Betting on theGolden State Warriors
- Preseason record: 0-0
- Probability: (10/11)
The Warriors will be in charge of opening the NBA preseason and also the regular round schedule with the tough mission of revalidating last season’s title.
To do so, they will not have an easy road with several teams in the West strengthened and a rather discreet transfer market where their most talked-about acquisition was point guard/guard Donte DiVincenzo, not to mention the departure of Gary Payton Jr, a key man to win the ring last season.
Their star player, Stephen Curry, began training last week and is expected to see some minutes of action in the Warriors’ doubleheader in Japan against the Wizards. Klay Thompson and Draymond Green will also be there, although it will be more interesting to see how young James Wiseman and Jonathan Kuminga will be able to contribute this year.
Betting on the Washington Wizards
- Preseason record: 0-0
- Probability: (10/11)
With Bradley Beal renewed for five more years, the Wizards begin the NBA preseason with high hopes of fighting for a postseason berth in the 2022-23 season.
The first test will be this Friday against the Warriors, the reigning league champions, who will demand the utmost from a team that is hoping Kristaps Porzingis can produce like he can after acquiring him last year during the foreign exchange market, and with the utmost hope that he will not be injured again.
Washington made quite a few moves during the preseason trade market and while they traded away names like Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Ish Smith and Thomas Bryant, they added depth with the likes of Will Barton, Taj Gibson, Monte Morris and Delon Wright.
JefeBet Prediction
As this is the first match of the preseason, the odds are very even for both teams without much certainty as to how many minutes their main stars will see it’s hard to give a clear favorite, although with Curry on your team and being the reigning champs we can never count the Warriors out.
Prediction: Warriors win.
