Jake LaRavia (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-122)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Lakers gear up to face the Warriors, Jake LaRavia's three-point shooting is intriguing yet temperamental. Currently, he's averaging just 0.6 threes over his last five games, and when you look at his away performances, that drops even further to 0.4. He's shown a bit of a spark against the Warriors, with a slight uptick to 1.2 threes made, but that's not enough to ignore the context of this matchup. The Warriors are notoriously stingy from beyond the arc, and LaRavia's recent hit rate of 3/3 is tempting, but the reality is his overall trend doesn't support hitting the over today. In fact, his away hit rate over the last nine games stands at a perfect 9/9 for unders, suggesting he might struggle to find his rhythm against Golden State's defense. With the expected stat value sitting at just 1, backing the under feels like the sharper play here.

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

As the Lakers face off against the Warriors, LeBron James may be in for a quieter night on the boards. Averaging just 7.2 rebounds over his last five games, LeBron has been more of a facilitator than a dominant force on the glass recently. His numbers dip even further when playing away, where he's pulling down only about 7.8 rebounds-a stat that doesn't scream "over" for his 7.5 prop. Against Golden State, while he's averaged 8 rebounds historically, that number climbs to 9 when on the road, but let's not forget the Warriors' pace and perimeter-oriented style can limit opportunities for rebounds. With a hit rate of just 15 out of 20 in his last outings, it's reasonable to expect LeBron to stay under this threshold. Given these considerations, betting the under feels like a smart play as he likely focuses on playmaking rather than crashing the boards this time around.

Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors) Over 27.5 Points + Rebounds (-127)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Golden State Warriors face off against the Los Angeles Lakers, all eyes will be on Stephen Curry, and for good reason. Playing at home, Curry has a knack for elevating his game-averaging a remarkable 31.2 points against the Lakers in their last five matchups at Chase Center. His recent form doesn't hurt either, boasting an average of 24.4 points and 2.2 rebounds in his last five games. But here's the kicker: when you look at his home performances, those numbers jump to 20.8 points and 2.8 rebounds. Given that he's cleared the 27.5 mark in four of his last six games, it's clear that he thrives in this setting. With an expected stat value of 31.32, it's hard to bet against the sharpshooter. Curry's home-court advantage and his history against the Lakers make this prop bet a compelling play.
