The Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors are playing a crucial Game 4 matchup on Monday night, and Los Angeles has a chance to take a 3-1 lead in the series.
Golden State was blown out in Game 3, and the team has gotten inconsistent production from everyone not named Steph Curry this entire series.
Does that change in Game 4? I have a prop for Curry and two Lakers players, including Anthony Davis, for Monday's action:
Warriors vs. Lakers best NBA prop bets
- Anthony Davis OVER 4.5 Steals and Blocks
- D'Angelo Russell OVER 16.5 Points
- Steph Curry UNDER 30.5 Points
Anthony Davis OVER 4.5 Steals and Blocks
The Lakers have played nine playoff games, and Davis has put up at least five combined steals and blocks in six of them.
He's been a menace on defense even if his shot isn't falling, averaging an absurd 4.1 blocks and 1.3 steals per game in the playoffs.
The Warriors don't have much size, so Davis is going to get some easy blocks based on his height advantage, so I'll ride with him clear this at plus money.
D'Angelo Russell OVER 16.5 Points
D'Angelo Russell has been hot in this series, scoring 19 and 21 points in the Lakers' wins in Game 1 and Game 3.
If Los Angeles is going to win, Russell is going to have his hands all over it. In the Lakers' wins in this postseason, Russell has scored 19, 17, 17, 31, 19 and 21 points, clearing this number in six of nine games.
A bet on Russell is sort of similar to a bet on Los Angeles based on this trend, but he's shot too well (45.7 percent from the field) in the playoffs not to back him here.
Steph Curry UNDER 30.5 Points
The Lakers are doing everything they can to make sure Curry doesn't beat them, putting Jarred Vanderbilt on him and attempting to limit his shot attempts.
Curry has 27, 20 and 23 points in the three games in this series, yet oddsmakers refuse to lower his prop below 30 points.
Even over his last five games, Steph has just one game with more than 30 points. I'll fade him here with the Lakers daring anyone else to beat them.
