Jake LaRavia (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-125)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Lakers gear up to face the Warriors, Jake LaRavia's recent shooting form suggests betting on the under for his threes made is a smart play. Despite a solid run in his last three games, converting 100% of his attempts, LaRavia's average of just 0.4 makes from beyond the arc in away games signals a potential slowdown against Golden State's tight defense. Even when we look at his performance against the Warriors historically, he's only managed 1.8 threes per game, which feels optimistic given the current matchup. With the stakes high and the intensity ramping up, it's likely LaRavia won't find his rhythm in this hostile environment. The implied probability of 55.6% supports our case for targeting the under at 1.5 threes made. All signs point to a night where LaRavia stays below the number, making this bet a wise investment for your card.

LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 7.5 Rebounds (+103)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Lakers prepare to face the Warriors on the road, all eyes are on LeBron James and his rebounding numbers. While his overall game remains elite, there are compelling reasons to consider the under on his total rebounds set at 7.5. Over the last five games, he's averaged 7.2 boards, and when playing away, that number nudges slightly higher to 7.8. However, against Golden State, he typically pulls down just 8 boards on average-8 rebounds simply won't cut it tonight.In fact, LeBron's away hit rate shows he's gone under this mark in 12 of his last 16 road games. With the Warriors' fast-paced style often leading to fewer opportunities for him to crash the glass, it feels like a prime spot to bet against the King hitting the over this time around. The numbers align, and the narrative suggests a calculated play on the under.

Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors) Over 27.5 Points + Rebounds (-125)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

With the Warriors hosting the Lakers, targeting Stephen Curry for over 27.5 points plus rebounds feels like a savvy play. Curry has been lighting up the scoreboard lately, averaging around 24.4 points and 2.2 rebounds over his last five games. But at home, he kicks it up a notch, boosting his scoring to an impressive 20.8 points and snagging 2.8 boards. Against the Lakers, his average at home jumps to 31.2 points, a clear indication he thrives in this matchup. Historically, he's not just a scorer; he also contributes on the boards, averaging 3.4 rebounds against Los Angeles. With a hit rate of 67% over the last six games, it's tough to ignore Curry's ability to exceed the 27.5 mark when he's in front of the home crowd, especially given his anticipated performance. This game could be another showcase of his brilliance.
