LeBron James Best NBA Player Props vs Toronto Raptors for Nov. 10 | Betting tips and more
LeBron James and the LA Lakers host the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night to try to get their fourth win in the last five games. The matchup at Crypto.com Arena will be the second and final matchup between these teams in the 2024-25 season after the Lakers beat the Raptors 131-125 at Scotiabank Arena on Nov. 1.
After a rollercoaster of a start to the NBA season, the Lakers are trying to find consistency, especially now that their five-game road trip is over. Following their 116-106 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night, the Purple and Gold will host the 2-7 Raptors to try to win two consecutive games for the third time this season.
Anthony Davis has been the go-to guy on offense for the Lakers, but LeBron James remains a key asset. As usual, he's doing more than just scoring, helping the game in several aspects to try to secure wins.
After nine games played, James is averaging 23.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 8.1 assists per game while shooting 52.3% from the field for the 5-4 Lakers.
LeBron James player props and betting tips
Points 24.5 (over -115/ under-115): There's no clear path regarding LeBron James' points against the Raptors. He's averaging 23.7 ppg, but his numbers have changed drastically each game. In his last five matchups, he scored 26, 27, 20, 39 and 21 points, respectively. That said, he dropped 27 points the last time he faced Toronto.
Rebounds 7.5 (over -110 / under -120): James is averaging only 0.1 less rebounds than his line for this game. His 7.5 rpg is also his career average, which suggests this could be doable for the four-time NBA champion. The last three games showed that his rebounds are going up (12, seven and eight), but his most recent outing against the Raptors saw him grab six boards.
Assists 8.5 (over -145 / under +110): LeBron James' assists numbers have been even better than his rebounds. He's averaging 8.1 per game, and that number is likely to go up against the Raptors.
Steals 1.5 (over +152 / under-200): Steals haven't been James' strength this season. He's posted three combined steals in the last three games and is averaging 0.6 per game, so the under should be the best option.
Blocks 0.5 (over -120 / under -110): LeBron is averaging 0.7 blocks per game this season, but he's coming off a three-block game against Philadelphia. That number can be deceiving against Toronto.
3-pointers made 1.5 (over -190 / under +140): James has improved his 3-point shooting throughout his career. He's averaging 2.7 3-pointers made on 5.7 attempts this season. He should cover this line easily against the Raptors.
LeBron James' stats vs. Toronto Raptors
The Toronto Raptors have been one of LeBron James' favorite opponents. He boasts a 45-16 record in 61 games against the Canadian franchise, averaging 27.0 ppg, 7.1 rpg and 7.8 apg. Without Scottie Barnes and winning only two games this season, Toronto should lose its second game of the season against James and the Lakers.
