As the Lakers prepare to host the Thunder, all eyes will be on LeBron James, but the betting spotlight should shine on his three-point shooting. Despite the hype, LeBron has been a surprisingly restrained shooter from beyond the arc lately, averaging just 0.6 threes made in his last five games, including a mere 1.2 against Oklahoma City at home. With the Thunder's defense tightening up, he's likely to focus more on playmaking and driving to the rim rather than settling for long-range shots. Historically, LeBron has hit the under on this prop in his last eight outings, making just 1.0 from downtown against Oklahoma City. The Lakers might rely on their frontcourt more, especially in a matchup that favors inside scoring. So, placing a wager on LeBron to stay under 1.5 threes made seems quite savvy.
