Prediction
All the focus in this one will be on LeBron and his race towards history. The game does feel like it is taking a bit of a back seat.
Rightly so.
However, the game result and Lebron’s greatness will go hand in hand tonight as the Lakers go as LeBron goes.
If the King can put up another stellar performance, the Lakers should be able to take care of business tonight in Indy.
They need to, as well.
The Lakers are currently sitting 12th in the West, but are only 2.5 games out of the 8 seed in the playoff picture.
The next month will be the deciding factor in the Lakers season and luckily for them, LeBron’s chase of history ties together beautifully with the Laker’s chase of a playoff birth.
In what should be a very entertaining, fast paced game between two teams desperately needing to grab wins wherever they can find them, I am going to ride with the best player on the floor.
I see a huge night from LeBron yet again, which will lead the Lakers to a big win, as he gets one step closer to reaching the top of the Kareem mountain.
Give me the Lakers on the moneyline.

Prop of the Game
LeBron James o45.5 Points+Rebound+Assists (-105)
Did you think I was targeting anyone else? 😉
As you could have guessed, I am riding with the King here.
It was hard to figure out which stat I wanted to roll with specifically, so I just decided to chose them all and do the PRA.
This is also backed up by the data at BetAlytics
BetAlytics has LeBron scoring 37 points, grabbing 10 rebounds and recording 9.5 assists!
The matchup is perfect for the King tonight, as the Pacers allow the MOST points and the MOST assists to Power Forwards in the league.
He has also recorded 8+ rebounds in 10 straight games and has over 45 PRA in 10/L 13 games.
The matchup is perfect and with how amazing he is playing right now, chasing history, he is a MUST BET tonight.
Bonus:
Lebron James Triple Double (+550)
