Austin Reaves (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 34.5 Points + Rebounds (-125)

As the Lakers head to Dallas, all eyes will be on Austin Reaves, but backing him for more than 34.5 combined points and rebounds seems like a stretch. Sure, he's been productive lately, averaging about 20.8 points and 4.4 rebounds over his last five games. However, away from home, those numbers dip slightly to 21.6 points and 3.8 rebounds. The Mavericks have a knack for tightening up against opponents, and Reaves has struggled in previous matchups, averaging just 13 points and 3.4 rebounds when playing in Dallas. With an overall hit rate of 10 for 10 recently, it's tempting to think he'll keep that up, but the road tends to be less forgiving.
