LeBron James Scoring Props & Trends

Knowing how to bet James' point total each night is another way to get value as he gets close to the record. This season, James has gone over his point total in 23 of his 43 games.

Sportsbooks are adjusting based on different factors and it's likely his props will be inflated as he gets closer. Here's a look at his over/under splits in different scenarios.

LeBron Over/Unders by Point Range

• 24.5 Points or Less: 2-0
• 25.5-29.5 Points: 10-12
• 30.5 Points or More: 11-8

Sportsbooks have been setting James' points prop at or above 30 points with regularity since Dec. 30. His prop has been as high as 33.5 points this season and he has gone over that number once (37 points vs. the Trail Blazers) and under three times.

LeBron Over/Unders by Days of Rest

• 3+ Days between games: 1-1
• 2 Days between games: 5-5
• 1 Day between games: 14-12
• 0 Days between games: 3-2

James has been on the injury report all season with a sore ankle, so he's not always a lock to play each night (not to mention, he's 38 years old and in his 20th season).

Early in the season, James rested on the second night of a back-to-back more frequently, but after Davis' injury, James has played in three of four back-to-back sets.

The team has found spots for him to rest — he sat out their road game in Denver on Jan. 9 and in Brooklyn on Jan. 30 — but the Lakers don't have any back-to-back games until the end of February.

LeBron Over/Unders With or Without Star Teammates

Type over or under into the search to see LeBron's splits.

With the Lakers' top three players all healthy, James' points prop was listed at 27 points on average and he went over his prop in 11 of those 24 games.

In the two games in which James played and Russell Westbrook was inactive, James went 1-1 on his over/under. In 19 games without Davis playing, James has gone over his points prop 12 times.

Should You Bet LeBron's Points Prop Tonight?

Thanks to Action Network's player prop projections, we can use data to determine if there is any significant betting value on James' prop each night.

James' points prop is as high as 33.5 points, which is the highest number we've tracked for him this season. If it closes at that number and both James and Davis play, it would be his highest prop line this season with both stars active. In four games with his points prop listed at 33.5, the under is 3-1.
