Prop Pick
The Indiana Pacers are the NBAās highest-scoring team, but theyāre also second from behind when it comes to defense. These guys are conceding 123.1 points per game on average.
This is great news for Denverās points leader Nikola Jokic whoās looking to up his numbers. His season average is 26.1 PPG, but heād love to increase that number. The center has been in a scoring mood lately, scoring 42 in his last game.
It happened against the Washington Wizards, who are the NBAās worst defense. Thatās why we expect to see him do something similar against the leagueās second-worst defense.

Prop Pick
You may think that the Nikola Jokic prop bet is too risky with the odds of +317, which is why weāve got one much safer bet for you. Our prop pick for the Battle of LA is that the Lakersā points leader Anthony Davis will do better than the Clippersā highest scorer Kawhi Leonard.
Davis has been playing really great since the start of the year, even though he had some problems with his ankle. Now, heās 100% fit and we expect him to do really great.

We also think that the Lakers are good enough defensively to stop the Clippers from scoring too much. Davis, LeBron, and others should be able to keep Leonard to a relatively low number of points. In the previous Lakers vs. Clippers duel, he scored 15 points, while Davis put away seven more. We think something similar will happen tonight as well.
