Prop Bets: Los Angeles Lakers VS Atlanta Hawks 2025-11-08
The Hawks vs. Lakers: A Comedy of Errors (or Luka’s Grand Finale)
The Atlanta Hawks, missing Trae Young and leaning on Dyson Daniels and Kristaps Porzingis, host the Los Angeles Lakers, who are riding a five-game winning streak despite LeBron James being out. The odds? The Lakers are favored at -4.5 with a moneyline of -150 to -155, while the Hawks are a +350 to +370 underdog. The total is set at 228.5, and the implied probability? The Lakers have a 61.8% chance to win, while the Hawks hover at 42.4%.
But let’s not get too serious. This is basketball, not a math test. The Hawks are like a broken calculator—pressing buttons and hoping for a miracle. Their star? Jalen Johnson, who’s averaging 20.6 PPG and has a 21.5-point prop (even though "over" is a -113 bet—because why not?). The Lakers? They’ve got Luka Doncic, who’s been dropping 35.5-point props like it’s confetti at a parade. His 35.5-point over/under is at -125 to -110, so if you’re betting, you’re basically paying to watch him flex.
Key Props to Bet on Like Your Job Depends on It:
- Luka Doncic: Over 35.5 points (-115 to -125). He’s averaged 40 PPG this season. Bring it.
- Jalen Johnson: Under 21.5 points (-113). The Hawks’ "star" is a mirage.
- Total Points: Under 228.5 (-115 to -110). The Hawks’ offense is about as efficient as a toaster in a wind tunnel.
Why the Lakers Will Win (Because Math):
The Lakers’ Deandre Ayton is a rebounding beast (9.5 RPG) and has a 15.5-point prop. The Hawks? They’re hoping Kristaps Porzingis can hit three-pointers like he’s in a arcade game. The spread? The Lakers are -4.5 favorites, and their 61.8% implied win probability isn’t just a number—it’s a guarantee.
Final Verdict:
The Hawks will lose, Luka will score 40, and Jalen Johnson will miss his prop by one point. Bet the Lakers. And maybe take the under. And definitely laugh at the absurdity of the Hawks’ roster.
Prediction: Lakers 118, Hawks 105. And no, it won’t be close.
