Surprise, surprise — Luka Doncic isn’t playing much defense.
The Lakers have tried to hide their new star player on Jaden McDaniels throughout this first-round series against the Timberwolves, and it hasn’t exactly gone well.

Timberwolves vs. Lakers betting preview
Doncic has spent more than 23 minutes defending McDaniels through four games — by far the most of any Laker — and the Washington product has feasted.
McDaniels has scored 31 points on 13-of-21 shooting and 3-of-5 from 3 when Doncic is on him.
Overall, McDaniels is playing about as well offensively as he ever has.
He’s averaging 19.8 points — more than seven points higher than his regular season average — on 57.9 percent shooting and 42.9 percent from deep.
Even with the match up and his performance so far this series, McDaniels’ points prop is sitting at just 13.5 as of this writing.
Betting on the NBA?
He’s topped this number in three of four games, and with no where else to put Doncic, McDaniels should have the upper hand once again.
The play: Jaden McDaniels Over 13.5 points (-115, Caesars Sportsbook)
