Los Angeles Lakers vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Monday, 11/03/25

We witnessed another masterpiece by Luka Doncic on Sunday night, when he led his Lakers to their 3rd consecutive win with a 29-point, 11-rebound and 10-assist triple-double. It wasn’t the usual dominance in the scoring department, but with the other 4 starters and one bench player all scoring in double-digits, Doncic didn’t have to go out and score 40 to secure the dub. Jake LaRavia stood out with 25 off the bench, while Austin Reaves continued his stellar play with 26 and 11 dimes. The Lakers might need a similar night in terms of production from those 2 players if they want to get a result in Portland on Monday.

The Trail Blazers also enter Monday’s game on a 3-game winning streak, coming off an impressive win over the Nuggets in the NBA Cup opener on Friday. So, unlike LA, they have had plenty of rest ahead of this game — which might put the Lakers in an unfair position. Efficiency hasn’t been atop of the priority list for the Blazers, but they are one of the highest-scoring NBA teams thanks to the high-tempo style they play. They are only second to the Miami Heat in terms of pace, averaging 108.4 possessions per game. This team also allows the second-fewest 3-point shot attempts in the entire NBA, forcing teams to attack the basket — which has them allowing the third-most free-throw attempts.

My only gripe with considering backing the Lakers here is potential fatigue. This will be their second game in 24 hours, plus they had to travel in between games. Portland hasn’t played since Friday and has been at home since the beginning of November. Backing the over is more appropriate given the style of play both teams have displayed so far. I’ll take the over.
