The Golden State Warriors got a much-needed win in Game 2, but now the series heads to Los Angeles for Game 3, and the Dubs have struggled on the road all season. Bettors seeking a viable same-game parlay (SGP) for tonight’s Warriors-Lakers Game 3 should target these lines at FanDuel — we’re going to concentrate on fading Klay Thompson.

Best Lakers-Warriors NBA Same-Game Parlay for Game 3 | May 6
Let’s establish the premise of this parlay: the Golden State Warriors, especially Klay Thompson, have struggled on the road this season. Thompson averaged 19.2 points per game on the road in the regular season, 5.2 fewer than what he averaged at home. He is also averaging just under 21 points per game on the road in the postseason. Because he just racked up a monster 30-point game on Thursday, we can get the under at a discount.
Klay Thompson Under 21.5 Points
So we’re obviously playing Thompson’s under tonight for the reasons stated above. Thompson has struggled on the road this year and averaged less than this per road game both in the regular season and playoffs, but we’re getting this teased-down number at odds of +128 anyway. Thank you, FanDuel!
Austin Reaves 1+ Steal
We’re also going to back Austin Reaves in the steal department. The Warriors’ road struggles have extended to turnovers. The Lakers have allowed exactly 8 steals per game on the road, 0.4 more than what they’ve allowed at home, while turning the ball over 16.6 times per road game, 1.1 more than what they’ve averaged at home. Reaves averaged 0.5 steals per game but recorded at least one in each of his home games against Golden State.
Austin Reaves 1+ Made 3
We’ve already got some exposure to Reaves, so why not get a little bit more? We’ll back Reaves to hit a single 3-pointer to get the juice on this parlay slightly higher. Reaves hit at least one 3-pointer in 47 of his 64 regular-season appearances and has done so in each of his playoff starts. With Golden State likelier to go small, expect Reaves to see the floor for more minutes — and to take more 3’s — as the Lakers try to keep up.
Los Angeles Lakers Moneyline
We’re also backing the Lakers to keep the Warriors in check at the end of the day. Golden State has gone 12-32 straight up in road games this year, and although the team scored two much-needed road wins in Sacramento last series, they didn’t do so until deep down the stretch. Plus, if Thompson isn’t hitting his shots and Reaves is forcing turnovers, the Lakers should come out ahead in the box score.
