This total has not adjusted from Games 3 and 4, both cashing their Overs. Given the desperation that LA needs to show, this Over is a no-brainer. Its defense has been lackluster since Luka Doncic fully entered the rotation, ranking No. 17 in defensive rating from March 1 to the end of the regular season, now allowing three Minnesota Team Total Overs in four games. So LA’s offense needs to pick up the slack. Luka and LeBron should take that upon themselves. The pair combined for 65 points in Game 4, and there are no signs of the generous whistle slowing down for LeBron after he took 18 free throws in that last-minute loss. Meanwhile, Luka keeps chucking from deep, going 5-of-12 on Sunday.
