After losing the first two games, the Los Angeles Lakers must turn things around in Game 3. They’ll benefit from home-court advantage for this one at least. Bettors seeking a viable NBA same-game parlay (SGP) for Saturday’s Nuggets-Lakers Western Conference Finals Game 3 should target these lines at Parlay Builder!
Best Nuggets-Lakers NBA Same-Game Parlay for Game 3 | WCF
The Los Angeles Lakers have not lost a home playoff game thus far, and I don’t expect that to change in Game 3. Their strong home record underpins this parlay, and one of their best players in the Crypto.com Arena, D’Angelo Russell, features heavily as well.
D’Angelo Russell 15+ Points
We’re only adding one plus-money leg to our parlay for Saturday’s action, and it’s this one. Russell has gone for 15-plus points in each of his Game 3’s thus far. He has averaged a whopping 18.2 points per home playoff game and beat this number in five of his six home starts. This is a prime buy-low spot after Russell struggled in Games 1 and 2.
D’Angelo Russell 2+ 3-Pointers
If Russell gets to the 15-point margin, it’s likely he’ll sink a pair of 3-pointers in the process. Russell has sunk at least two 3-pointers in all but one of his home playoff starts. Although he started this series by shooting 1-for-8 (12.5%) from beyond the arc, he converted 39.6% of his treys in the regular season and has converted 32.5% in the postseason.
Jamal Murray Under 28.5 Points
FanDuel Sportsbook lets us fit one teased-up under into each same-game parlay, so we’ll target Murray’s points for this one. I think there’s plenty of value on the under for Murray’s unteased points total, which is set to 25.5, but I’d rather get a bit of wiggle room by buying this number. Murray entered the fourth quarter of Game 3 with only 14 points to his name. He scored only seven points against his primary defenders, Dennis Schröder and Jarred Vanderbilt.
Jamal Murray Under 3.5 3-Pointers
We’ll keep fading Murray with this leg. Although Murray is averaging five 3-pointers per game on a 45.5% conversion rate so far this series, that number is likely unsustainable. Murray entered this series averaging only 2.9 3-pointers per playoff game on a 39.5% conversion rate. Murray has recorded four 3-pointers in only 26 of his 78 total appearances this year. Just seven of those were away games.
Los Angeles Lakers Moneyline
The Los Angeles Lakers are only 30-18 on the road this year, but they have won their last eight home contests. After the All-Star Break, the Lakers went on an impressive 9-4 home tear to end the regular season. The Nuggets have gone an unconvincing 21-25 on the road and have dropped at least one road game in each of their playoff series. Expect them to drop another on Saturday night.
