Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When it comes to Stephen Curry, home games are where magic happens, and this matchup against the Sacramento Kings is no exception. In his last five outings, Curry has been sizzling, averaging just a shade under 29 points per game, with a remarkable home hit rate of 14 out of 19. The Kings have struggled to contain his scoring, allowing him to drop an average of 23.6 points against them at home. With the stakes high and the playoff race heating up, you can expect Curry to rise to the occasion like only he can. His expected stat value hovers around 28.89, suggesting that not only is the over on 19.5 points achievable, it's practically a foregone conclusion. With his current form and the friendly confines of the Chase Center on his side, betting on Curry to eclipse that mark feels like a slam dunk.

LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 9.5 Assists (-139)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Lakers gear up to face the Thunder, all eyes will be on LeBron James, and not just for his scoring prowess. However, with the assist line set at 9.5, there's a compelling case for taking the under. Over his last five games, LeBron has averaged 8.6 assists, and at home, that number dips slightly to 7.6. He's also faced the Thunder recently, averaging just 5.6 assists against them, which drops to 6.6 when playing at home.This matchup favors a more scoring-centric LeBron, especially with the Lakers' offensive focus likely shifting to capitalize on the Thunder's vulnerabilities. Recent trends show he's hit the under in 16 of his last 20 games, with an impressive 8 out of 9 at home. Given these insights, it seems prudent to expect LeBron to fall short of that 9.5 mark against Oklahoma City.

Luke Kennard (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 19.5 Points + Assists (-106)

As the Lakers gear up to face the Thunder, Luke Kennard's scoring and playmaking might not make the impact many expect. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 9.6 points and 3.6 assists-numbers that fall significantly short of the 19.5 line we're eyeing. When playing at home, his contributions drop even further, with averages of only 6.4 points and 1.6 assists. Against the Thunder, Kennard's history is underwhelming too; he's managed just 4.6 points and 2.8 assists at home in their recent matchups. His overall hit rate shows a striking trend-only 2 out of his last 20 performances have seen him exceed this mark, including a remarkable 19 out of 20 at home. With those numbers in mind, taking the under on Kennard feels like a smart move in this matchup.
