Leg 1: Andrew Wiggins 12+ Points
Leg 2: LeBron James 4+ Assists
Leg 3: Dennis Schroder 2+ Assists
This same-game parlay cashed with eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of Game 1. We have incredible hit rates for all three of these legs. And, in this specific matchup, Dennis Schroder is seeing increased playing time, which is perfect for us.
Let's kick things off with Andrew Wiggins. He's scored at least 12 points in 27 of Golden State's 30 playoff games over the last two seasons, averaging 16.8 PPG. Wiggs is locked into at least 32 minutes of action and could easily see up to 36-38 minutes in a must-win Game 2 for Golden State. The Warriors forward has 12+ points in 28 of 29 games when seeing at least 32 minutes this season and should continue to benefit from the Lakers' defensive strategy of sagging off of him.
LeBron James' assist numbers have fallen this postseason. However, I'm not too worried about him racking up four dimes. He has 4+ assists in six of LA's seven playoff games, with his lone miss coming in a three-assist game last round. King James reached this mark in 50 of 55 games during the regular season. He has eight, eight, and four assists in his three games against Golden State this season and should be able to get to at least four tonight.
As for Dennis Schroder, his 31 minutes in Game 1 were the most he's seen so far this postseason. He's recorded multiple assists in 63 of 73 games this season, and he's seen an expanded role every time the Lakers and Warriors have faced off. Schroder is as well-suited to chase Steph Curry around as anyone on the Lakers' roster, so he should remain locked into a significant role in Game 2. He posted 4.5 assists per 30 minutes this season and should be able to finish with a couple of them this evening.
