Plus Money Offered For Doncic, Davis Double-Doubles

One of the best valued NBA betting specials for this matchup being offered on Bovada is for Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis to each record a double-double against their former team.

Luka Doncic & Anthony Davis To Each Record Double-Double

Yes +170

There is no reason that plus money should be offered here, but bettors should be running away with this opportunity to cash out as all signs are pointing towards both of them having double-doubles.

Starting with Luka, he flirts with triple-doubles on a nightly basis and has recorded 11 double-doubles in his 26 games with the Lakers to this point. That includes a 19/15/12 outing against the Mavs back in late February.

Dallas has also been on an insane stretch of allowing multiple players on opposing teams to put up double-doubles with seven straight games in doing so.

As for Anthony Davis, he has a much smaller sample size of playing for the Mavs with just seven games played. In those seven games, he’s recorded two double-doubles. Before being traded though, he’s been averaging a double-double all season with 25 ppg and 11.6 rpg.

The Lakers also do not have much size or depth in the frontcourt to challenge AD with the likes of Jaxson Hayes, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Dorian Finney-Smith rotating in the paint for the Lakers.
