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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When it comes to Jake LaRavia and his three-point shooting, the numbers tell an intriguing story as the Lakers head to Golden State. Despite a recent uptick, his overall average of just 0.6 threes made in the last five games suggests he's struggling to find his rhythm. Even on the road, where he's averaged only 0.4 threes, LaRavia has seen a slight boost against the Warriors, hitting 1.2 threes in their last five matchups.However, here's the catch: he's only surpassed 1.5 threes in three attempts recently, and his away performance over the last nine games shows a perfect 9/9 on the under. Given this backdrop, betting under 1.5 threes feels like a smart move. With an implied probability of 56.2%, it's hard to ignore the trends indicating LaRavia may struggle to reach that mark in a tough environment.

Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors) Over 24.5 Points + Rebounds (-217)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Warriors prepare to host the Lakers, Stephen Curry is primed for a standout performance that leans heavily toward the over on 24.5 combined points and rebounds. In his last five games, he's averaged nearly 24.4 points, but the real magic happens against L.A., where he's put up an impressive 26.8 points per game. At home, that number jumps to an eye-popping 31.2, showcasing his ability to elevate his game in front of the Chase Center crowd. Rebounds tell a similar story; Curry has averaged 3.4 boards against the Lakers, and his home average is significantly better than his overall, suggesting he's more engaged on his court. With a solid hit rate of 14 out of the last 20 games, it's clear that the conditions are ripe for Curry to not only meet but exceed that 24.5 mark as he looks to energize his team in a crucial playoff matchup.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As LeBron James and the Lakers gear up to face the Warriors, a keen eye on his rebounding performance suggests a compelling case for taking the under on 7.5 boards. While he averages 7.2 rebounds over his last five games, his away numbers drop slightly to 7.8, showing a trend that could weigh heavily against him in this matchup.Against the Warriors, historically, LeBron has averaged 8 rebounds-yet on the road, that number creeps down to about 9. Given his recent form-hitting the under in 12 of his last 16 away games-it's clear that he's not as dominant on the glass when playing in hostile territory. With an expected stat value of 6.57 and a solid 75% hit rate in recent contests, it's reasonable to believe LeBron's rebounding will be stifled in San Francisco. This matchup might just see him focus more on playmaking than cleaning up the boards.
