LeBron James O/U 9.5 Assists: NBA Player Props Best Bets

LeBron James will take on LaMelo Ball in one of the most anticipated games of the year. The Hornets are sizable underdogs tonight, which isn’t much of a surprise. Friday marks their second game in as many nights, coming from the NBA’s toughest road environment (Denver) before heading into Los Angeles. Our model points to value on one of LeBron’s NBA player props, but it favors the under.

NBA Player Props & Betting Picks: LeBron James O/U 9.5 Assists

LeBron James’ Assists Projections

Using Awesemo’s NBA Betting Player Props tool, we can see that James is projected for 8.41 assists. That’s a full assist under where the sportsbooks have set his line, making this an intriguing prop pick for tonight’s matchup.

James is averaging exactly eight assists per game this season, which also points to value on the under. While he has gone over in his last three games — all of the ones played since the All-Star Break — LeBron had gone over just once in the 10 games before that stretch. He may regress toward his season-long mean tonight.
