Luka Doncic is expected to make his Los Angeles Lakers debut tonight against the Utah Jazz (10:30 p.m. ET, ESPN), and we're breaking down his odds and best player prop bets for his first game in Los Angeles.

After one of the biggest trades in NBA history, the Lakers own the sixth-shortest NBA championship odds ahead of Doncic's potential return from injury. Here are the best Luka Doncic Lakers debut odds & player props for tonight's game at Crypto.com Arena.

Luka Doncic player props & odds for Lakers debut vs. Jazz

Doncic's Over/Under for points is set as low as 26.5 across our best NBA betting sites ahead of his Lakers debut. He's also projected for 7.5 rebounds and 7.5 assists tonight against the Jazz - both of which are below his season averages.

Here are the latest NBA odds and player props for Doncic's Lakers debut, which tips off at 10:30 p.m. ET. We also broke down this matchup further with our Jazz vs. Lakers predictions.

How many points will Luka Doncic score tonight in Lakers debut vs. Jazz?

Doncic is projected to score 27 points tonight in his Lakers debut, as his points O/U sits between 26.5 and 27.5 across our best sports betting sites. That number is below his season scoring average (28.1 PPG) and his career scoring average against the Jazz (27.1).

It's also well below his scoring projection of 29.7 points across some of the most popular NBA player projection models. Doncic scored 37 points against the Jazz in his last meeting with Utah on Nov. 14 when he was still a member of the Dallas Mavericks.

Luka Doncic Over 27.5 points (-105)

Doncic hasn't played since Christmas Day as he recovers from a calf injury and remains questionable to return tonight, so it makes sense that our best sports betting sites are playing it safe on his scoring total ahead of his potential Lakers debut.

If he does suit up, though, he should have every opportunity to exploit a struggling Jazz defense that ranks dead last in efficiency (118.4). Utah has surrendered the third-most points per game to point guards (25.8) and shooting guards (23.9), and its defense let Doncic erupt for 37 points on 25 attempts when they last faced off.

Doncic's points O/U total is 26.5 at most shops but with odds ranging from -125 to -147. I'd rather risk the extra point while betting into much more favorable odds via DraftKings.

Luka Doncic Over 7.5 assists (+105)

As a result of trading away Anthony Davis in that Doncic deal, the Lakers lack another go-to star beyond Doncic and LeBron James, who is questionable tonight with an ankle injury that sidelined him Saturday in a win over the Indiana Pacers.

If James doesn't play, Doncic should have the ball in his hands in a heliocentric role for a Los Angeles lineup that lacks a true center down low. That hurts Doncic's ability for easy lobs and dump-offs underneath, but it should help the Lakers spread the floor and maximize his unique ability to navigate space and find open shooters.

The cherry on top is this outlier price at bet365, which is offering +105 odds on a prop bet with odds ranging between -105 and -110 across most major sportsbooks.

Will Luka Doncic record a triple-double tonight? (+700)

Doncic is priced at +700 to record a triple-double tonight, which implies a 12.5% chance that he'll finish with at least 10 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists (or blocks/steals).

He's already done that in three of his 22 starts this season (13.6%) - all coming within his final six games for the Mavericks - and he nearly did so twice against the Jazz earlier this season. That's no coincidence given that Utah is among the worst at defending guards, and it doesn't help that starter Collin Sexton (ankle) is still out tonight.

If Doncic records a triple-double tonight, a winning $10 bet will return a $70 profit at FanDuel. That's a shot I'm willing to take ahead of Doncic's potential Lakers debut.
