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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we gear up for the clash between the Warriors and Lakers, Jake LaRavia's prop bet for under 1.5 threes made catches my eye. Sure, he's had some success recently, nailing 3-for-3 in his last outings. But let's dig deeper. On the road, he's averaging just 0.4 threes made in his last five games, a stark contrast to his more favorable home numbers. Against the Warriors, LaRavia's typical output dips, averaging only 1.2 threes in their recent matchups. What's particularly telling is that when he's away from his comfort zone, his production sinks-he's only hit that mark in 9 out of his last 9 away games. With Golden State's defense tightening up, I see LaRavia struggling to find his rhythm. This game could very well highlight his limitations, making the under a savvy play.

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

As the Lakers gear up to face the Warriors, all eyes will be on LeBron James, but this time, we might want to bet against his rebounding prowess. With a prop set at 7.5, it's intriguing to consider that LeBron has averaged just 7.2 boards over his last five. Even when playing away, where he typically grabs 7.8 rebounds, he's been trending down just enough to warrant a look at the under.Against Golden State, his past performances show a modest average of 8 rebounds, but it's worth noting that in away matchups, he's only managed 9 against them recently. With the Warriors' pace and the Lakers' depth, LeBron may find himself distributing rather than crashing the boards. The trend doesn't lie either-he's hit the under in 12 of his last 16 away games. This matchup is ripe for taking a shot on the under for LeBron's rebounds.
