LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 32.5 Points + Assists (-120)

As the Lakers gear up to take on the Thunder, all eyes will be on LeBron James, but betting on him to go under 32.5 points and assists feels like a savvy move. In his last five outings, LeBron has averaged just 18.4 points and 8.6 assists, numbers that suggest he's been more of a facilitator than a scorer lately. At home, he's seen even lower production, with averages dipping to 16.8 points and 7.6 assists. Historically, when facing the Thunder, he's hit 18.8 points and 5.6 assists, but that's still far shy of our target. Not to mention, he's only surpassed this combined total in two of his last twenty games, and at home, his hit rate is a stellar 90%. With the Lakers likely focusing on teamwork, taking the under on LeBron feels like a sharp play.
