LeBron James is trading at -102 for over 6.5 assists on Tuesday, and that’s a number worth backing, as I price it much closer to -145. This projection already factors in Austin Reaves returning on a minutes restriction, so there’s no concern if he’s ultimately ruled in. The Nets simply don’t have a defender capable of handling Luka Dončić, which should force them to aggressively collapse on his initial pick-and-roll actions. That approach naturally shifts playmaking responsibilities to LeBron as a secondary creator, attacking a Nets defense that’s rotating and often out of position. With LeBron’s elite basketball IQ against a young, inexperienced defensive group, he should be able to dissect the Nets with his passing and consistently find open shooters and cutters.

Michael Porter Jr. hasn’t played since facing the Nuggets on January 29, when he dropped 38 points. Porteroften follows big offensive efforts with poor shooting displays, and he’ll quickly need to shift gears after being off the court for five days. MPJ’s projections vary, with some calling for 27 points. But most models top out below his scoring prop, with my number just flirting with 23 points.

EV Model Rating
Star rating: 4 out of 5
In regard to offense, the Nets's poor 107.1 points per game rates lowest in the NBA this year.. The matchup vs. the Los Angeles Lakers is a challenging one for shots from the field; the opposition's starting SGs have tallied the 6th-least field goal attempts per game in the league this year (11.7).. The Brooklyn Nets have played at the most lethargic pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 20 games.. The Brooklyn Nets will likely experience a decrease in plays in this contest from competing against the 7th-slowest pace visiting team in the league this year (the Lakers).. Over the last 10 games, the opposition's starting SGs have attempted 1.7 free throws per game (5th-lowest in the league) vs. the Lakers, finding it difficult to get to the charity stripe.
