Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we gear up for Friday's clash between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers, it's hard to overlook Jake LaRavia's recent shooting struggles, especially in away games. Averaging just 0.4 three-pointers on the road lately, his numbers don't inspire confidence, particularly against a Warriors team that excels defensively.While LaRavia might have had a solid run against the Lakers at home with 1.8 threes, the context shifts when he's on the road. His overall three-point accuracy dips, and the pressure of playing at Chase Center can be daunting. Despite a perfect hit rate in his last three outings, those came at home, where he's far more comfortable. With an expected stat value of just 1 and a hit rate of 9/9 away from home, it's reasonable to lean towards the under on LaRavia's 1.5 threes made. Trust the data; this could be a tough night for him

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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Lakers face off against the Warriors, targeting LeBron James for under 7.5 rebounds feels like a savvy play. While LeBron has been a rebounding machine throughout his career, he's been trending downward lately, averaging just 7.2 rebounds over his last five games. On the road, that number bumps slightly to 7.8, but against Golden State, he's only managed an average of 8 rebounds in their recent matchups-under his current line. Even more compelling is his away performance, where he's hit the under 12 times in his last 16 games. With the Warriors boasting a lineup that can stretch the floor, LeBron might find himself more engaged in perimeter play rather than crashing the boards. Given these dynamics, betting the under on LeBron feels like a strategic choice, especially as he looks to conserve energy for the playoff push.

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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Golden State Warriors host the Los Angeles Lakers, all eyes are on Stephen Curry, especially with the prop bet set at over 27.5 points and rebounds. Curry has a knack for stepping up in big games, and his recent performances bear that out. In his last six outings, he's hit this mark four times, showcasing his ability to dominate the court when it matters most.What's particularly intriguing is his impressive home form against the Lakers. Averaging a robust 31.2 points and 1.8 rebounds in these matchups at Chase Center, Curry's offensive prowess shines brightest on his home turf. With an expected stat value of 31.32, the numbers suggest he's primed for another standout performance. Given his recent rhythm and the stakes of this matchup, betting on Curry to surpass 27.5 seems not just reasonable but downright enticing.
