Here are my best Warriors vs. Lakers player prop bet odds and expert picks for tonight's NBA matchup. You can also check out our NBA player prop odds tool for the latest NBA odds at the best legal sportsbooks in your region.
🏀 Best LeBron James prop pick: Over 1.5 steals + blocks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -135 via DraftKings ($10 to win $7.41)
Looking at James' defensive stats against the Warriors makes it easy to tell he cares more about these matchups. James has recorded multiple steals and blocks in four of his past five meetings with Golden State, averaging two per game.
James has also been more active at that end of the floor since returning from his injury. He’s cleared this prop in four of his past six games, including consecutive outings against the Houston Rockets and Memphis Grizzlies.
I like this Over at -150 or better.

🏀 Best Draymond Green prop pick: Over 2.5 steals + blocks ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +105 via DraftKings ($10 to win $10.50)
Sticking with the defensive props, the NBA Defensive Player of the Year odds leader needs to show up in this type of game. Green needs a strong performance on that end of the floor to secure his second DPOY trophy.
He recorded multiple steals and a block against the Grizzlies on Tuesday, and the veteran has cleared this mark in six of his previous eight contests. He’s also cashed this Over in consecutive matchups against Los Angeles.
📊 Best Draymond Green prop bet odds
🏀 Best Gabe Vincent prop pick: Over 1.5 3-pointers ⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -146 via FanDuel ($10 to win $6.85)
Lakers point guard Gabe Vincent has been shooting the ball extremely well lately. He averaged 2.6 triples in March and shot 44.1% from the floor. He hit six 3-pointers against the Houston Rockets on Monday.
Vincent’s shot volume has become exclusively spot-up 3-pointers, and the depth of Los Angeles’ stars leads to open shots. I expect him to play 20-plus minutes as someone who will chase Stephen Curry around, so I like his chances of knocking down multiple threes tonight.
