NBA betting: Warriors to put sorry Lakers to the sword

A 4-1 day yesterday brought a smile to my face, so let’s try to close the week out winning again.

Los Angeles Lakers @ Golden State Warriors

I know 14 points is a lot, but wait until you see the Lakers’ starting group! The Warriors can go easy and still win this by 25 with LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook all out.

'NEVER IN MY LIFE': Fury at NBA referees over 'embarassing' ejection

I know that Klay Thompson is going to take a lot of shots - that’s a given, I just hope they go in enough to eclipse his 21.5 points line. I think they do and it is paying $1.89 on Sportsbet.

Best bet handicap - Warriors -14

Best bet player points - Thompson over 21.5

Portland Trail Blazers @ New Orleans Pelicans

The Blazers will get smacked, but the game total is quite low, sitting at only 222.5. I don’t think either team is known for defence, so I think the over is the way to go here.

Let’s go wild with this one. Jaxson Hayes to get zero assists is paying $2.63 on Sportsbet.

He has had zero in three of his last six games, all starts, but he has had four in his last two combined. He is ‘due’ for a blackhole game.

Best bet game total - over 222.5

Best bet player assists - Hayes under 0.5

Orlando Magic @ Charlotte Hornets

There seems to be a very low line set for PJ Washington Jr.’s rebounds. It’s only 5.5 which seems like something he will have every chance of pushing past.

The odds are down, just $1.77 on Sportsbet, but I still think it’s a winning proposition.

Best bet player rebounds - Washington over 5.5
