LA Lakers vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
The Golden State Warriors remain the cash cows in the preseason, with wins in 18 of their last 21 games. The LA Lakers have lost 18 of their last 23 preseason games, and they played an overtime game last night. Knowing all that, this should be a comfortable home win for the Warriors with the rest advantage. However, it’s nearly a double-digit line and I don’t care about the circumstances, I’m not laying this many points in a preseason game. I can’t do it. Give me the Lakers and the boatload of points.
