The Los Angeles Lakers will finally be back at home tonight for Game 3 against the Phoenix Suns. Fans at the Staples Center will be roaring as this is the first playoff game in Los Angeles since the 2013 season!

We are looking to get back on track tonight with plenty of prop bets to target.

The Los Angeles Lakers player to attack in the prop market tonight is Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

KCP has been struggling from the field as of late and videos circulated around social media of LeBron James telling Pope to continue shooting the ball. Pope has had many wide-open quality shots in this series so far, he just can’t get them to fall.

After taking a look at some stats from Game 1 and 2, Kentavious has attempted a total of 11 threes through 2 games. The quality of shots he’s seen has been great, but it just hasn’t translated to points being that he’s 1/11 from three this series.

On WynnBET, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope’s player prop for three-pointers made sits at 1.5. Look for KCP to break out of his shooting slump and knock down some shots, with his home crowd of Los Angeles behind him. Lock in KCP Over 1.5 3’s at -120.

The Phoenix Suns player to attack in the prop market tonight is Deandre Ayton. 

Deandre Ayton has played extremely well in Game 1 and 2 of the first round. Ayton is coming off scoring 21 and 22 points in the first 2 games of the series. More notably he’s played 42 total minutes last game and 36 Game 1, which is the highest total for any player on both teams.

Tonight Ayton’s points prop sits at 15.5.  Ayton has seen plenty of touches throughout this series, and he will likely be on the court for a significant amount of time. The over 15.5 points is a great bet to make tonight. For my final play, I’m locking in Deandre Ayton over 15.5 points at +100.

For a final recap of bets placed tonight I’m rolling with KCP Over 1.5 3’s at -120, and Deandre Ayton over 15.5 points at +100. Best of luck to all the readers!
