Betting on the Los Angeles Lakers
- Preseason Record: 0-3
- Spread: +5
- Moneyline: +180
- Over/Under: 227 Points
Los Angeles Lakers remain winless in the preseason and the 0-3 record is already worrisome. First, without three of their stars (LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook), they lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves by 99-114; then, with LeBron scoring an insufficient 23 points, they lost to the Phoenix Suns by 115-119. In addition, in their first preseason game, they received a crushing 30-point defeat at the hands of the Sacramento Kings.
It seems that the presence of LeBron James alone is not enough and that the Lakers will need a little more time to finish meshing this machinery and its new pieces.
Betting on the Golden State Warriors
- Preseason Record: 2-0
- Spread: -5
- Moneyline: -200
- Over/Under: 227 Points
Klay Thompson was ruled out for the Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors preseason NBA 2022-23 game. The reason? Stephen Curry’s teammate must overcome a mental block he is suffering from after injuries that kept him out of the league for 941 days.
My guess is he’ll be ready. But it’s not something we can automatically say yes or no on.
Steve Kerr on whether Klay Thompson will play in the 2022-23 NBA season opener.
The preseason has been a tough one for the Warriors, who experienced an internal incident during a training session, with a heated fight between Draymond Green and Jordan Poole, who had to be separated by their teammates.
JefeBet Prediction
Los Angeles Lakers are going through a rough patch at the beginning of the preseason and the feeling is that they still won’t find the performance they are aiming for. Golden State is several rungs higher in performance, and at JefeBet we believe that will be enough for them to have a safe victory.
Prediction: Golden State Warriors win 115-98.
