Best NBA player props: Luka Doncic vs Utah Jazz for Nov. 14 | Betting tips and more

Luka Doncic is struggling with his shot to start the season, but still averaging 28.5 points per game. Doncic has been dealing with a groin injury since the start of the campaign and is now nursing a right knee contusion. He's listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz.

Doncic is shooting 41.9%, which is a career-low, including 32.1% from beyond the arc. Oddly enough, he's making 79% of shots from the free-throw line, which is a career-high. The Dallas Mavericks are 5-6 heading into Salt Lake City, as well as losers of three in a row.

Despite the probable tag, the Mavs superstar is expected to get cleared by the team's medical staff before tip-off and play versus Utah. It's the second meeting of the season between the teams, with Dallas beating the Jazz 110-102 on Oct. 28 at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.

Luka Doncic player props and betting tips

Points 29.5 (Over +120 / Under +100): Luka Doncic is favored to score over 29.5 points. He's averaging 28.5 points this season and has scored at least 30 points three times in his last five games. Bet on Doncic to score more than 29.5 points against the 2-9 Jazz.

Rebounds 8.5 (Over -125 / Under +102): The reigning scoring champion is one of the best rebounding guards in the NBA since entering the league in 2018. He's averaging 8.1 rebounds per game this season but is favored to go over. Take the risk and bet on him to grab less than 8.5 boards since he's failed to do it four times in his last five.

Assists 8.5 (Over +105 / Under -130): Surprisingly, Luka Doncic is not favored to get more than eight assists in Utah. Doncic is coming off a six-assist game, but he's due for a bounce back in that department. Place your money on over 8.5 and reap the benefits.

Steals 1.5 (Over -127 / Under -204): The Dallas Mavericks star has never been known about his defense, but he averaged 1.4 steals per game last season. He's averaging 1.5 swipes at the moment and has a total of 11 steals in his past five games. Bet on him to get at least two steals on Thursday night.

Blocks 0.5 (Over +150 / Under +125): Luka Doncic has a total of four blocks this season, so don't overthink this prop bet. Take your money and place it on Doncic not registering a block against the Jazz.

3-Pointers Made 3.5 (Over +122 / Under -154): The five-time All-Star averaged 4.1 3-pointers made last season, which was a career-high. He's knocking down just 3.2 this season, just shy of his over/under. You can risk betting on him to hit at least four threes due to Utah's poor perimeter defense.
