May 3 NBA props today: Steph Curry, LeBron James, and Anthony Davis props, plus more

There's just one game tonight as the Warriors look to even the series with the Lakers. Here are the May 4 NBA odds:

• Lakers (+210 ML) at Warriors (-6) - 9 p.m. ET, LAL leads 1-0

Below are our best NBA player props today, including picks for LeBron James, Steph Curry and Anthony Davis.

Steph Curry props: Over 30.5 Points (-120 or better)

Thirty-one points is a big number, but one that is well within Curry’s range. This isn’t technically a must-win game, but we’ve seen Curry excel in these types of near-desperate scenarios.

Curry shot a pedestrian 41.7% in Game 1 and still managed 27 points thanks to six 3-pointers. 

Perhaps he will also get more volume from the line, too — he only attempted one free throw on Tuesday. 

The best shooter of all time tallied 31 or more points on four occasions in Round 1, including that 50-point eruption in Game 7. 

Between Curry getting his legs back and Steve Kerr making some adjustments on offense, we think he gets to 31 again.

LeBron James props: Under 25.5 Points (-113 or better)

James led the Lakers in usage and played the full fourth quarter, a fact that suggests tired legs for the 38-year-old. 

Making matters more challenging for James is his lack of efficiency from the field in Game 1, where he shot just 9-for-24 from the field. 

James will require considerable volume to go over the total and if you buy the fatigue narrative, all signs lead to under 25.5 points. 

It also isn’t outrageous to anticipate the Lakers being happy to return home with the series locked at 1-1, which could lead to fewer minutes for The King. 

Anthony Davis props: Under 40.5 Points + Rebounds (-115 or better)

Fatigue is the primary theme heading into Game 2 and with the Lakers having won the first game, this is a fade spot for their stars. 

Davis dominated with a monster 30-23-5 line along with four block in Game 1. But he did so in 44 minutes, playing the entirety of the second half.

The Lakers go as Davis goes, but he has alternated games in which he's put up big numbers, and fatigue should play a role in that trend continuing after he played 44+ minutes just once this season.

NBA player props today: Stephen Curry (-5.5 Points) vs. LeBron James (-120 or better)

Here's a bonus prop for Game 2 based on the narrative we've laid out above. 

Backing Curry in this spot is reasonably simple. If you like the Under on James and the Over on Curry, you naturally like Curry to outscore James by at least 6 points.

It's reasonable to consider the idea that the Lakers will pocket their Game 1 win, while Curry and the Warriors can't afford to go down 0-2 at home. 

Not all sportsbooks have this line, so shop around for these NBA player props.
