He&#8217;s fallen under this number in three straight games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, The Brow still averages 26.6 PPG and has cleared this total in 16 of 27 starts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Golden State profiles to be a great matchup for Davis, who leads Los Angeles in points and field-goal attempts (18.4) per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Warriors have the second-worst midrange defence (45.7%) in the NBA and Davis ranks in the 92nd percentile for mid-range shot frequency (47%), per Cleaning the Glass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reaves over 19.5 PRA (-435):<\/strong> I took Reaves over 24.5 PRA as one of my three <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nba-prop-bets-december-25-2024\">Christmas Day prop bets<\/a> and will shave a few counting stats off for safety here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>L.A.&#8217;s shooting guard has been buzzing since his return from injury earlier this month:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>18.0 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 5.0 APG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>25+ PRA in 4\/5 games<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>20+ PRA in 5\/5 games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Reaves is only shooting 44.1% from the floor and 34.3% from deep in that span but his volume is up and that&#8217;s nice to see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is room for improvement as he faces a Warriors team allowing the 11th-most points and 12th-most rebounds per game to SGs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-049eee7c-fa25-40b8-b13d-7bb92000f313\"><em>Picks made at 11:00 a.m. on 12\/24\/24.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors meet in a star-studded Christmas Day matchup.
