Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors: Prediction and Betting Tips

Possible line-ups for the match:

Los Angeles Lakers:
G – Russell Westbrook | G – Kent Bazemore | F – LeBron James | F – Anthony Davis | C – DeAndre Jordan.
Golden State Warriors:
G – Stephen Curry | G – Jordan Poole | F – Andrew Wiggins | F – Draymond Green | C – Kevon Looney.

Los Angeles Lakers:

A lot of experts are discussing the renewed line-up of the “Lakers” and, again, consider the team one of the main contenders for the championship. Of course, it is extremely important that there are fewer injuries to Anthony Davis, LeBron James to continue his performance at a high level and there was enough depth on the bench, and there they can fight for the title.

The Lakers management played well on the transfer market as, in addition to the king of triple-doubles the team acquired Carmelo Anthony, Deandre Jordan, Malik Monk and Rajon Rondo also returns to the Lakers. As you can see, the “old guard” is in the fold, but now the average age of the players is about 33.

Frank Vogel is pleased with this selection of performers although, in the preseason his squad failed miserably. The team from Los Angeles has lost six straight games and, in the last meeting on the road, was weaker than Sacramento Kings (112-116). Despite that, the head coach expects a good start to the season.

Golden State Warriors:

In the last season, the team played at its best. “The Warriors could have contended for the playoffs, but they lost in overtime (112-117) in the tiebreaker against the Memphis Grizzlies. Of course, the San Francisco team wasn’t expecting this outcome, but it was extremely difficult for Stephen Curry alone without team effort.

Golden State is eagerly awaiting the return to the floor of Klay Thompson, who has missed nearly two years. The star guard will start practicing soon, but you can only imagine the effort it will take to get back to his old level.

The wait is over. It’s time to get locked in.

Steve Kerr’s guys have prepared for the new season as best they can and proved it on the court. The Warriors have won five games in a row and managed to put the Lakers in their place twice, but the regular season will be a very different motivation, so repeating something like that is not that easy.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors statistics:

In last year’s regular season, the Los Angeles Lakers shot 73.9% from the line. You can bet on an individual free throw percentage under 76.5% for the first team.

“Golden State Warriors suffered an average of 14.6 losses per contest during the last NBA regular season. It is reasonable to consider an outcome of an individual loss total of the second team greater than 12.5. 

Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors Tips:

The Los Angeles Lakers will clearly go for a win for their first game of the season, especially at Staples Center in Los Angeles’ home arena.

In our opinion, everything is in the hands of the home team.

Our prediction is a Lakers’ win with the odds of 1.63 with the VBet bookmaker.

The players missed the game and are ready to fight in the new regular season. It looks like the home team will try to crush the rival with their authority and play aggressively at home, but with the problems with the squad of both teams, we expect to see not the most productive match.

Our second prediction is total of points under 229.5 with the odds of 1.69.
