As the Lakers gear up to face the Thunder, all eyes will be on LeBron James, but betting on him to hit more than 1.5 threes might be a gamble worth passing on. Over his last five games, LeBron has averaged just 0.8 threes per game overall, dipping to 0.6 when playing at home. Even his history against the Thunder shows he's only managing about 1.2 threes at home in their recent encounters. With a perfect 9-for-9 hit rate over his past games, it's tempting to think he'll keep that up. However, the numbers suggest otherwise, especially with an expected stat value of just 1.17 threes. Given these trends, targeting the under on LeBron's three-point total seems like a savvy play, especially in a matchup where he may prioritize playmaking over perimeter shooting.
