The 40-point prop action is likely thanks to a comment Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks made about James after jawing back and forth with him throughout Game 2.
“I don’t care, he’s old,” Brooks said, per USA Today. “I poke bears. I don’t respect no one until they come and give me 40 (points). I pride myself on what I do on defense and taking any challenge on the board.”
James scored a game-high 28 points in Game 2 but it was not enough to lead the team to a 2-0 lead and bring them back home with a chance to close out the Griz. James claims he is not bothered by Brooks’ taunts or smack talk, instead channeling his focus into the game on Saturday night.
“I don’t want to talk much more. Tomorrow’s going to be a great game. I’m not here for the (expletive). I’m ready to play, and that’s it,” he said.
Based on the latest Grizzlies-Lakers betting trends, the vast majority of the public is looking for LeBron to shut Brooks up on Saturday night, with the Davis props also serving as a potential liability for the sportsbooks.
