Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors Picks & Predictions

Jake LaRavia (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-130)

As the Lakers gear up for a crucial clash against the Warriors, all eyes should be on Jake LaRavia, particularly when it comes to his three-point shooting. While he has shown flashes of brilliance, averaging 1.2 threes against this opponent, the away numbers tell a different story. LaRavia's recent form reveals he's only hitting 0.4 threes per game on the road, a significant dip when you consider the pressure of playing at Chase Center.Even in his last nine away games, he's managed to hit the mark consistently, yet his overall average remains underwhelming at just 0.6 in the last five outings. With the Warriors' perimeter defense tightening up, this might be a game where LaRavia struggles to find his rhythm. Betting the Under on 1.5 threes feels like a smart play here, capitalizing on the numbers while banking on a challenging matchup.

Luke Kennard (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 2.5 Threes Made (-128)

In tonight's matchup between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers, targeting Luke Kennard for under 2.5 threes made feels like a shrewd play. While Kennard seems to have a knack for hitting the long ball, his recent performances tell a different story. Over his last five games, he's only averaged 1.2 threes overall, and even when playing away, that number bumps up to just 1.6. Against the Warriors specifically, he's averaged 2.8 threes, but that's somewhat misleading given it's a number bolstered by earlier games that don't reflect his current form. The reality is he's hit the under in four straight games, both overall and away. With the Warriors' fierce defense and Kennard's inconsistent footwork on the road, it's reasonable to expect him to come in under the mark again tonight. Trust the stats; this one feels solid.
