LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers secured an impressive game one win against the Memphis Grizzlies to become -300 favorites in the series.

LeBron James Player Props, Picks
*Odds and projections as of Wednesday morning
There are a few ways to bet on James' props in this contest, but one of the most appealing ways, according to the numbers, is by fading him on a steals + blocks line.
James is listed at 1.5 ( -190 / +145) at BetMGM in the blocks + steals market, while our numbers have him projected at a projected 1.7. Because of the pricing on the under, that side garners an 8/10 projected rating.
Alternatively, if you're okay eating a significant amount of juice, James' steals line of 1.5 (+150 / -205) is actually getting a better rating than the former. We have James projected at 0.8 steals, so even at -205 we see value on the under.
If you're someone that strictly bets based on the numbers, that play earns a 9/10 projected rating.
As always, please bet responsibly.
