After a dominant win in Game 2, the Warriors are hoping to win back-to-back games as they head to Crypto.com Arena to take on the Lakers. You can watch the game live from 8:30 pm ET on ABC, andd I’ve prepared a Same Game Parlay which you can find below.
I was just 1 Cam Payne three-pointer away from landing my Same Game Parlay in last night’s Nuggets vs Suns game, so let’s hope for a bit more luck with this bet.

LA Lakers 1-10 win margin (+175)
After their upset win in Game 1, the Lakers were only competitive in the 1st quarter of Game 2 as they lost 127-100. There’s no time for them to dwell on that loss as games in this series will now be played every other day. LeBron James had a decent scoring game with 23, but he played only 28 minutes as the team was down big in the 3rd quarter. That might be a good thing for him as he didn’t exert himself too much. Winning the next 2 games at home will be crucial for the Lakers if they intend to advance from this series. They’ve won their last 6 games at Crypto.com Arena and are 5-1 SU in their last 6 against the Warriors there. Game 3 is a tricky one to predict after the first 2 games of this series were vastly different from one another. But I think it’s now time for the Lakers to make an adjustment and respond to the Warriors’ pace from Game 2. LA has the 2nd-best defensive rating in home games this postseason, so I’ll take my chances by backing them to win a close game.

D’Angelo Russell over 15.5 points (-122)
D’Angelo Russell’s form in these playoffs has been up and down at times, but with the series moving to LA for the next 2 games his number will be called and I think he will respond. He’s averaging 16.1 points per game this postseason which ranks 3rd on the team. He has cleared this line in 5 of 8 games, while during the regular season against his former team he averaged 15.3 points per game in just 27.5 minutes per game. With him averaging over 30 minutes a game in the playoffs, it’s natural to assume his production will also go up. Over his last 7 games he’s been very efficient from the field at 54.3%, and from deep he’s averaging 46.3% of makes. Dealing with Stephen Curry on defense has cost him a lot of energy, but it’s the same the other way around too. Russell has the size advantage, so I think we’ll see him exploit that down the stretch in crunch time. I’m counting on the Lakers point guard to show up.

Jordan Poole over 1.5 made threes (-150)
Despite his shortcomings in this postseason run, Jordan Poole is still 4th on the Warriors in scoring, averaging 12.3 points per game. After a superb performance in Game 1 when he knocked down 6 threes, he just couldn’t find his rhythm as Steve Kerr played him for only 16 minutes. As a team Golden State has been letting it fly in this series and has scored 21 threes in back-to-back games, so I think the Warriors will stick with that strategy as long as it’s yielding the results they’re hoping for. Poole’s minutes should go up, and I don’t think Kerr is ready to play Steph for 40+ minutes, after all the Warriors are gunning for another deep run in the postseason, so they will need to keep their core players fresh. Poole has scored at least 2 threes in 4 of 8 games in the playoffs, and on the road during the regular season he posted an efficiency of 32.5%. LA just can’t seem to find a way to limit the Warriors’ shooting in this series and they’ve allowed 40.6% of made threes in their last 3 games, so I like Poole’s chances of scoring a pair.
