With the lowly Nets in town and the Lakers laying -16.5, Luka Doncic could sit out after playing major minutes this month. Without Luka, LeBron James slides into a primary ball-handling role and with those touches comes a boost in potential assists. James has dished out 12, 10, 10 and eight assists the last four games without Doncic and his projections already sit north of seven assists - with Luka in the lineup. I like the value of grabbing this now before official news on Luka comes out.

With respect to 3-point attempts, the 10th-most aggressive offense in the NBA this year has been the Brooklyn Nets.. The matchup against Los Angeles may be a strong one for getting to the charity stripe; opposing starting SGs have attempted a monstrous 3.2 foul shots per game over the last 17 games when the Los Angeles Lakers have the home court advantage (10th-most in the NBA).

The Hornets are starting to heat up once again, and they are picking the right time to do so. They've won five straight, and now get a Sixers side that may be without Maxey once again. I'll take the team that's healthier and the one with the more efficient offense.
