Austin Reaves has been instrumental to the Lakers’ success as they made their push for the Postseason. He’s had excellent rapport with LeBron James, D’Angelo Russell, and especially Anthony Davis as a primary or secondary facilitator. Today, his assists prop is set at 3.5 (-165) or 4.5 (+135) and both are viable plays. While (-165) is more juice than some like to lay, the implied odds of that line are 62.26% and he’s exceeded 3.5 assists in 16 of his last 20 games (80%). At (+135) for 4.5 assists, the implied odds are just 42.5%. He’s exceeded 4.5 assists in 14 of his last 20 (70%) but 8 of his last 10 (80%). With both Rudy Gobert (suspension) and Jalen McDaniels (broken hand) missing today, the Wolves’ defense should suffer and the two-man game Reaves has with Anthony Davis should excel in tonight’s matchup.

Just the wrong match up at the wrong time. No Rudy or Naz for a bad reb team vs Lakers top 10 reb since the trade that sent DLo Vando Beasley to LA for this revenge spot. No McDaniels to defend LeBron, Lakers great D now and get to line all the time vs a team that fouls like it’s breathing. Lakers 6th in net rating since trade, Minn 22nd. Lakers by a billion
