Luke Kennard (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 2.5 Threes Made (-120)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Lakers head to Golden State, Luke Kennard's recent form raises a few eyebrows, especially when targeting the under on his three-pointers made. While he's been impressive in recent contests, averaging 1.6 threes on the road and hitting the mark against the Warriors, the numbers suggest a different narrative. In his last five games, Kennard has only managed 1.2 threes per game overall. Moreover, his hit rate against Golden State is solid at 2.8, but it's crucial to note that this includes some inflated performances. Facing a Warriors team that excels defensively, Kennard may find it challenging to replicate those numbers. The pressure of playing away could also hinder his rhythm. With an expected stat value of just 1.81 and a solid history of going under this total, betting on Kennard to stay below 2.5 threes feels like a savvy play.

Jake LaRavia (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-132)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Lakers gear up to face the Warriors, Jake LaRavia's shooting performance becomes a focal point. While he has shown flashes of potential, his recent form suggests that hitting more than 1.5 threes in this matchup may be a stretch. Over the last five games, he's averaging a modest 0.6 threes made overall, and only 0.4 on the road. Even when facing the Warriors, he's only managed 1.2 threes on average against them, which dips to 1.8 when playing away. With the Warriors deploying a tight perimeter defense, LaRavia's chances of finding space for those open looks are slim. His impressive away hit rate of 9/9 is tantalizing, but he hasn't consistently found his rhythm against elite defenses. This all points to a smart play on the Under 1.5 threes-sometimes, the numbers tell a story of restraint, and this is one of those times.
