The Los Angeles Lakers (20-16) haven’t played in almost a week due to the fires, but they are expected to return to action on Monday when they host the San Antonio Spurs (18-19) at 10:30 p.m. ET in Crypto.com Arena.

Los Angeles (3.5-point favorite) has had plenty of time to think about its worst loss of the season, suffering a 118-97 defeat to a shorthanded Dallas Mavericks team last Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Spurs are looking to end a three-game losing skid.

Read on to discover our Spurs vs. Lakers player prop picks and odds ahead of Monday’s matchup on NBA TV.

Best Spurs vs. Lakers player prop predictions

Victor Wembanyama prop pick: Over 2.5 3-pointers ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I don’t mind parlaying Victor Wembanyama’s 3-pointers prop with an alternate scoring prop (like 20-plus points) to reduce the vig. But I expect the Spurs’ second-year center to have a strong offensive performance on Monday.

The Lakers’ defense returned to Earth during their two-game trip to Texas. In losses to the Houston Rockets and Mavericks, they allowed 32 triples.

That bodes well for Wembanyama, who can be aggressive with long-range attempts. He’s averaging 3.3 makes on 9.3 attempts from distance this season. This line is priced as high as -175 at DraftKings.

LeBron James prop pick: Over 0.5 blocks ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’m expecting a re-energized LeBron James after some extended rest. That’s been the case all season.

The last time he had six days off before a game, on Dec. 31, against the Cleveland Cavaliers, James blocked a shot while recording seven assists and 23 points. He had nine days off in early December, returning to post two blocks and one steal in a win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Dec. 15.

Betting on defensive activity is the best way to capitalize on James’ effort. A $10 bet nets a $17.50 payout at this +175 price tag.

Best odds: +175 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 36.36%

Dalton Knecht prop pick: Under 6.5 points ⭐⭐⭐

After nearly a week off and Jarred Vanderbilt’s pending return, I expect rookie Dalton Knecht to fall out of the Lakers' rotation. He’s averaging 16.3 minutes per contest this month after logging an average of 21.1 minutes in December.

Knecht has cleared this mark only twice in his last five games. Teams are making an effort to get out to him on the 3-point line, which has led to him having less of an impact in recent weeks. I don’t expect that to change against this San Antonio defense.
