Here are our early bets for tonight's Play-In game ⏬

💰 BEST BET

BET: 🔥 Lakers at the moneyline with DraftKings Sportsbook (+10000)

📈 58% probability

LA head back to Staples knowing that they need a win to keep their dreams of defending their title alive, and they'll likely have some additional help with Anthony Davis hinting in the media that he'll be good to go, despite the groin strain that would ordinarily sideline a player for multiple games during the regular season.

Hobbled or not, the boost Davis will give to the Lakers offense will be appreciated. Team that with LeBron's determination to make up for a dismal performance in Game 5, and this has all the makings of a series that is going to seven.

On most sportsbooks, you'll get odds of around -130 for the Lakers at the moneyline, but new customers with DraftKings Sportsbook can get huge boosted odds by betting just a buck on ANY team in the playoffs to win their game and if you get it right, your $1 bet will become $100!

There's not too many better ways to build your bankroll. Click here to sign up to DraftKings Sportsbook and cash in!

🧨 BEST PROP

PLAYER: LeBron James

BET: 🔥 UNDER 31.5 points with PointsBet (-110)

It's been almost three months since LeBron James scored 30 in a game, even after returning from his injury layoff. While many might be expecting an explosive performance from a point production standpoint, the trend of LeBron lately has been to act as a facilitator rather than a scorer. The Lakers can still win if James doesn't score 30. In fact, they have a better chance if he's not the one being relied on for scoring.

💥 BETMGM'S ONE GAME PARLAY

We're anticipating a tight game in this one that the league's best defense will eventually win. As mentioned above, LeBron's points total line is too high in our opinion so we have to include his Under. For some added value to top us off, Devin Booker is averaging five 3-point attempts per game in this series - making at least two of those should be no problems.

🔥 Lakers ML
🔥 Total points UNDER 207
🔥 LeBron James u31.5 points
🔥 Devin Booker 2+ Made Threes
💰 +1034 with BetMGM
