LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 33.5 Points + Assists (-108)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Lakers host the Thunder, all eyes will be on LeBron James, but a closer look at the numbers suggests a compelling case for betting the under on his combined points and assists at 33.5. Over his last five games, LeBron has averaged just 18.4 points and 8.6 assists, translating to a total of 27-well below our target. At home, his numbers dip slightly, with averages of 16.8 points and 7.6 assists. Even against the Thunder, who he's traditionally fared well against, his output of 23.2 points and 6.6 assists at home still keeps him shy of that threshold. With an impressive hit rate of 19 out of the last 20 games going under and a perfect 10 for 10 at home, it seems LeBron's game may not be as explosive as some expect. This matchup has all the makings for a quieter night for the King.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

On Wednesday night, as the Los Angeles Lakers host the Oklahoma City Thunder, all eyes will be on Rui Hachimura. However, betting on the under for his combined points and rebounds at 19.5 could be the savvy play. Over his last five games, Rui has averaged just 12.2 points and 3.6 rebounds, falling short of this total. At home, his numbers dip even further, with averages of 11.4 points and 3.0 rebounds. Against the Thunder specifically, he's managed only 8.4 points and 3.4 rebounds in their recent matchups. With a hit rate of 17 out of his last 20 games for this under, and an impressive home hit rate of 11 out of 13, the trends are clearly in our favor. Given the stakes and the matchup, expecting Rui to stay below 19.5 seems like a solid bet.

LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 41.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-119)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Lakers prepare to face the Thunder, there's a compelling case to be made for betting on LeBron James to fall under 41.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists. Recently, LeBron has been averaging just 18.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 8.6 assists over his last five games, well below our mark. Even at home, where he typically shines, his numbers dip slightly-averaging 16.8 points and 7.6 assists. Against Oklahoma City, he's averaged 23.2 points at home, but the overall trend suggests he's been more of a facilitator lately, especially with his current averages against them showing a slight decline. With a solid hit rate of 9/10 at home recently on this prop, it seems the King might be leaning more towards setting up his teammates than filling the stat sheet himself. In this matchup, the under looks like a savvy play.
