Prop Bets: Los Angeles Lakers VS Charlotte Hornets 2025-11-10
Lakers to Roll Past Hornets, Luka to Dishing Assists Like It’s a Party
The Los Angeles Lakers (-8.5, -325 ML) are poised to cover the spread against the Charlotte Hornets (+260 ML) in a mismatch of proportions. With LeBron James sidelined and Austin Reaves questionable, you’d think this’d be a trap game… for the Hornets, that is. The Lakers’ 4-1 road record and 12th-ranked offense (114.2 offensive rating) will exploit Charlotte’s 24th-ranked defense, which allows 116.3 points per game. Plus, Luka Doncic is on a tear, averaging 10.3 assists over his last three games—bet the Over on his 8.5 assists prop (-130). The Hornets, missing LaMelo Ball and Co., rank 27th in opponent assists (28.7 per game), so Luka’s dishing should keep the party going.
Why the Lakers Win:
- Luka’s Leadership: Even without LeBron, Luka’s 9.5 assists per game (95th percentile) and 25.6 PPG will dominate.
- Hornets’ Absences: Charlotte’s starting five is decimated—LaMelo, Miles Bridges, and Brandon Miller out—leaving a sieve for the Lakers to shoot through.
- Over/Under 231.5: Bet the Over (-110). The Lakers average 118.5 PPG; Charlotte’s porous D? A recipe for fireworks.
Prop Pick: Luka Doncic Over 8.5 Assists (-130). With Charlotte’s assist-allowing ways, Luka’s got nothing but net to look for.
Final Score Prediction: Lakers 122, Hornets 108. Cover the spread and Luka dishes 10+ dimes. 🏀🔥
