Luka Doncic proved to be a solid bet for Proline players Tuesday night.
Doncic had a triple double in leading the Los Angeles Lakers past Dallas 107-99. It was Doncic’s first meeting against his former team after the Mavericks dealt the star forward to California on Feb. 2.
Doncic responded with 19 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists. It was his first triple-double as a member of the Lakers.
Eighty per cent of bettors had the Lakers winning outright while just 26 per cent had the +8.5 points with Dallas. And just 36 per cent of players correctly had the under 231.5 points.
Eighty-nine per cent of bettors took the over 31.5 total points on Doncic in the game. But a resounding 99 per cent had him over 7.5 assists while 52 per cent had him over 9.5 rebounds.
In NHL action, Toronto downed Carolina 6-3 on Saturday night. A solid 77 per cent of Proline bettors correctly picked the Leafs to beat the Hurricanes while 91 per cent had the over 5.5 goals in the game.

Then on Sunday, Toronto earned a 5-2 road win over Chicago. Eighty-five per cent of players took the Leafs to win while 89 per cent had them -1.5 on the puck line.
And 66 per cent of bettors had the game over 6.5 total goals.

There were anxious moments for some Proline players Monday as the Winnipeg Jets had to rally to force overtime before securing a 2-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks. Eighty-one per cent of bettors had Winnipeg winning the game but 50 per cent did pick the Sharks +2.5 on the puck line.
Just 10 per cent have the game under 6.5 total goals. The most popular player prop was for Winnipeg’s Mark Scheifele to score, which he did in overtime.
