5 minNBA Playoffs Same-Game Parlay Picks Today: Warriors vs. Lakers
The Lakers-Warriors Western Conference Semifinals matchup is doing numbers. You'll have to pay up if you want to attend a game.
This series might do better ratings than the NBA Finals. It's Steph Curry vs. LeBron James. It's a rematch between the two players with a lot of history in the NBA Finals.
But only one top-ten NBA player will make it to the Western Conference Finals.
So far, LeBron James and the Lakers are closer after escaping with a Game 1 victory on the road. Can the Warriors respond and tie the series at one?
Here are a couple of same-game parlays to consider for tonight's matchup.
NBA Same-Game Parlays for Thursday
Warriors vs. Lakers Same-Game Parlay
3-Leg Same-Game Parlay Odds (+437) (Bet $100 to collect $537) Click here to find out which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
- LeBron James Under 25.5 Points (-111)
- Dennis Schroder Over 2.5 Assists (-166)
- Kevon Looney Over 13.5 Rebounds (-136)
LeBron James played 40 minutes in Game 1 and attempted 24 shots. But he didn't even make ten attempts and finished with 22 points.
LeBron is no longer the most efficient scorer. He's settling for threes, and those shots aren't going in. He went 1-for-8 from downtown in Game 1 and went under 20% from three against the Grizzlies in the first playoff series. He's got a supporting cast this year. He's got other guys who can score. James won't have big outbursts every game this year.
Meanwhile, Dennis Schroder has averaged five assists per game against the Warriors. He played 31 minutes off the bench and added 19 points with three assists. That would be enough to hit the over. Schroder has hit three assists in 73% of games this season.
But guess who's cleaning up all of James' three-point bricks? It's Kevon Looney. Looney added 23 rebounds against the Lakers in Game 1. He also averaged 15.1 rebounds per game against the Kings in the first playoff series. Looney already has three games with 20+ rebounds in the playoffs. That's absurd. Take his Over.

3-Leg Same-Game Parlay Odds (+376) (Bet $100 to collect $476) Click here to find out which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
- Kevon Looney Over 3.5 Assists (-130)
- Jordan Poole Over 1.5 Threes (-162)
- LeBron James Under 2.5 Threes (-148)
Looney isn't just a rebounder, either. He added five assists in 29 minutes and finished 5-for-11 from the field with 10 points. He's already had four games with five or more assists in the playoffs. The big man has hit this line in seven of his last ten games. It helps when your team is full of premier shooters.
One of those premier shooters is Jordan Poole. Poole went 6-for-11 from downtown against the Lakers in Game 1. He had all the confidence in Game 1. Although he missed the most crucial shot of the game, Poole had support from his teammates, suggesting that the shot was a good look. As long as his teammates got his back, Poole will continue to take plenty of threes and drain them.
Finally, LeBron has been dreadful from downtown, as I suggested above. He went under 20% from deep while shooting nearly seven threes per game against the Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs. He then shot 1-for-8 against the Warriors in Game 1 of this series. He hasn't hit three threes in six straight games.
