Anthony Davis over 40.5 points+rebounds (-115)

Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.

Anthony Davis has carried the Lakers with LeBron James out. After two down games for him against the Raptors and Knicks, Davis roared back with 35 points and 17 rebounds against the Pelicans on Tuesday. Davis has scored at least 28 points in 6 of the last 8 games and has at least 10 rebounds in 12 of the last 16 games. The Lakers center has gone over this total in 6 of his last 8 games and gets a matchup against a Mavericks defense that is bottom 10 since the all-star break and has struggled to defend the paint, where Davis scores most of his points. The teams met just last month and Davis had 30 points and 15 rebounds, shooting 12-for-20 from the field.

Patrick Beverley over 8.5 rebounds+assists (+100)

Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.

Beverley has gone over this total in 7 of 9 games since joining the Bulls. He had 11 rebounds and 3 assists against the Kings on Wednesday and had 10 rebounds and 5 assists in the prior game. Tonight, the Bulls guard goes up against Minnesota, one of his former teams. The Timberwolves have allowed the 9th-most rebounds and assists to point guards over the last 15 games. Beverley has at least 10 assists+rebounds in 5 of his last 7 games and has gone over in rebounds alone in each of the last 2 games. Minnesota is 4th in pace, which should give Beverley more opportunities to add to his stats.

Lock in this Patrick Beverley prop at DraftKings Sportsbook, which has the best available odds at +100 and has a great sign-up offer where you can bet $5 and instantly get $200 in bonus bets! Click here to take advantage and get your bonus bets right now.
