The Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks shook the NBA world when Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis traded places. On Monday, Doncic is slated to don the Purple and Gold for the first time.
The pregame narrative: There are blockbuster trades and then there’s this. Doncic — a perennial MVP candidate — joins a red-hot Lakers squad with championship aspirations. L.A. is a sizeable home favourite against the Utah Jazz and I expect him to show out.
Check out these Luka Doncic props for the Feb. 10 matchup against the Jazz.

Best Doncic prop bet
Best bet: Over 14.5 rebounds and assists (-108)
It’ll take a while before we know how Doncic truly fits into this Lakers squad. But the Slovenian can stuff the stat sheet in more ways than one and that’s what I want to tap into.
He’s an elite passer and should hoover up defensive boards as L.A. looks to move in transition. Doncic has averaged north of 7.5 rebounds and 7.5 assists in each of the last four seasons.
I’m bullish on Doncic clearing his 6.5 assist total but have some hesitancy with LeBron James’ passing abilities.
Maybe LeBron will be the primary facilitator and Luka will go pure-scorer mode. Again, we’ll have to wait and see. Also, the -150 odds aren’t that nice.
In the rebounding department, Doncic should feast since Los Angeles has no true centre after the Mark Williams deal fell through.
Right now, an inexperienced Jaxson Hayes (5.5 RPG) is slated at the No. 5.
Doncic cleared this line in six of his last seven full games with the Mavericks, landing on exactly 14 rebounds/assists in the outlier. Last year, he had 49 double-doubles in 70 games.
Knowing the 25-year-old’s skill set, this seems like a solid bet.
Pick as of 3:55 p.m. ET on 02/10/2025.
