The NBA’s most anticipated game of the season is finally here as Luka Doncic prepares to make his debut with the LA Lakers against the Utah Jazz. The Jazz are hoping to spoil the celebration, but we’ve crafted a Same Game Parlay (SGP) to capture the excitement of Doncic’s first appearance. Here’s what to expect:

1. Luka Doncic to record 8+ assists (+115)
After a calf injury, Doncic might focus more on distributing the ball rather than driving to the basket, making him a prime candidate for this bet. The Lakers have been impressive offensively, ranking 6th in efficiency over their last 10 games. Doncic, who averaged 7.8 assists before his injury, has been even better against the Jazz, posting 10.4 assists in their last five matchups.

2. LeBron James to make 2+ threes (-220)
At 40 years old, LeBron James continues to defy expectations, making multiple threes in 14 of his last 20 games, with a remarkable 44.9% shooting from beyond the arc. Facing the Jazz’s weak defense, which has struggled against three-pointers, James is likely to hit at least two. His previous matchups against the Jazz have shown his ability to perform in this area.

3. Jordan Clarkson over 18.5 points (+102)
The Jazz, with little pressure on their performance, should allow Clarkson to play a freer, more aggressive game. Clarkson has been in great form recently, averaging 20.2 points per game over his last six outings. With the Lakers’ defensive struggles, particularly inside, Clarkson could surpass this line, especially after scoring 18 points against LA earlier this season.

Total Odds: +436

This parlay combines key player performances to highlight Doncic’s debut, LeBron’s shooting form, and Clarkson’s offensive surge, providing solid value at +436 odds.
