Rui Hachimura (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 2.5 Threes Made (-189)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Rui Hachimura's recent performance suggests that targeting the Under on his three-pointers made is the smart play in this matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Over his last five games, he's consistently fallen short of the 2.5 mark, averaging just 1.2 threes per game overall and at home. This trend holds steady against the Thunder, where he's managed just one three-pointer in their last encounter at home.Moreover, while the Lakers are poised for a strong showing, Hachimura's role has shifted, seeing him focus more on driving to the basket rather than settling for outside shots. With only one out of his last ten games reaching that 2.5 threshold, it's clear his recent form doesn't support the expectation of him hitting three or more tonight. At an implied probability of 65.4%, taking the Under feels like a savvy bet that aligns nicely with the current narrative surrounding Hachimura's game.

When the Lakers face off against the Thunder, Rui Hachimura's recent performance suggests that betting on him to finish under 19.5 points and rebounds is a savvy move. Over the last five games, he's averaged just 12.2 points and 3.6 rebounds-far shy of that threshold. At home, those numbers dip even further to 11.4 points and 3 rebounds. Historically, Hachimura has struggled against the Thunder, averaging only 9.6 points in their encounters, and even less when playing at home (8.4). The stats tell a compelling story: he's hit the under in 17 of his last 20 games, with an impressive 11 out of the last 13 at home. With the Lakers looking to other scoring options, it seems likely that Hachimura will continue this trend, making the under not just a reasonable bet, but a smart one.

While the King remains a dominant force, his recent averages suggest a more subdued night is on the horizon. Over his last five games, he's been contributing 18.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 8.6 assists-totaling just around 34.2. When facing the Thunder at home, he's averaged about 23.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 6.6 assists, which still falls shy of our target.Moreover, his hit rate is telling; he's gone under this projection in 17 of his last 20 outings, and a remarkable 9 of 10 at home.
