Betting on the Golden State Warriors
- Regular Season Record: 44-438
Golden State had its lights knocked out of them in Game 2, as the Warriors suffered a 127-97 loss at the hands of the Lakers. Obviously, the Warriors are a much better team than what that score suggests. It’s a game that the Warriors would rather forget, as they shot just 39.6 percent from the field.
Klay Thompson already had dropped a subtle warning ahead of Game 4, saying that the Warriors “know how to respond” after Game 3. ”We’ve done it in our existence for 10 years here,” the sharpshooter added. That fits right next to the fact that the Warriors are 6-1 against the spread in their last seven games after a loss. Thompson lead Golden State in the second round with 23.3 points per game, while Stephen Curry is No. 2 with 23.3 points per outing.
Betting on the Los Angeles Lakers
- Regular Season Record: 43-39
The Lakers flexed some real muscles in Game 3, as they pummeled Golden State, thanks to the triumvirate of D’Angelo Russell, Anthony Davis, and LeBron James. Russell set the tone for the Lakers by generating all of the Lakers’ first 11 points in the game, while Davis and James churned out fantastic performances to crush Golden State.
Davis recovered from a bad showing in Game 2 and put up 25 points with 13 rebounds, three steals, and four blocks. Davis has a penchant for following up good games with ugly ones, so it will be challenge for him to break out of that trend in Game 4 if he wants to help his team dig a deeper hole for the Warriors. James posted 21 points last Sunday despite not taking a single shot in the opening period. The Lakers are rolling again, and it’s not looking good at the moment for Golden State.
JefeBet Prediction
At some point, Anthony Davis will stop his aforementioned hot-and-cold trend. Game 4 sounds like the best time for him to follow up his strong outing in Game 3 with another. The Lakers’ depth will also come up big for them on Monday. Taking the Lakers to win.
Prediction: The Lakers win, 119-115.
