Best Player Prop Bets and Predictions for Lakers vs. Hawks
Player props are a popular way to get involved in NBA betting action, and we’ve highlighted two of the best player prop bets for Lakers vs. Hawks in our predictions below using basketball betting insights and trends from Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook’s Stats Hub:
Nickeil Alexander-Walker Over 19.5 Points (-125)
Nickeil Alexander-Walker has really begun to develop into a very good NBA player for the Hawks. After not being a regular starter for much of his career, something seemed to click for Alexander-Walker when he finished sixth in Sixth Man of the Year voting in 2024-25 with Minnesota before winning the Most Improved Player Award last season in his first year with Atlanta.
Alexander-Walker started a career-high 71 games in 2025-26, averaging a career-high 33.4 minutes and 20.8 points per game. It was a breakout season for Alexander-Walker, who’s continued that success through the first 11 games of the 2026-27 campaign.
The Stats Hub notes that Alexander-Walker has scored 20 or more points in each of the Hawks’ last four games. He’s averaging 27 points per game during that stretch and a career-best 22.1 points per game so far this season.
- Nickeil Alexander-Walker Over 19.5 Points (-125)
Walker Kessler Over 10.5 Rebounds (-135)
Walker Kessler has been a very good addition for the Lakers after spending the first four years of his career in Utah. The Atlanta native will be playing in his hometown Monday night, which could provide some extra motivation for this matchup.
The Stats Hub notes that Kessler has recorded 13 or more rebounds in each of his last four appearances against Eastern Conference opponents. Overall, the Lakers’ big man has grabbed 12 or more rebounds in five of his last six games, including a season-high 16 against Detroit on Sunday.
Kessler is averaging 10.9 rebounds per game this season, and Atlanta is allowing the ninth-most rebounds per game to opponents.
- Walker Kessler Over 10.5 Rebounds (-135)

Lakers vs. Hawks Preview for Nov. 9
No Luka, no problem. The Lakers extended their winning streak to five games with a 121-116 victory over Detroit on Sunday to begin a four-game road trip.
Austin Reaves stepped up in Dončić’s absence, scoring a game-high 43 points on 51.9% shooting, including 4-for-6 from three-point range. Walker Kessler recorded a double-double, Jarred Vanderbilt grabbed 10 rebounds, and both Ziaire Williams and Collin Sexton scored 17 points off the bench.
Dončić is off the Lakers’ injury report and is expected to return Monday night after missing Sunday’s game against Detroit. However, Reaves is now listed as questionable with an illness, while Quentin Grimes has been ruled out with a finger injury. Be sure to monitor Reaves’ status as tip-off approaches.
The Hawks enter Monday’s action fourth in the Eastern Conference after a shaky start to the season. They began the year 2-0 but then lost four of their next five games. However, Atlanta is rolling right now, having won four straight games heading into this matchup.
Granted, those four wins came against Indiana, Washington twice, and Brooklyn, so Monday night’s game against the Lakers will be a much bigger test for this Hawks team. Nonetheless, four wins in a row is still impressive, and Atlanta will look to keep its momentum going at home before beginning a three-game road trip later this week.
