Jake LaRavia (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-128)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Lakers head to Golden State, all eyes are on Jake LaRavia, but betting on him to hit over 1.5 threes might be a mistake. While he's had some success recently, averaging 1.2 threes in his last five outings against the Lakers, the overall picture tells a different story. Away from home, his numbers dip significantly to just 0.4 threes over the last five games. Moreover, despite hitting the mark in his last three games, it's essential to note that LaRavia has played exceptionally well on his home court; his away performances paint a much grimmer picture. With the Warriors' defense pressing hard, it's tough to see him exceeding that 1.5 threshold. Given these trends and the stakes of the matchup, betting the under is a calculated play that has the potential for solid returns.

LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 7.5 Rebounds (-102)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Lakers roll into Golden State, all eyes will be on LeBron James, but we're taking a closer look at his rebounding numbers. With the prop set at 7.5, there's compelling reason to lean toward the under. Over his last five outings, LeBron has averaged just 7.2 rebounds, and when you narrow it to away games, it dips slightly to 7.8. Facing the Warriors, he's brought down around 8 boards historically, but recent trends show a noticeable shift. In fact, his past 20 games reveal he's hit the under 15 times, and remarkably, he's gone under 7.5 in 12 of his last 16 road games. With the Warriors likely to push the pace, the opportunities may not favor him as much this time around. Expect LeBron to focus on facilitating rather than cleaning the glass, making this under bet a smart move.
