Warriors vs Lakers Player Props: 3 Picks for October 21

Warriors at Lakers player props for October 21 start with Draymond Green over 5.5 assists, Luka Dončić over 31.5 points, and Austin Reaves under 2.5 made 3-pointers. We are pairing a playmaking over and a scoring over with a shooting under for the 10 p.m. ET matchup in Los Angeles.

These DraftKings lines were recorded in the KofSports NBA Player Prop Trends tool on October 21. The supporting 5-game samples come from last season’s regular-season logs, not the new season or preseason. Opening-night rotations and offseason changes can limit how directly those results apply.

Golden State’s availability picture is important. Brandin Podziemski, Jimmy Butler, Moses Moody, and Kristaps Porziņģis are out, while Stephen Curry is probable following an ankle issue. These picks assume Curry plays and the selected players have normal workloads; check final status updates before tipoff.

Warriors vs Lakers: 3 Player Prop Picks

Draymond Green over 5.5 assists (-150)
Luka Dončić over 31.5 points (-114)
Austin Reaves under 2.5 made 3-pointers (-156)

1. Draymond Green Over 5.5 Assists (-150)

Green recorded 6, 6, 7, 12, and 9 assists in the 5-game sample. He cleared 5.5 in all 5 and averaged 8.0 assists. A 6-assist requirement is appealing for a player whose offensive value often comes through creating shots for teammates.

With Golden State short on established offensive personnel, Green has a plausible path to sustained playmaking involvement. His handoffs and short-roll decisions can create chances for Curry and the remaining rotation without requiring Green to score heavily himself.

There are competing effects to the absences. Fewer creators can mean more responsibility, but fewer finishers can also make potential assists harder to convert. This is why we prefer Green’s assist market to simply assuming the injury list benefits every Warriors over.

At -150, the break-even win rate is 60%. The historical sample supports the shortlist, but it is only 5 games. Two cleared by the minimum margin at 6 assists.

Pick: Green over 5.5 assists (-150). Reassess if Curry is ruled out or Green’s role changes before tipoff.

2. Luka Dončić Over 31.5 Points (-114)

Dončić scored 12, 42, 41, 43, and 32 points in the 5-game sample, an average of 34.0. He exceeded 31.5 in 4 of those 5 games, including 3 performances above 40.

We prefer the standalone points market to his 47.5 points-plus-rebounds-plus-assists line. His 5-game scoring average is above the points threshold, whereas the combined-stat average is 47.0, slightly below the PRA line. Points keep the wager tied to his scoring rather than requiring support from rebounds and assists.

At 31.5, this remains a demanding target: 32 points are needed to win. His 12-point result is an obvious reminder that health, minutes and game flow can overwhelm a favorable scoring profile. A strong historical run is not a reason to ignore a late restriction or a materially higher line.

Pick: Dončić over 31.5 points (-114), assuming normal minutes. Compare prices before accepting a jump to 33.5 or higher.

3. Austin Reaves Under 2.5 Made 3-Pointers (-156)

Reaves made 2, 2, 0, 4, and 2 3-pointers in the 5-game sample. That gives the under 4 wins in 5 games and an average of 2.0 made 3s.

This bet allows Reaves to contribute through drives, free throws and playmaking while staying below 3 makes from deep. It is a more specific position than fading his entire offensive performance, and it can coexist with a productive night for the Lakers.

The price is the drawback. At -156, the break-even win rate is 60.9%, and the sample contains 3 games at exactly 2 makes. One additional shot would have changed each of those outcomes. Opening-night shot allocation also needs monitoring after the Lakers’ offseason changes.

Pick: Reaves under 2.5 made 3-pointers (-156). Keep the threshold at 2.5; under 1.5 is a different bet.
