineup if it doesn’t happen tonight it will surely happen in Game 3.
The Los Angeles Lakers player to attack in the prop market tonight is Andre Drummond.
Drumond should see his minutes cut for a very simple reason: the Los Angeles Lakers play better basketball when he’s not on the court.
Drummond played a total of 19 minutes in Game 1. Look for that to get cut down even more. Andre Drummond is a lane clogger and the offense simply can’t run smooth with him on the court. The Lakers should look to put Davis at the 5 and move Drummond out of the rotation.
On WynnBET his points prop is listed at 8.5 give me Under 8.5 points (EVEN) as well as Under 16.5 combined points and rebounds (-120).
We should see a lot more Kyle Kuzma in Game 2. Although Kuzma has struggled, his points prop holds tremendous value. Kyle saw 24 minutes of action in Game 1 and should see around the same time played tonight if not even more minutes.
His current point prop sits at 6.5 and I love taking the over here. The Lakers are in desperate need of additional scoring help and Kuzma will look to provide it tonight. Kyle Kuzma over 6.5 points (EVEN) is my favorite bet of the night.
Lastly, when we look back at Game 1, Los Angeles was just simply outplayed. The guard play for the Suns will continue to give the Lakers all sorts of problems. Devin Booker was playing at a superstar level. He had his way with that defense scoring in one-on-one matchups and making the correct passes when double-teamed.
Success will continue for him and Phoenix. In order to stop Booker, the Lakers will look to keep sending doubles to take the ball out of his hands. This will lead to plenty of assists for Booker and plenty of open shots for shooters on the Suns.
For my final 2 bets tonight, I’m rolling with Devin Booker over 4.5 Assists (+176) as well as Phoenix Suns +2 (-105).
For a final recap of all bets placed tonight I am rolling with Andre Drummond Under 8.5 points +100, Under 16.5 combined points and rebounds, Kyle Kuzma over 6.5 points, Devin Booker over 4.5 Assists, and Phoenix Suns +2.
