The spread for Lakers-Spurs tonight sits at just three points. That tells you all you need to know of who will be suiting up for the Lakers. On the second leg of a back-to-back and LeBron James and Anthony Davis playing 40 and 36 minutes, the books don’t expect either to play tonight. Let’s dive into the best Victor Wembanyama player prop odds for tonight as we look to identify the best bet for tonight’s Lakers-Spurs game.

Best Lakers-Spurs Player Prop Today: Victor Wembanyama
I will be begging the San Antonio Spurs to keep this game close. They’ve lost 17 games in a row. That isn’t a typo. But they have a real shot to end that streak tonight. The Los Angeles Lakers will be playing in their second leg of a back-to-back tonight, and many expect LeBron James and Anthony Davis not to suit up. Last night, James played 40 minutes, while Davis logged 36. This is all after they hoisted the first in-season tournament trophy in history. If there’s ever a game to suit the two, it’s tonight. That bodes well for the Spurs and our guy, Victor Wembanyama, our top player prop bet for Lakers-Spurs.
Victor Wembanyama has been a menace on the boards the last two games. He leads the league in rebound chances during that span with 26.5 per game. He produced 38 total rebounds over that span. Being 7-foot-4 and having a massive wingspan helps — it will be used to his advantage tonight if Davis doesn’t suit up and the Lakers start Jaxson Hayes at the five.
We also have to mention the fact the Spurs frontcourt is depleted. Charles Bassey recently tore his ACL and is out for the season. Backup big man Zach Collins played in just 13 minutes in the last game, while Wembanyama played more than his season average of 30 minutes.
The market is all over the place with this prop. You can find 12+ rebounds at FanDuel at -140, while the rest of the books have settled at -160. I expect this prop to close to 12.5, with vig on the over. Look for alternative lines to find 11.5, or scale down to half a unit if 12.5 is your only option.
