ASA free NBA bet April 7

ASA play on OVER 221.5 LA Lakers @ Golden State Warriors, 10PM ET

Hasta la vista Lakers! This roster was put together by LeBron and was destined to fail right from the start. Los Angeles will miss the playoffs and will have to make major moves in the offseason if they expect to compete next season. Was it a coincidence that LeBron sat several games down the stretch against good defensive teams and when his team was in dire need of him to make the playoffs? He needs to play in the final three games to be eligible for the scoring title so I’d be surprised if he doesn’t play here. The Lakers are 12^th in scoring at 111.6PPG and 7^th in overall FG% offense and if they get to 110 or more this game goes Over. A big reason why will be the points the Warriors put up. Golden State is still playing for a better playoff position, so we know what kind of effort we’ll get from them. The Warriors should score plenty here against a Lakers defense that is 26^th in points allowed, 22^nd in FG% defense and 16^th in defending the 3. The Lakers have allowed 1.230-points per possession in their last five games and 122.9PPG. The Warriors are 10^th in both overall FG% and 3PT%.  The three meetings this season between these two teams has ended with 240, 232 and 235 total points. More of the same here.
