Trades are circling the league with the deadline looming and stars are being dealt left and right. NBA Thursday calls for a 4-game slate headlined by NBA all-time leading scorer LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers facing off against the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Jrue Holiday’s rebounds + assists have been one of my most profitable NBA player prop bets this season, and he has another great matchup in his hometown tonight.

Jrue Holiday Over 11.5 rebounds + assists (-136)
Line available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
This line is primed to move to 12.5 by tipoff. I would advise playing that number at half a unit.
Jrue Holiday will be making his 2nd all-star appearance of his career and first since 2013 when he was a member of the Philadelphia 76ers. Alongside Antetokounmpo, Holiday has the Bucks in fighting distance of the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference even with playing most of the season without Khris Middleton. Holiday and his elite defense with be showcased on national television and will look to stuff the stat sheet.
Holiday has crushed his rebounds and assists line all season long. If he can cash this line again, it most likely will be the last time we see it at 11.5. In 20 games played on the road, Holiday is averaging 7.7 assists and 5.5 rebounds; he has gone over this line in 15 games. Monday against the Portland Trail Blazers Holiday dished out 8 assists on 13 opportunities and reeled in 4 boards. Taking a look at his last 10 games, he is over this line in 7 of them — including all 3 games against teams that rank in the top 10 in pace, which the Lakers are.
