Luka Doncic Points Prop is currently Over/Under 32.5 (-125/-105).
Key Factors
Favors Over
Luka Doncic has registered a terrific 31.9 points per game this year, significantly more than his 28.4 points per game last year.
In regard to shooting, the Lakers's outstanding 117.8 points per game when playing at home ranks 9th-strongest in the NBA over the last 25 games.
The Lakers are expected to see a spike in possessions in this game from being pitted against the 10th-most up-tempo pace away offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Kings).
Favors Under
The matchup against Sacramento is a difficult one; when the Sacramento Kings are the visiting squad, they have given up the 3rd-least points per game in the NBA to opposing starting PGs this year (15.2).
The 6th-least up-tempo pace-of-play team in the league over the last 5 games has been the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Los Angeles Lakers check in as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
This year when they have the home court advantage, the opposition's starting PGs have attempted 3.3 foul shots per game (8th-fewest in the league) against the Sacramento Kings, facing an uphill battle to draw fouls.
