Los Angeles Lakers Betting Preview

The Lakers have really struggled during Summer League and for a team that has had so much hype, they have been awful. The Lakers have lost all four games. In the last game against the Houston Rockets, the Lakers scored 80 points but the defense 99 points and that led to the defeat. The Lakers' offense wasn’t good enough, but the defense was awful, and this team needs to start caring about the defense. The Lakers were led by Dalton Knecht who put up 25 points while hitting 5 of his 11 shots from deep. There were three different players that put up at least 10 points. Bronny James only put up eight points. For all the hype that has surrounded him, he’s been a major disappointment. 

Boston Celtics Betting Preview

The Celtics faced off against the Miami Heat on Saturday, and they were competitive but ended up falling short. The offense scored 114 points, but the defense gave up 119 points. Jaden Springer had a strong game, putting up 3 points. There were five different players that put up at least 13 points. Neemias Queta put up 20 point, nine rebounds, and two assists. Jahmi’us Ramsey only played 14 minutes abut he put up 16 points. The offense was sure impressive, but the defense is going to need to be better. If the defense struggles again, this could be a long game.
