Golden State Warriors vs. Los Angeles Lakers CashBet Wagering Analysis
The Golden State Warriors look ready after winning both of their pre-season games against the Los Angeles Lakers. But it looked like the Lakers were not even trying and were just trying to get their new players’ feet wet on Frank Vogel’s system. We should see the real Lakers this season on opening night.
Young and Old Warriors
The Golden State Warriors have already combined a mix of the new and the old. They still have Steph Curry caring for the team along with Draymond Green and mixing them up with younger legs. James Wiseman will be in his second year in the league and he might not play on opening night but will have a huge role this season. Rookies Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody have good upsides to their game and will look to contribute as well. Klay Thompson has yet to return to the team but while he is out, Andrew Wiggins will be the next best scoring option behind Steph Curry.
Old but Deadly Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers have been popularized in the off-season in basketball memes after forming the oldest team in the NBA. LeBron James and Anthony Davis will now be joined by Russell Westbrook and he has averaged a triple-double for the past seasons. Among the players that joined them are Carmelo Anthony and DeAndre Jordan. Returning players Rajon Rondo and Dwight Howard look to rekindle their relationship with the Lakers after winning the bubble championship two years ago. Like always, LeBron James will be surrounded with shooters like Kent Bazemore and Malik Monk helping spread on the floor.
