As the Thunder gear up to face the Lakers, all eyes should be on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, particularly when it comes to his points and rebounds. Averaging a robust 30 points and 4.2 rebounds over his last five games, Shai has shown he can elevate his game when the stakes are high. On the road, he ups his scoring to 31 points, which is encouraging given that he's been posting around 32.4 points against the Lakers historically. What's more, he's been efficient, hitting the Over in 2 of his last 3 games away from home, where he averages 4.6 rebounds against this opponent. With the Lakers likely focused on containing him, expect Shai to not just meet, but exceed that 34.5 mark. The data suggests he's in prime form to deliver a standout performance, making this prop a compelling play.

LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-132)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Lakers gear up to face the Thunder, targeting LeBron James for under 1.5 threes made feels like a savvy play. LeBron has been in a slight slump from beyond the arc, averaging just 0.8 threes in his last five games overall and a mere 0.6 at home. While his history against the Thunder shows he's capable of hitting around 1.2 threes in Los Angeles, that's a far cry from the 1.5 mark we're betting against.Moreover, he's been remarkably consistent in recent outings, with a perfect 9-for-9 on the under in his last nine games. The Thunder defense is no slouch, either, often limiting perimeter shots. As the stakes rise, expect LeBron to drive more and look for his teammates rather than settle for outside shots. With an expected stat value of just 1.17, the under seems like a strong play in this matchup.
