Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

In this showdown between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers, targeting Jake LaRavia for under 1.5 threes feels like a savvy play. While he's shown some flashes recently, averaging just 0.6 threes made over his last five games, his away performance drops even lower to 0.4. The pressure of playing at the Chase Center against a Warriors team that thrives on perimeter defense likely won't help his cause.

Historically, he's averaged just 1.2 threes against the Lakers, and when away, that dips to a mere 1.8. Given these figures, the likelihood of him hitting the over feels slim.
