The NBA season is well underway and Dale Crotty is back with his best bets for tonight's clash between the Portland Trail Blazers and the LA Lakers.
Portland Trail Blazers @ LA Lakers
The Lakers come in at 3-0, riding the back of Luka Doncic who put up 52 points against the Jazz in his last outing. The Trail Blazers are also off to a solid 2-0 start through their first two games.
Same Game Multi
Leg 1 - Ziaire Williams 8+ Points
Williams has played 30 or more minutes in each of his last two games and has hit 8+ points in 58 of 68 games when given 23 or more minutes of court time. He should see plenty of run here.
Leg 2 - Toumani Camara 10+ Points
Camara has been outstanding to open the season, scoring 18 and 19 points in his first two games. He is averaging 8.5 three-point attempts per game and is playing alongside both Damian Lillard and Ja Morant, giving him every opportunity to fill his scoring role.
Leg 3 - Luka Doncic 7+ Assists
Doncic has hit 7 or more assists in all three games this season and has done so in 80% of games where he plays 30 or more minutes over the last 60 games. He is in fine form and the assists should follow.
Z Williams 8+ / Camara 10+ / Doncic 7+ Assists @ $3.60
Value Bet
Jrue Holiday 6+ Assists @ $5.50
Holiday is coming off the bench this season but has shown he can still rack up assists. He put up 8 assists against the Kings in game 2, showing his playmaking ability remains intact regardless of his role.
