It's Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals between Dallas and Vegas, and the Stars desperately need to find a win tonight.

One LeBron rebound shy of a triple-double, ugh. So close, yet so far. Down 2-0, we expect the Lakers to bring a spirited effort in Game 3 at home and win, and we may just have to go back to a LeBron/Jokic triple-double parlay again.
