1.88Tip and bets
Bookmakers don't really believe in the Golden State's success. BC experts consider the Lakers to be the clear favorite of the upcoming match. In general, that's the way it is. The Warriors are going through a crisis and are not at all pleased with their fans with the results. The team is trying to rebuild as the season progresses, but so far Kerr has not been very successful. The club from Los Angeles has slowly adjusted the game and noticeably improved the standings. Redick's players will have to achieve victory with the noisy support of their fans.
Our prediction is that the Lakers will win with a handicap of (-6.5) points, including overtime in 1.72
Bet on the total
Head-to-head matches between the Lakers and Golden State are usually quite productive. In the last ten games, the average was 227 points. There are no prerequisites for the teams to pay more attention to defense this time. The match should be productive again.
Our forecast is a total of more than 223.5 points, including overtime in 2.09
The bet on the player
James played 71 games in the 2023/24 regular season and averaged 26.7 points per game. In this championship, his score is still slightly lower — 24.1. But the 40-year-old striker proves with his game that he is able to maintain a decent level of performance. The three-time Olympic champion in the U.S. national team will have to demonstrate his sniper skills this time.
Our forecast is that James' total points are over 25.5, including overtime in 1.87
