LeBron, Giannis And Kawhi NBA Playoff Scoring Proposition Betting Odds To Win
The three best NBA players in the game today are on a first name basis with bettors. LeBron James is the front man for the Los Angeles Lakers. Giannis Antetokounmpo is primed to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to their first NBA Championship since 1971. Kawhi Leonard joined the LA Clippers after leading Toronto to last year’s league title.
What Are The Best NBA Playoff Scoring Proposition Wagers For LeBron, Giannis And Kawhi?
One thing is for sure. All three of these players will play a prominent role in how the restart of the 2019/2020 NBA plays out over the coming weeks.
The league’s official restart is set for Thursday, July 30 with a pair of games on the slate. The Utah Jazz will face the New Orleans Pelicans at 6:30 p.m. (ET) on TNT. The nightcap is a battle for Los Angeles between the Clippers and the Lakers on TNT at 9 p.m.
This initial doubleheader kicks off a quick eight-game regular season schedule. This is designed to set the final seeding for the upcoming playoffs. All the games will be played in Orlando. This is part of the NBA’s efforts to keep players safe and healthy in light of COVID-19.
NBA Sportsbook Future’s Betting Board
Going to MyBookie’s NBA futures board, LeBron and the Lakers are set as +130 favorites to win the Western Conference. The Bucks’ betting odds to win the Eastern Conference title are the best on the board at -200.
Moving to the betting odds to win this season’s NBA title, the Lakers also get the nod at +175. Milwaukee is second on that list at +280. Kawhi and the Clippers are the other NBA team that can keep things interesting. Their odds to win it all are set at +300.
MyBookie online sportsbook has also released a full set of player props covering the postseason. At the top of that list are OVER/UNDER odds for average points scored. Here is a look at those odds for this trio of superstars.
Average NBA Playoff Points
- Lebron James: OVER 27 ½ points -130 UNDER 27 ½ points -110
- Giannis Antetokounmpo: OVER 30 points -130 UNDER 30 points -110
- Kawhi Leonard: Over 28 points -125 UNDER 28 points -115
All of these numbers are close to each player’s scoring average this season. James averaged the fewest of the three at 25.7 points per game. This was the 11th highest average in the league. Leonard was next on the list at No. 8 with an average of 26.9 PPG.
Giannis was the third-highest on the list behind Houston’s James Harden (34.4 PPG) and Washington’s Bradley Beal (30.5 PPG). The Greek Freak averaged 29.6 points over 57 games played.
There are certain reasons to bet the OVER or UNDER for each of these players. My betting strategy would be to go OVER on all three.
My top reason is the belief that offense is going to take precedence over the defense during this NBA postseason. The next reason is the dominance of all three of these players with a title on the line.
