76ers vs. Lakers prop picks: Bet on a big day from LeBron

The NBA's Sunday slate will conclude with the Philadelphia 76ers travelling to Los Angeles for a matchup with LeBron James' Lakers.

The pregame narrative is that LeBron James is shouldering a massive offensive load in the absence of Anthony Davis. Thomas Bryant has been a menace on the boards lately and Dennis Schroder isn't a reliable source of threes.

LeBron James has a PRA average of 49.2 in 11 games since Davis’ injury. James is expected to continue to put up big numbers on Sunday. The 76ers have a plus matchup against a power forward like LeBron. The odds are against LeBron James over 47.5 P RA.

Bryant is over 8.5 rebounds (-127) on this line. Since Davis has been out Bryant has made 14 starts and averaged 10.4 boards per game. Philadelphia has the NBA's fourth-worst rebounding percentage (48.1%) and Joel Embiid is averaging fewer than 10 rebounds per games for the first time since 2016-17.

Schroder under 1.5 threes (-114) is a bad bet. Schroder has hit two or more thicks just nine times in his last 25 games. The German veteran is going up against a defence that allows the sixth-lowest 3-point percentage in the NBA (34.3%) and coming off two games where he went 0-for-11 from beyond the arc.
