Our Lakers vs. Spurs NBA player props based on the best NBA odds believe rookie Victor Wembanyama will put on a show in a nationally televised game against Los Angeles.
Turn your attention to NBA TV on Wednesday night, as we should be getting our first-ever matchup between LeBron James and rookie Victor Wembanyama when the San Antonio Spurs (3-19) host the Los Angeles Lakers (15-10) at Frost Bank Center. Tipoff is slated for 8 p.m. ET.
Wembanyama, who was drafted by the Spurs with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, has been labeled the best prospect since James was the top pick in 2003. Will the 7-foot-4 big man put on a show against a Los Angeles team coming off an In-Season Tournament championship?
Here are our best Lakers vs. Spurs NBA player props and NBA picks (odds via our
best NBA betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
Lakers vs. Spurs NBA player props
Because the statuses of both Anthony Davis and LeBron James are up in the air following Tuesday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks, our best sports betting sites have prop markets for only Spurs players at this time. We will continue to add picks as more markets become available.
That said, you are kidding yourself if you think we weren't going to take the Over on Wembanyama's blocks prop. There has been a bit of an adjustment period for Wembanyama on the offensive end while playing for a Spurs team that has lost 17 games in a row, but he's been one of the top shot-blockers in the league since Day 1.
Wembanyama is tied with Brook Lopez of the Milwaukee Bucks for the league lead in blocks per game at 2.8. Over his last 10 outings, he's averaging 3.7 blocks and has cleared this mark in four of his last five games.
The Lakers are not a strong shooting team, which is why they live at the rim. According to ShotQuality, Los Angeles is fourth in the league in frequency of shots at the rim. Even if Davis is unable to go, that will likely still be a big part of this offense. As such, Wembanyama should have plenty of opportunities to swat a few shots.
But the best part about this pick is the value we are getting at ESPN BET, which is offering +100 odds. The rest of the market is offering minus-odds, including a price as rich as -115 at bet365. As long as we can get a +100 ticket, this is worth a play ahead of Wednesday's matchup.
