Jake LaRavia (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-125)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Los Angeles Lakers head to play the Golden State Warriors, Jake LaRavia's prop bet for under 1.5 threes made feels like a savvy move. Sure, he's shown flashes of ability, averaging 1.2 threes against the Warriors, but let's dig deeper. In the last five games, LaRavia has only managed 0.6 threes per outing, and when playing away, that number dips to a mere 0.4. Now, consider his recent form: while he's hit the mark in his last three games, it's crucial to remember that away games can be a different beast altogether. With an impressive 9/9 streak away, it's tempting, but don't overlook the context. His expected output hovers closer to one, indicating that while he's capable, the pressure cooker of Golden State's defense may keep him under the threshold tonight. Ultimately, targeting the under here aligns perfectly with the trends we've seen

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 I'm leaning toward the under on his rebounding total of 7.5. Sure, he's still a force, but let's look a bit deeper. Over his last five games, he's averaging 7.2 rebounds, and even on the road, that number inches up to 7.8. Yet, when facing the Warriors, he's pulled down just 8 boards in their last five matchups, with a slightly lower away average of 9.Moreover, LeBron has only hit the over on this prop in 15 of his last 20 games, and even more telling, he's been below this mark in 12 of his last 16 away games. The Warriors create a different dynamic with their pace and perimeter shooting, which often leads to fewer rebounds for him. With all that in mind, taking the under feels like a smart move.
