I’m going to start with a prop bet here, taking Jerami Grant under 14.5 combined points and rebounds.

He’s gone under the total in both games so far and I’d anticipate less opportunities for him going forward.

He played only 25 minutes in game 2 and only had 4 field goal attempts, one of which was from 3.

His rebounding has also been shambolic for a forward, managing only 4 boards across 62 minutes of action.

He hasn’t shot well from deep throughout the post-season and appears to have lost confidence in his jump shot.

I’d expect more minutes for Michael Porter and Torrey Craig here, further hurting his chances of a good stat-line.

The second prop I’m going to take here is Jamal Murray under 6.5 assists.

He’s put up some big minute totals of late, yet hasn’t managed to get over 5 assists in any of his last 4 games.

The offense is running mainly through Jokic, with Murray asked to be more of a scorer/shooter than a facilitator.

A lot of Denver’s wing players aren’t getting it done shooting from deep, which will likely make Murray even less inclined to pass here.

The Lakers appear to be guarding him straight up, giving him reasonable opportunities to create his own offense.

I don’t see a drastic uptake in his passes and assists here and I’ll take the under at this relatively high number.
