There’s been one guarantee in the prop bet market over the last few weeks, and that’s been the OVER on Coby White’s points, rebounds and assists prop. 

I have a pick for the Chicago Bulls guard on Wednesday night in the team’s matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers, as well as an under-the-radar pick for the Bulls tonight.

Let’s dive into tonight’s picks: 

Best NBA prop bets today for Lakers vs. Bulls

  • Coby White OVER 33.5 points, rebounds and assists
  • LeBron James OVER 16.5 assists and rebounds
  • Chicago Bulls 1Q Moneyline vs. Los Angeles Lakers

Coby White OVER 33.5 points, rebounds and assists

Is there much more to say about Coby White? He’s cleared his PRA prop in nine straight games, and I’m going back to the well tonight. 

Over this nine-game stretch, White is averaging 25.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game. He’s cleared 33.5 PRA in eight of those nine contests (landed on 33 in the one he fell short). 

LeBron James OVER 16.5 assists and rebounds

LeBron James is back to stuffing the stat sheet for the Lakers, putting up 17, 21 and 22 rebounds and assists in his last three games. 

LeBron should be in line for a big game against Chicago who ranks in the bottom 10 in the NBA in rebounding percentage this season. The Bulls are also 26th in the league in opponent assists per game. 

I expect a big game from James after the Lakers lost to the New York Knicks in their last game at home. 

Chicago Bulls 1Q Moneyline vs. Los Angeles Lakers

It’s been well-documented that the Lakers are one of the worst teams in the NBA in the first quarter this season.

Los Angeles ranks just 28th in the league in net rating in the first quarter, one spot behind the bulls (27th). 

However, the Lakers have a -20.2 net rating in the first quarter on the road compared to the Bulls -9.3 net rating in the first quarter at home. 

I think Chicago is worth a shot as an underdog in this prop.
