Advice and prediction
Anytime Durant isn’t playing, the over on Irving’s points prop is in play. He has hit the over on BetMGM‘s prop for Thursday’s game in three of his last four without Durant. Not to mention, it’s a national TV game and Irving going against his old teammate, LeBron James.
Joe Harris’ scoring prop isn’t always an easy one, but with Los Angeles’ interior defense, Brooklyn will need to look to him a lot; and they should feeling comfortable with doing so — he’s shooting 51.1% from three this month.
Prediction: Lakers 128, Nets 121
UPDATE: Irving and Luwawu-Cabarrot have both been cleared to play against the Lakers.
