10:00 p.m. ET: Golden State Warriors (0-0) at L.A. Lakers (0-0)
Spread: Lakers -3.5
Over/Under: 226.5
The Lakers have James and Anthony Davis who are now surrounded by the likes of Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, DeAndre Jordan, Rajon Rondo, and Dwight Howard, the latter two having returned to the team after playing elsewhere last season. The Warriors return 6 of the 8 players who got minutes in the season-ending loss, but still are without All-Star guard Klay Thompson, who continues to rehab an Achilles injury that cost him the entire 2021 season, and big man James Wiseman, who is still out. Despite the Lakers playing terribly in the pre-season, this is the regular season and the Warriors are banged up. Look for the Lakers to make a statement on opening day to get the win.
